Our office now dispenses high definition digital eyeglasses, also known as free-form lenses. These lenses use computer-controlled surfacing equipment that is much more precise than conventional tools. The results are sharper image quality, better peripheral vision, and reduction of glare and halos for better night vision. There are a broad range of materials, lens styles and almost all eyeglass wearers are good candidates for digital lenses. Be sure to discuss these lenses with our experienced opticians.

High Prevalence of Diabetic Retinopathy

Diabetic retinopathy is a leading cause of legal blindness among adults ages 20 to 74 in the United States. A study published in JAMA (8/11) found that nearly 30 percent of people with diabetes over age 40 have diabetic retinopathy, with approximately 4 percent of this group experiencing vision-threatening disease. Additional risk factors include male sex, higher HbA1c levels, longer duration of diabetes, use of insulin, and higher systolic blood pressure.

If you have diabetes, it is important to have a comprehensive eye exam at least once per year, and more frequently if diabetic retinopathy is present. Regular eye evaluations play a key role in early detection and ongoing management of diabetic eye disease.

If you are in need of diabetic eye care in the Detroit Metropolitan area or Oakland County, please contact Rochester Eye Care at (248) 650-2255 to schedule an evaluation.

Glaucoma the Silent Thief of Sight

Glaucoma is a leading cause of preventable blindness. It’s estimated that millions of people have Glaucoma is a leading cause of preventable blindness. Millions of people are estimated to have glaucoma and may be unaware of it, as the condition often develops without pain or noticeable symptoms. Although glaucoma cannot be cured, it can often be detected early and effectively managed to help protect vision.

Rochester Eye Care offers a comfortable and efficient diagnostic test called the GDxVCC, which can help detect glaucoma before vision loss occurs. This test is quick and non-invasive, requiring patients to simply look into an instrument while focusing on a soft light. In less than one minute, the GDxVCC captures detailed images of the optic nerve and retina at the back of the eye.

The GDxVCC measures the thickness of the retinal nerve fiber layer, which is widely recognized as one of the most sensitive indicators for early glaucoma detection. This advanced technology allows for earlier identification of changes that may not yet be affecting vision.

Our experienced eye care team focuses on early detection, careful monitoring, and personalized management of glaucoma to support long-term eye health. If you would like to schedule a glaucoma evaluation, please contact our office at (248) 650-2255.
