Most if not all clinicians offer virtual telemedicine visits to all patients. Virtual visits are a great way to receive an evaluation for all minor injury or illness or prescription refills.

Visual impairment increases with getting older. It is caused by age related macular degeneration, cataracts, glaucoma, and diabetic retinopathy. There are preventative measures you can take to keep up with the health of your vision including healthy life-style choices such as not smoking, limiting alcohol, and living an active lifestyle with a diet rich in fruits and vegetables. White females are also at the highest risk for age related macular degeneration.

Older African Americans are most likely to be afflicted with glaucoma, although it can affect anyone, typically over 40. Your orbitals is like a water tank; new fluid is pushed into the orbital while older fluid is removed. When the ducts that are responsible for removal of fluid is clogged, blocked, or overall damaged the fluid cannot be removed and the orbital fills up with fluid causing pain and damaging the optic nerve. This added pressure results in blindness and cannot be reversed. There are several risk factors that make people more susceptible to glaucoma.

• Increased orbital pressure
• Nearsightedness (myopia)
• Farsightedness (Hyperopia)
• Growing older
• Diabetes
• Family history
• Injury to the orbitals
• Ethnic background

Glaucoma can also affect children, but it is much more common in older adults.

Types:

• POAG – primary open angle; it develops from an unknown cause
• PACG – primary angle Closure also developing from an unknown cause
• Secondary that develops due to a serious injury to the orbital, tumors, diabetes, or cataracts
• Developmental or congenital – it is a rare form of the disease and occurs in infants and children

Symptoms:

Open Angle version of the disease doesn’t always show symptoms which is why it’s important to get routine pressure checks. It develops slowly so pay attention to signs such as gradual loss of vision of the periphery usually in both sides and tunnel vision if the illness is advanced.

Signs of Angle Closure version of the disease could result in:

• Sensitivity to light
• Jerkiness and poor sight
• Watery and reddening orbitals
• Severe achiness
• Cloudiness
• Halos around lights
• Vomiting and nausea

Treatments include:

• Laser treatment which opens the blocked drainage tubes
• Surgery
• Drops which help to lower pressure

Age related macular degeneration also known as AMD. AMD is when the natural aging process begins to damage the part of the orbital that controls sharp, straight-ahead optics. The part that becomes damaged is called the macula which is part of the retina. AMD is the leading cause of sight loss. It doesn’t cause complete blindness, but it does make it hard to see faces, drive, close-up work, and read. Risk factors for AMD is having a family history, being Caucasian, and smoking. The only way to lower your risk is by aging in healthy way by making healthy lifestyle choices with physical activity and diet. Your doctor will dilate your pupils to look at the structures in the back of the optics to check for degeneration. If you are suffering from degeneration surgery and injections are the only way to treat it.

Yes. It is now believed that excess exposure to UV light can cause cataracts. The proteins found in your lenses are structures so perfectly that they transmit light so you can properly see. Exposure to sunlight causes oxidative stress on these proteins and causes them to clump together, giving you the cloudiness, you see in the lens when a person has cataracts. This clouding causes the light to scatter rather than transmit.
