Ivy Hills Eyecare’ Expert Approach to Eye Conditions Treatment

With a skilled eye doctor and team, we strive to uncover the root causes of your eye condition, enabling us to design tailored treatment plans that provide lasting relief.

Eye Conditions We Treat:

Astigmatism
In addition to the usual refractive errors (myopia and hyperopia), we also treat astigmatism, which causes challenges with vision due to an irregular curvature of the cornea or lens. Our eye doctor uses advanced diagnostic equipment such as the Ultra M3 to precisely measure the degree and axis of astigmatism, which allows him to tailor his treatment approach to your unique visual needs.

Depending on the severity of your condition, we may recommend corrective lenses such as glasses or toric contact lenses, each crafted to counteract the irregularities in your eye's shape. Additionally, for individuals seeking a more permanent solution, refractive surgeries like LASIK may be explored as an option.

Dry Eye
Dry eye syndrome can cast a shadow over your daily life, causing discomfort, irritation, and even affecting your overall quality of vision. It’s caused by a lack of tear production or poor quality tears, and only a comprehensive approach to dry eye management can provide long-term relief.

We begin with an evaluation to identify the underlying causes contributing to your dry eye, including meibomian gland dysfunction, environmental factors, lifestyle habits, your medical history, and more. By understanding the root causes, we can implement targeted strategies that not only alleviate symptoms but also promote improved tear production and eye lubrication.

Optilight by Lumenis, IPL therapy, iLux® and artificial tears are some of the effective dry eye treatments we offer.

Presbyopia
Presbyopia is a natural age-related vision change that gradually reduces the eye's ability to focus on close objects, leading to challenges with tasks like reading and using digital devices. Many adults wear reading glasses to see up close, but these glasses don’t correct distance vision, which means switching between reading and prescription glasses for various distances.

Our approach to managing presbyopia begins with a comprehensive assessment of your visual needs and lifestyle. We also offer a range of options, including bifocal, multifocal and progressive eyeglasses and contact lenses. These innovative solutions allow your eyes to transition effortlessly between near and distance vision without reading glasses or switching between two pairs of glasses.
