"Many
ocular and systemic conditions are often detected for the first time during
an eye examination and frequently in patients who are symptom-free."
"Open-angle
glaucoma, which is a leading cause of blindness, is well-known to have
no symptoms in its early stages."

"Early
detection will typically result in a significant improvement in the treatment
and management of such conditions."

"We
also offer emergency assessments and minor exams for abnormal eye conditions
or symptoms." |
Ocular
Disease Management
At the Mission Eye
Clinic, our doctors have extensive training and experience
in the management of ocular disease. In addition to the complete
ocular health assessment you receive as part of your full optometric
eye examination, we also offer emergency assessments and minor exams
for abnormal eye conditions or symptoms (for example: red eyes/infections/inflammations,
acute eye pain, sudden loss or decrease of vision, loss of peripheral
vision, new flashing lights or floating spots, etc.). As optometrists,
we are able to manage, co-manage, and if required make the appropriate
referrals for all ocular conditions.
