Regular eye exams can be your early warning system for many common eye diseases, but if you’re diagnosed with one, you’ll need expert professional care. Your local Total Vision practice can identify the signs of eye disease, provide an accurate diagnosis, and recommend an effective plan to treat or manage the problem.
Early diagnosis can significantly reduce the risk of vision loss from many eye diseases. Your Total Vision optometrist has the experience and advanced diagnostic technology to catch the early signs of common eye diseases long before their symptoms become obvious.
Once your eye doctor has diagnosed you with an eye disease, they can recommend treating it and controlling its effects. Our eye doctors have the knowledge and resources to deal with a wide variety of eye diseases and conditions.
Diabetic retinopathy is a common diabetic complication that damages the blood vessels in your retina. It can cause permanent vision loss, and should be carefully managed.

Glaucoma is a progressive eye disease that affects the optic nerve. This disease normally results from high pressure inside the eye, although it can have other causes. Glaucoma is the second most common cause of blindness in the world and leads to total blindness when left unmanaged.

Using leading-edge diagnostic technology, your Total Vision eye doctor can detect early signs of glaucoma before it affects your vision and can recommend ways to slow it down.
Conjunctivitis is also known as “pink eye” since it often turns the whites of the eye pink or red. Conjunctivitis occurs when the normally transparent membrane that protects and lubricates your eye becomes inflamed.
