Eye Disease Management in Santa Monica

Many serious eye diseases begin without symptoms. Regular exams and careful imaging let our doctors find changes early, when treatment has the best chance of preserving your vision.

Many eye conditions also connect to your overall health, so we look at your eyes in the context of your whole body and communicate with your other doctors when it helps.

Glaucoma damages the optic nerve, often gradually and painlessly, beginning with side vision. Our doctors are certified to diagnose and treat glaucoma. We measure eye pressure, evaluate the optic nerve, and track changes over time, and we can prescribe medicated drops to protect your vision. When laser or surgical treatment is needed, we coordinate with glaucoma specialists.

Age-related macular degeneration affects the macula, the part of the retina responsible for sharp central vision. We monitor the macula closely, advise on nutrition, sun protection and lifestyle, and refer promptly to retina specialists if the condition progresses to a form that needs injection treatment.

Diabetes can damage the small blood vessels of the retina. An annual dilated exam is one of the most important things a person with diabetes can do for their sight. We document the health of your retina, share findings with your primary care doctor, and coordinate care if treatment is needed.

Our doctors also manage cataracts, amblyopia, blepharitis, dry eye, conjunctivitis, styes and ocular allergies, among many others.
