Management of Eye Disease and Conditions

Ocular Diagnosis and Treatment in Muswellbrook

Addressing Dry Eye Symptoms for Improved Vision

Dry eye disease can significantly impact your daily life and vision. It involves inadequate lubrication and moisture on the eye's surface, often resulting in discomfort, irritation, and sometimes blurred vision. Factors contributing to dry eye range from environmental influences to screen usage and aging.

Our team assesses your eyes, providing tailored solutions to address the root cause of your discomfort. Whether through lifestyle adjustments, artificial tears, or more advanced treatments, we can help restore comfort and clarity to your vision.

Slowing Progression with Myopia Control Management

Myopia (shortsightedness) is a vision condition where people see objects close to the eye clearly, but objects farther away appear blurred. It occurs when the shape of the eye causes light rays to bend incorrectly, focusing images in front of the retina instead of on it.

Aaron Henry's myopia control management services can help to slow its progression and reduce the risk of developing eye conditions later in life. Our treatment options depend on the individuals specific needs and circumstances. Our team of Optometrists are here to assist you in selecting the most suitable treatment plan and to monitor your child's progress closely over time.

Proactive Glaucoma Detection and Management

Glaucoma, often called the "silent thief of sight," is a group of eye conditions that damage the optic nerve — the link between the eye and the brain. Left unchecked, it can lead to irreversible vision loss, often without warning signs.

Early detection through comprehensive eye tests is crucial. Our optometrists employ the latest diagnostic techniques to monitor your eye health closely. We tailor a treatment plan to your unique needs if glaucoma is detected. This may include medication, laser treatment, or surgery to preserve sight.

Comprehensive Management of Macular Degeneration

Macular degeneration is a condition where the retina's central portion — known as the macula — deteriorates over time. This part of your eye is crucial for sharp, detailed vision, and its impairment can affect activities like reading, driving, and recognising faces. Often associated with aging, macular degeneration can manifest in two forms — dry and wet — with varying degrees of severity.

Our approach to managing macular degeneration starts with comprehensive screenings, using advanced diagnostics to detect early signs of the disease. We tailor a plan that may include nutritional guidance, lifestyle modifications and, if necessary, coordination with specialists for advanced treatments.

Navigating Cataract Surgery with Seamless Co-Management

Cataracts occur when the eye's natural lens becomes clouded, leading to a gradual decline in vision. While the progression of cataracts is slow and subtle, its effect on vision is profound, ultimately necessitating surgery — the only definitive treatment to restore clarity.

Aaron Henry Optometry offers seamless co-management of cataract surgery, ensuring you receive comprehensive support from initial consultation to post-operative care.
