Common Eye Conditions

When you visit the Eye Doctors of Arizona for problems with your vision, we may identify a specific condition. The common conditions that may develop include:

  • Eye strain
  • Night blindness
  • Color blindness
  • Red eyes
  • Lazy eyes
  • Crossed eyes
  • Dry eyes
  • Nearsightedness
  • Farsightedness
  • Cataracts
  • Glaucoma
  • Pinkeye

A variety of conditions may develop over your life. In some cases, you address the problem and allow the eyes to heal. In other situations, you slow the progression of a condition.

Symptoms of Common Conditions in the Eyes

The symptoms of an eye condition depend on the specific condition. Since the specific details may vary between eye conditions, you should discuss your symptoms with a professional at the Eye Doctors of Arizona for an accurate diagnosis.

Common symptoms that raise concerns about your eyes include:

  • Redness
  • Excessive tearing
  • Changes to your vision
  • Dizziness
  • Blurry vision
  • Pain in your eyes
  • Itchiness in the eyes
  • Burning sensations in the eyes
  • Halos around objects

Always seek immediate care if you notice pain in your eyes. Since pain may suggest a severe concern, you want to seek treatment to identify and address the cause of your discomfort.

Diagnosing an Eye Condition

An eye doctor diagnoses a condition by evaluating the symptoms and looking at your eyes. After you identify your symptoms, a professional uses different tools and examinations to further clarify the underlying problems. We may look into your eyes or use different tests to determine the pressure in your eyes. In many cases, we also dilate your pupils for further tests and examinations.

Treatment Options for an Eye Condition

Treating an eye condition depends on the underlying problem. In many cases, we recommend adjustments to your normal activities. For example, if you have dry eyes due to limited moisture in your home, then we may suggest using a humidifier to address the problem.

When lifestyle factors will not improve your eye health, we may suggest medications. The medications depend on the situation and your eyes. For example, we may suggest medicated eye drops for certain conditions or an oral medication for other conditions.

The final treatments are usually surgical options. Surgery focuses on addressing the problem or removing a problem. The specific options depend on the condition and the impact on your vision.

Treatments from an Ophthalmologist in Phoenix, AZ

Treatments from an ophthalmologist in Phoenix, AZ for an eye condition depend on the specific problem. We may suggest laser surgery for problems with your vision that stem from nearsightedness, farsightedness or similar complications. In the case of problems with dry eyes that do not relate to your environment, we may suggest surgical procedures to increase the tear production or help your eyes properly drain the tears.

Surgical procedures assist with healing from conditions like glaucoma or cataracts. You may benefit from a lens replacement in your eyes or from procedures to reduce the pressure in your eyes. The specific surgical procedures depend on your situation and the conditions.

Eye conditions impact your vision and the health of your eyes. When you have concerns due to discomfort in your eyes, problems with your vision or sudden changes to your vision, you want to seek treatment from a professional.

Testimonials

Reviews From Our Satisfied Patients

I recommend Eye Doctors of Arizona. The entire staff is always happy, pleasant, and helpful. Dr. Heller is wonderful... always thorough, and accurate. An excellent doctor. I was fortunate to meet his second son, Ben, who will be joining the practice soon. Now with their two offices, it is even more convenient to book appointments.
