Overcoming Eye Infections through Expert Care
Eye infections can be uncomfortable and potentially threaten vision if not treated promptly. Symptoms such as redness, pain, discharge, and vision changes should not be ignored.
We diagnose and treat various eye infections, from conjunctivitis (pink eye) to more severe bacterial, viral, or fungal infections. Treatment may include prescription eye drops, ointments, or oral medications designed to quickly combat infection, alleviate symptoms, and prevent further complications.
Healing Corneal Abrasions: Your Path to Recovery
A corneal abrasion occurs when the cornea, the eye's clear front surface, gets scratched. This common eye injury can result from contact with dust, sand, wood shavings, metal particles, or even contact lenses. Symptoms include significant discomfort, redness, watering, sensitivity to light, and a feeling of having something in your eye.
We provide eye exams to assess the extent of the abrasion and offer effective treatments to heal the cornea and relieve pain. Treatment options may include antibiotic or lubricating eye drops and, in some cases, a unique contact lens that acts as a bandage to protect the cornea during healing.
Foreign Body Removal: Restoring Your Eye's Health
If not removed promptly, foreign bodies in the eye, such as metal or glass particles, can cause severe discomfort and potentially lead to infections or other serious complications.
We’re equipped with advanced tools and techniques for safely and effectively removing foreign bodies from the eye. Following removal, we administer the appropriate treatment to prevent infection and promote healing, ensuring that your eye recovers fully without lasting damage.
