Protect Your Vision with Early Detection & Ongoing Care
Most serious eye diseases start quietly. You may not notice any symptoms until it’s too late. That’s why regular eye exams are one of the most powerful tools in preserving your sight.
At Dr. Zargar Eyecare, we use our technology to detect eye conditions early and create a care plan that puts your long-term vision first. Whether you’re managing Diabetes, concerned about your risk of glaucoma, or simply due for a check-up, we’re here to help you stay ahead of eye disease.
Don’t wait for symptoms to appear. Book your eye exam with Dr. Zargar Eyecare today.
Why Early Diagnosis Matters
Many eye diseases progress quietly and can cause irreversible damage if left untreated. Regular comprehensive eye exams give us the opportunity to:
- Catch diseases in their earliest stages
- Start treatment before vision is affected
- Monitor your eye health over time
- Help reduce your risk of long-term complications
Whether you’re managing a chronic condition or just due for a check-up, early detection could make all the difference. We assess, monitor, and help manage a range of eye diseases and conditions.
Glaucoma Management
Often called the “silent thief of sight,” glaucoma damages the optic nerve, which is responsible for sending visual information to your brain. It’s typically caused by increased pressure inside the eye, though it can also occur with normal eye pressure (normal-tension glaucoma).
- Symptoms: Most people notice no symptoms until vision loss has already occurred.
- Why it matters: If untreated, glaucoma can lead to serious vision impairment.
- Who’s at risk: Anyone over 60 or with a family history of glaucoma should have annual exams.
Cataract Management
Cataracts are a natural part of aging and occur when the eye’s lens becomes cloudy, making vision appear blurred, dim, or yellowed. While not technically a disease, cataracts can significantly impact quality of life.
- Pre-surgery care: We often recommend dry eye therapy like LipiFlow or radiofrequency before surgery to support optimal healing and comfort.
- Symptoms: Blurry vision, glare sensitivity, faded colours, or difficulty seeing at night.
- Treatment: Cataract surgery is a safe, common procedure that replaces the cloudy lens with a clear artificial one (IOL).
Age-Related Macular
Degeneration (AMD)
AMD affects the macula, the central part of the retina responsible for sharp, detailed vision. This progressive condition comes in 2 forms: dry (more common) and wet (more severe).
- Treatment: While there’s no cure, we offer monitoring and management to slow progression and support your lifestyle.
- Symptoms: Difficulty with central vision, straight lines appearing wavy, or needing brighter light to read.
- Who’s at risk: Adults over 55, especially those with a family history or smoking history.
Diabetic
Retinopathy
A complication of Diabetes, diabetic retinopathy damages the blood vessels in the retina, potentially leading to vision loss if not treated in time.
- Symptoms: Often, there are no early symptoms. Later stages may involve floaters, blurry vision, or dark spots.
- Prevention: Well-managed blood sugar and regular eye exams are key to preventing vision loss.
Conjunctivitis (Pink Eye)
Conjunctivitis is an inflammation of the conjunctiva, the clear tissue covering the white of the eye and inside of the eyelid. It can be caused by infections (bacterial or viral), allergies, or irritants.
- Symptoms: Redness, itchiness, tearing, discharge, or a gritty feeling in the eye.
- Why it matters: While often mild, some types of conjunctivitis can spread easily or cause complications without treatment.
- Treatment: Your Optometrist can determine the cause and recommend the right treatment, which may include antibiotics, antihistamines, or soothing drops.
Keratoconus
Keratoconus is a progressive corneal condition where the normally round cornea thins and bulges outward into a cone shape. This distortion leads to blurry, distorted vision that glasses often cannot correct.
- Symptoms: Increasing nearsightedness or astigmatism, glare, halos, or frequent changes in prescriptions.
- Why it matters: Left untreated, keratoconus can significantly impact vision and may require surgery in advanced stages.
- Treatment: We offer specialized contact lenses, including scleral lenses, and may refer for corneal crosslinking to help slow or stop progression.
