Macular degeneration is the number one leading cause of blindness in patients over 60. This condition may cause blind spots, visual distortion, and decreased color vision. If you suspect that you or a family member may have macular degeneration, please contact Cataract & Eye Consultants of Michigan as soon as possible. One of our ophthalmologists will dilate the eyes and inspect the retina to make a final diagnosis.

Glaucoma is a group of eye diseases that causes a gradual loss of vision without warning and most often without symptoms. Vision loss from glaucoma is caused by damage to the optic nerve. The damage occurs when the pressure within the eye increases due to a build-up of fluid inside the eye. If the disease remains untreated, the optic nerve could be damaged to the point that irreversible blindness will result. Our qualified glaucoma doctors will diagnose and set a proper treatment option. Call Cataract & Eye Consultants of Michigan today for more information on how we can help with your glaucoma.
