Many people over the age of 40 years old are currently living with an eye disease. Eye diseases can be incredibly difficult to manage without professional help from an optometrist. If you or a loved one have been suffering with an eye disease, it's important to get the right eye disease management as soon as possible. This is especially true if you have been suffering from worsening vision or vision loss.

At ClearView Eyecare in Bellingham, WA, we make it our mission to help residents of Northern Washington get the help they need to treat their eye disease. Our high-quality eye disease management services can help minimize the risks of serious eye diseases and help you see clearly again!

What Is an Eye Disease?

An eye disease is a type of disorder that impacts your ability to see clearly or causes vision loss. There are many different eye diseases that carry a wide range of symptoms. Some of the most common include:

• Glaucoma: This disease causes halos and vision loss. It is a disease caused by the destruction of the optic nerve, and damage is permanent.
• Cataracts: This disease involves a build-up of a cloudy film around the lens of the eye.
• Dry eyes: When your eye is unable to produce enough lubrication, this is known as dry eye disease, and it can also be debilitating, leading to discomfort.
• Keratoconus: This is an eye disease that involves a protein build-up around the lens of the eye, making it difficult to wear regular contact lenses. 

How Can an Optometrist on Our Team Help?

It's important to know that while some diseases cannot be prevented or cured, they can be effectively treated with the right eye disease management. An optometrist on our team will be able to help determine what is the best course of treatment for your eye disease.

She will conduct a vision exam and eye exam to determine the extent of your eye disease and prescribe the right medication and possibly surgery to treat your symptoms. It's important to visit an eye doctor if you have an eye disease at least once if not twice a year.
