Ophthalmology and Patient Care Approach
Comprehensive ophthalmology involves more than checking whether someone needs new glasses. Eye examinations can help identify changes in the lens, retina, optic nerve, eye pressure, and other structures before noticeable vision loss becomes severe.
For cataracts, Dr. Park evaluates how clouding of the natural lens affects daily activities and whether surgery is appropriate. Cataract surgery generally involves replacing the cloudy lens with an artificial intraocular lens.
Glaucoma care may involve monitoring eye pressure and the optic nerve, prescription eye drops, or laser treatment depending on the type and severity of disease.
Patients with diabetes may also need regular retinal examinations because diabetes can affect small blood vessels in the eye. The National Eye Institute explains how diabetic retinopathy can develop and why ongoing eye monitoring matters.
