Optometrists can detect diseases such as diabetes, hypertension, glaucoma, macular degeneration, and more by examining the back of the retina.

A. Common cataracts are natural changes within the crystalline lens. Over time, the clear lens material breaks down, causing discoloration and cloudy vision. Your optometrist will track these changes and refer you to a surgeon to have your cataracts removed if necessary.

A. Astigmatism is a common condition caused by a non-spherical-shaped cornea or lens.
