Eyes are complex yet delicate organs that allow us to take in an amazing amount of information and beauty from the world around us. For most, it is easy to take eyesight for granted until something goes wrong with the eyes. When this occurs, good, professional medical attention is important.
Oakland Eye clinic offers eye examinations, treatments and surgery for the eye under the expert care of Dr. Roxana Hakimzadeh. Here are examples of services provided by Oakland Eye Clinic.
Eye Examinations and Treatments
Eye examinations are an important part of basic health care. These examinations can detect problems early so you can receive the proper treatment. Complete eye exams can spot disorders such as glaucoma, retinopathy, cataracts, dry eye and other issues that cause discomfort or interfere with vision. Some disorders, such as diabetic retinopathy and glaucoma, can cause blindness if left untreated.
Retinopathy is often treated with laser surgery. Glaucoma is treated with pills, eye drops or surgery.
Surgery for the Eye
There are different kinds of eye surgeries. Laser surgery is preferred for many eye surgeries because of a laser’s ability to treat very small areas without damaging nearby tissue. Cataracts, myopia (nearsightedness), hyperopia (farsightedness) and astigmatism are some common eye problems that may be cured or helped by surgery for the eye.
If your eye condition requires surgery, you will be advised on any risks associated with the procedure as well as what you can expect before, during and after the procedure. At Oakland eye clinic, you will speak with Dr. Hakimzadeh directly and may ask any questions you wish to about your eyes and your upcoming appointments. Here are the primary surgeries performed at the clinic.
LASIK Surgery
Lasik surgery corrects defects in the eye’s cornea and improves vision in many patients with astigmatism, myopia or hyperopia. A special laser is used on the eye during this procedure. Before undergoing Lasik surgery, you will undergo an eye exam and have a special consultation with the doctor to determine if you are a suitable LASIK candidate.
Cataract Surgery
Cataracts cause blurred vision. Fortunately, cataracts can be cured by removing the cataract and replacing it with a new lens. Most patients who undergo cataract surgery in Detroit with Dr. Hakimzadeh experience amazing results.
