At North Texas Eye Care, we do more than update your glasses; we help protect your long-term vision and eye health. Whether you’re managing a disease like glaucoma or noticing changes in how your eyes feel or see, we’re here to help. With decades of experience and the latest diagnostic technology, our team focuses on early detection, proactive care, and ensuring you always feel supported.
The Importance of Early Disease Detection
Many severe eye diseases begin quietly, with no pain or obvious symptoms. By the time your vision starts to change, damage may already be underway. That’s why we take our time during your exam and screen carefully for early signs to catch issues before they become problems.
Conditions like glaucoma, diabetic eye disease, and macular degeneration can be managed successfully when they’re found early. And when caught soon enough, cataracts can be treated before they interfere with your life.
Eye Diseases We Screen For
During your comprehensive eye exam, Dr. Gregory Kloesel closely looks for signs of common eye diseases, even the ones that show no early symptoms.
- Cataracts: The eye’s natural lens changes with age, causing cloudy or blurry vision. If we notice signs of cataracts, we’ll monitor them and refer you for surgery when the time is right.
- Diabetic Eye Disease: Diabetes can affect the blood vessels in your eyes and lead to vision loss if left unchecked. We screen for diabetic retinopathy and other diabetes-related changes.
- Glaucoma: Often called “the silent thief of sight,” glaucoma affects the optic nerve and can lead to permanent vision loss. Learn more.
- Age-Related Macular Degeneration: This age-related condition affects the center of your vision, making it harder to read, drive, or recognize faces. We screen for early signs and offer ongoing monitoring to preserve your independence
Management Beyond the Diagnosis
If we discover a problem, you’re in good hands. We’ll explain everything in simple terms and develop a care plan for your eyes and lifestyle.
In some cases, we’ll co-manage care with a trusted specialist, like for cataract surgery or advanced glaucoma treatment. In others, we’ll provide ongoing treatment. From prescription eye drops to advanced imaging, we’re equipped to manage a wide range of conditions.
Eye Condition Treatment
Not all eye concerns are classified as “diseases,” but they can still impact your comfort, clarity, and life. We diagnose and treat various common eye conditions, including:
-
Astigmatism: This occurs when the cornea isn’t perfectly round, causing blurry or distorted vision. It’s easily managed with glasses, contacts, or specialty lenses.
-
Presbyopia: If you’re over 40 and struggling to read up close, you may be experiencing presbyopia. We offer solutions like progressive lenses and multifocal contacts.
-
Myopia (Nearsightedness): We monitor and manage myopia, especially in children and teens, to help slow its progression and support lifelong eye health.
-
Dry Eye: Dry, irritated, or watery eyes? You’re not alone. We identify the underlying cause and offer personalized treatments. Learn more.
