Eye Disease Diagnosis & Management in Loveland

Proactive Disease Diagnosis

There are hundreds of eye diseases that we already know about. You may be lucky enough to avoid them all, but for many people, it’s a question of when, not if, they experience an eye disease. The single greatest preventative weapon is early diagnosis. And this is most easily accomplished with regular visits to our clinic.

Once an eye disease has been identified and diagnosed, it becomes infinitely easier to manage. Protecting your vision is our main objective at 2020 EyeCare, but we need a little bit of cooperation from you. Annual eye exams keep us informed about changes in your eyes and let us lower your eye health risks.

Understanding & Managing AMD

Right in the center of the retina, you will find the macula, a part of the eye responsible for central vision. This essential piece of the ocular system can begin to break down after the age of 55. This eye condition is known as age-related macular degeneration (AMD).

Blurred vision and central black spots are common symptoms of AMD once the condition is established. These vision deficiencies are irreversible. Our comprehensive eye exams view the macula and observe any irregularities that could be the first sign of AMD. If AMD is occurring, the best answer is the trained eye of an optometrist at our practice.

When left untreated, this disease can develop into the much more serious Wet AMD, resulting in rapid vision loss. Wearing sunglasses and visiting our practice regularly are the best steps for prevention.
