The most common questions
The frequency depends on age, medical history, and whether there is any pre-existing eye disease. In general, periodic eye examinations are recommended even if there are no symptoms, in order to detect changes early. In patients with diabetes, glaucoma, family history, or visual symptoms, checkups may be needed more frequently.
Glaucoma is a disease that progressively damages the optic nerve and can irreversibly affect vision if not detected in time. In many cases, it is related to elevated intraocular pressure, although it can present in different ways. It has no cure, but with timely diagnosis and proper treatment, it can be controlled to reduce the risk of vision loss.
Cataracts usually present with blurry vision, glare, light sensitivity, difficulty seeing at night, or frequent changes in prescription. In some cases, they progress gradually, so the patient may not notice them at first. The correct way to confirm them is through a complete ophthalmic evaluation.
Cataract surgery is one of the most commonly performed ophthalmic procedures and, in expert hands, is usually very safe. Like any medical procedure, it requires a prior evaluation to determine the right timing, assess the condition of each eye, and choose the best intraocular lens option. Precise diagnosis and proper follow-up are a fundamental part of the process.
It depends on each patient’s characteristics, the type of intraocular lens selected, and each case’s visual needs. Some people significantly reduce their dependence on glasses, while others may still need them for certain activities. This is defined after an individual evaluation and a clear explanation of the available options.
It is important to seek immediate care if you experience intense eye pain, sudden vision loss, flashes, new floaters or spots, severe redness, trauma, foreign bodies in the eye, or any sudden visual change. Timely care can be key to preventing complications and protecting vision.
Excellent care. She explained everything to me in great detail and with a lot of clarity. I went in after receiving a blow to my right eye to make sure it was nothing serious, and at all times she provided very professional and kind care. 10/10.
