Primary eye care is the first line of defense in maintaining good vision and overall eye health. At Skowron Eye Care, our dedicated team provides comprehensive services to diagnose, manage, and treat a variety of common eye conditions.

The Importance of Routine Eye Exams

Many eye conditions are asymptomatic in their early stages, making regular eye exams essential for early detection and treatment. We are committed to providing comprehensive, personalized care to protect and preserve your vision. Here’s a closer look at some of the most frequently encountered eye issues and how primary eye care can help.

Refractive Errors

Conditions such as nearsightedness (myopia), farsightedness (hyperopia), astigmatism, and presbyopia affect how light is focused on the retina, leading to blurred vision. We provide precise prescriptions for glasses and contact lenses and offer LASIK consultations.

Eye Infections

From bacterial and viral conjunctivitis to more severe infections like keratitis, eye infections can cause discomfort and vision problems if left untreated. We accurately diagnose infections and prescribe appropriate treatments, including antibiotics, antiviral medications, or anti-inflammatory drops.

Computer Vision Syndrome (CVS)

Prolonged screen time can cause digital eye strain, leading to symptoms like eye fatigue, headaches, and blurred vision. We recommend personalized solutions, such as blue light-blocking glasses, computer-friendly lenses, and tips to reduce screen strain.

Dry Eye Syndrome

Dry eye syndrome occurs when your eyes do not produce enough tears or when the tears evaporate too quickly. Symptoms include redness, irritation, a gritty sensation, and blurry vision.
Treatment options range from artificial tears and medicated eye drops to specialty contacts like scleral lenses.

Allergic Conjunctivitis

Allergic conjunctivitis is caused by allergens like pollen, dust, or pet dander, leading to itchy, watery, and red eyes. Our team can recommend antihistamine eye drops, oral medications, or other treatments to reduce inflammation and alleviate symptoms.

Glaucoma

Known as the "silent thief of sight," glaucoma is an eye condition characterized by increased pressure within the eye that can damage the optic nerve. It often develops without noticeable symptoms until vision loss occurs. Regular eye exams can detect glaucoma early. We provide ongoing monitoring and treatments like prescription eye drops, laser therapy, or referrals for surgical interventions.

Cataracts

Cataracts are a clouding of the eye's natural lens, leading to blurry vision, glare sensitivity, and difficulty seeing at night. They commonly develop with age. We offer comprehensive cataract evaluations and can recommend the appropriate timing for surgery, as well as post-surgical care.

Macular Degeneration

Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) affects the central portion of the retina, leading to a loss of central vision. Our team provides regular screenings, nutritional guidance, and advanced imaging to monitor and manage this condition.
