Eye Disease Diagnosis and Management

Eye diseases can range from mild to severe and affect your eyes in many ways, some of which get progressively worse over time. Implementing an eye disease treatment or management plan can help, but early diagnosis is key.  

At Integrity Eye Care, we diagnose eye diseases of all kinds and offer eye disease management in Murfreesboro to help you continue to live your highest quality life.  

How Are Eye Diseases Diagnosed? 

The best way to diagnose eye problems and catch them early before they progress or worsen is through regular comprehensive eye exams. Our comprehensive exams include a series of different tests that analyze your overall eye health and help identify a variety of eye diseases, including glaucoma, dry eye, diabetic retinopathy, conjunctivitis, macular degeneration, and more. We may ask about your health history and family health history at your exam to determine your risk of developing eye disease at a later date.  

How Are Eye Diseases Treated and Prevented? 

Eye diseases and their respective treatments can vary widely. Some conditions may require only short-term care, while other eye conditions may be permanent and require a different treatment or management plan that occurs over a longer period.  

At Integrity Eye Care in Murfreesboro, we will discuss your treatment options if you are diagnosed with an eye disease. Our team will assist you in developing a treatment plan that targets your unique eye health needs. Follow-up appointments may also be recommended to monitor your eye disease and make adjustments to your treatment as needed. 

Eye Disease Management in Murfreesboro

Managing eye diseases can range from simple remedies to more advanced treatments, depending on the condition. For example, dry eye may be relieved with eye drops but often requires consistent, long-term care. On the other hand, pink eye may go away quickly with eye drops, while other conditions like glaucoma or cataracts may require surgery. In some cases, at-home remedies and lifestyle changes can help slow the progression of your condition. Our optometrist will let you know what options are available for you to try at home. 

No matter the disease, early intervention is often best when it comes to eye disease management. Early detection can play a big role in significantly slowing down the progression of the disease. People often experience few if any symptoms in the early stages of eye disease development, so it is important to regularly get your eyes checked by an eye doctor.
