Each visit includes time to review your history, changes in your general health, and any new visual concerns, so that your care reflects the complete picture of what is happening with your eyes and your body.
Eye disease management here is not a brief screening added to a basic exam. It is thoughtful, ongoing care that tracks minor changes over time and adjusts treatment before problems become more difficult to manage.
Eye Diseases We Commonly Manage
Some patients arrive with an established diagnosis, while others learn about a condition for the first time during a comprehensive eye exam. In every case, the goal is to help you understand your risks, your options, and the reasoning behind each recommendation.
Glaucoma & Ocular Hypertension
Glaucoma develops when pressure-related or structural changes damage the optic nerve. Because early stages often have no symptoms, regular monitoring with imaging and visual field testing is essential to protecting long-term vision.
Diabetic Eye Disease & Diabetic Retinopathy
Diabetes can affect the tiny blood vessels in the retina, leading to swelling, bleeding, or vision changes. Careful monitoring and timely treatment help prevent complications and preserve visual function.
Macular Changes & Early Macular Degeneration
The macula is responsible for central, detailed vision. Age-related changes can affect reading, driving, and daily tasks. Early identification allows for lifestyle guidance, monitoring, and management to support long-term visual clarity.
Keratoconus & Other Irregular Corneas
Keratoconus causes thinning and steepening of the cornea, leading to distorted or unstable vision. Advanced corneal imaging and specialty contact lenses, such as scleral lenses, often provide clearer, more comfortable vision than glasses alone.
Ocular Surface Disease & Chronic Dry Eye
Dry eye and ocular surface inflammation can cause burning, redness, fluctuating vision, and discomfort. Treatment focuses on improving tear quality, reducing inflammation, and restoring comfort for daily activities.
Autoimmune-Related Eye Conditions
Autoimmune diseases can affect tear production, inflammation, and the health of the ocular surface and deeper eye structures. Regular monitoring helps identify changes early and adjust treatment as needed.
Medication-Related Eye Changes
Certain systemic medications can affect the eyes, including the retina, optic nerve, and ocular surface. Ongoing eye exams help detect these changes early and guide safe, coordinated care with your prescribing provider.
We Work with Your Other Health Care Providers
Many eye diseases are linked to systemic health. Diabetes, high blood pressure, autoimmune disorders, and certain medications can all affect the eyes.
When needed, Dr. Keaton communicates with your primary care physician or other specialists to share findings and coordinate care.
This connection ensures that what is seen in the eyes is considered alongside the rest of your health, and that your medical team has the information required to support you.
