Did you know
many diseases can be discovered through a carefully planned eye exam?
Our diagnostic equipment allows our comprehensive eye exams to
detect even the smallest changes in your vision and eye health, which
helps us ascertain your risk factors for debilitating eye diseases and

Floaters & Flashes |
|
As we get older we expect to
have problems with our eyes, so we tend to ignore
them.
One minor symptom that can cause a bigger problem, if not treated, is the occurrence of floaters and flashes. These
are
those tiny lights that seem to blink through your vision and
that you can never catch when you direct your focus toward
them.
|
|
|
Almost everyone sees floaters at some time, but they can occur more
frequently and become more noticeable as we get older.
Floaters caused by posterior vitreous detachment are more common in
people who:
•
Are nearsighted
•
Have undergone cataract surgery
•
Have had certain types of laser surgery
•
Have had inflammation of the eye
Because floaters or flashes can be an indication of a serious
problem, you should contact our doctor when:
•
You see floaters for the first time
•
You notice an increase in the number or size of floaters
•
You experience the sudden onset of flashes
In most cases no serious problems are found, but a complete eye
examination is important. If there is damage to the retina, it needs
to be diagnosed and treated immediately to prevent vision loss.
