With advanced diagnostic technology and thoughtful follow-up care, we can keep a close watch on your eye health and help you understand what comes next.
Medical Eye Care For Delaware Residents
Medical Care & Disease Management
Medical eye care focuses on the health of your eyes rather than simply determining your glasses or contact lens prescription. It may involve evaluating a new concern, monitoring a diagnosed eye condition, or following changes that could affect your vision.
Our Delaware eye doctor provides ongoing ocular disease management with care tailored to your diagnosis, health history, and individual risk factors. Regular monitoring also gives us the opportunity to compare findings over time.
Eye Diseases We Manage
Some eye conditions require more than a single exam. We provide ongoing care for diabetic eye disease, glaucoma, and macular degeneration, using advanced testing and personalized follow-up to monitor your eye health over time.
Diabetic Eye Disease
Diabetes can cause changes inside the eyes, including damage to the blood vessels of the retina. Regular evaluation helps Dr. Cline monitor your retinal health.
Glaucoma Management
Glaucoma affects the optic nerve and can develop without noticeable symptoms in its early stages. Dr. Cline monitors your optic nerve, vision, and other important changes.
Macular Degeneration Management
Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) affects the macula, the part of the retina responsible for detailed central vision. Ongoing monitoring allows us to follow changes in your retinal health and coordinate additional specialist care.
Technology for Eye Disease Monitoring
Monitoring an eye condition means looking for changes that may happen gradually over time. Dr. Cline uses advanced diagnostic technology to gather detailed information about the structures and function of your eyes. Our medical eye care technology includes:
- Optical coherence tomography (OCT) to create detailed images of structures within the retina and optic nerve.
- Visual field testing to evaluate areas of central and peripheral vision.
- Retinal photography to document the retina's appearance and help us compare changes over time.
When Do You Need an Ophthalmologist?
Optometrists can diagnose, monitor, and manage many eye conditions, but some situations require care from an ophthalmologist, retinal specialist, or eye surgeon.
The Eye Care Studio does not provide surgical or retinal specialist-level treatment. When your condition requires that level of care, Dr. Cline can refer you to an appropriate specialist and help support your ongoing care.
