Common Eye Diseases We Treat
The Fort Lauderdale Eye Institute provides comprehensive diagnosis and treatment for a wide range of eye diseases and conditions using advanced technology and modern surgical techniques.
Cataracts occur when the natural lens of the eye becomes cloudy, causing blurry vision, glare, faded colors, and difficulty seeing at night. Cataracts are one of the most common age-related eye conditions and can significantly impact daily activities if left untreated. We offer advanced cataract surgery with premium lens implant options designed to improve vision and reduce dependence on glasses.
Glaucoma is often called the “silent thief of sight” because it can gradually damage the optic nerve without early warning signs. If left untreated, glaucoma can lead to permanent vision loss.
We use advanced diagnostic imaging and treatment technologies to detect glaucoma early and help preserve your long-term vision.
Dry eye disease occurs when the eyes do not produce enough tears or when tears evaporate too quickly. This common condition can cause irritation, redness, burning, fluctuating vision, and discomfort during screen use or reading.
Our team provides personalized dry eye evaluations and treatment plans to help restore comfort and improve eye health.
The retina is responsible for capturing visual information and sending it to the brain. Conditions affecting the retina can threaten vision if not treated promptly.
Our retina specialists diagnose and treat complex retinal diseases using advanced imaging, injections, laser procedures, and surgical treatments.
Retinal conditions we treat include:
- Diabetic retinopathy
- Macular degeneration
- Retinal tears and detachments
- Macular pucker
- Vitreous disorders
Oculoplastic surgery is a subspecialty of ophthalmology focusing on eyelid, orbital, lacrimal, and facial cosmetic and reconstructive surgery. Working in this field requires a firm understanding of the delicate anatomy of the eyelid, eyebrows, eye socket, lacrimal system, midface, and the eye.
These procedures can improve both vision function and overall appearance while supporting long-term eye health. Our oculoplastic surgeons provide advanced surgical and non-surgical treatments tailored to each patient’s needs.
Diabetes can affect the tiny blood vessels in the retina, leading to diabetic retinopathy and other vision-threatening complications. Early detection through routine diabetic eye exams is critical to protecting vision.
Patients with diabetes should schedule regular comprehensive eye exams even if their vision seems normal.
