Ocular Disease Management

Ocular disease management is the medical diagnosis and treatment of eye disease.

Commonly treated diagnoses include: glaucoma, ocular allergies, conjunctivitis (pink eye) and dry eye syndrome.

Our docotors also monitor diabetic retinopathy and macular degeneration.  We will communicate our results with the patient's primary medical doctor, and refer to retinal specialists if intervention is indicated.

Although our optometrists  do not perform surgery, we do co-manage in surgical cases such as cataract removal and Lasik vision correction. We can perform some of the pre-operative and post-operative care to reduce the number of your visits to the surgeon. This is done as a service to the patient to maintain continuity of care. Our doctors keep an open line of communication with area ophthalmologists to provide best care for our patients.

Our doctors also monitor ocular conditions that may arise from high risk medications such as plaquenil therapy. These patients receive dilated eye examinations and visual fields every six months and results are shared with the prescribing physician.

Some systemic conditions, such as multiple sclerosis and diabetes, can cause accompanying eye disease. Our doctors routinely examine these high-risk patients for early signs of eye disease to provides prompt treatment.

The doctors at Sepich Eye Care utilize advanced technology, such as Optical Coherence Tomography, to assist with diagnosis, evaluation, and treatment of eye disease.
