Methods for Diagnosing Eye Conditions: Screenings by Our Eye Doctors
Accurate diagnosis is the foundation of effective eye care. At ADMC, our renowned eye specialists employ cutting-edge diagnostic tools to detect various eye conditions early. Techniques like retinal imaging provide detailed visuals of the retina, while visual field tests assess functional peripheral vision. Corneal topography is another advanced tool we use to map the cornea’s surface, helping diagnose conditions like keratoconus. These methods ensure precise evaluations, paving the way for tailored treatment plans.

Common Eye Conditions and Symptoms: When to See an Eye Specialist
Understanding your eye health begins with knowing the signs of common conditions. Here are some common eye conditions and their symptoms:
Refractive Errors
- Myopia (Nearsightedness): Difficulty seeing distant objects clearly.
- Hyperopia (Farsightedness): Difficulty seeing close objects clearly.
- Astigmatism: Blurred vision at all distances due to an irregularly shaped cornea.
- Presbyopia: Age-related loss of near vision, making it difficult to read small print.
Cataract
Clouding of the lens of the eye, causing hazy vision and light sensitivity.
Glaucoma
Damage to the optic nerve, often due to increased pressure in the eye, which can lead to vision loss.
Keratoconus
Thinning of the cornea and irregularities of the cornea's surface, resulting in distortion of vision.
Macular Degeneration
Damage to the macula, the central part of the retina, leading to central vision loss.
Diabetic Retinopathy
Damage to the blood vessels in the retina caused by diabetes.
Dry Eye Syndrome
Reduced tear production or poor tear quality, leading to dry, irritated eyes.
Uveitis
Inflammation of the uvea, the middle layer of the eye.
Stye
A painful, red bump on the eyelid caused by a blocked oil gland.
Chalazion
A painless, swollen bump on the eyelid caused by a blocked oil gland.
Conjunctivitis (Pink Eye)
Inflammation of the conjunctiva, the clear membrane covering the white part of the eye and the inside of the eyelids.
If you experience any of these symptoms, seeking help from an experienced ophthalmologist is essential to prevent complications.
