- GlaucomaCentral Oregon Eyecare continuously invests in new diagnostic technology. We have the world’s most advanced instruments for detecting and treating diseases such as glaucoma and retinal conditions.
- OphthalmologyPreventative and routine eye exams are important to maintaining good eye health. Often, eye and vision problems do not have obvious symptoms or signs, but are easily diagnosed by our certified optometric physicians. By diagnosing eye and vision conditions early, our optometric physicians are able to provide treatment options and in most cases restore or prevent vision loss. The American Optometric Association and the American Academy of Ophthalmology recommend annual eye and vision exams. Central Oregon Eyecare employs a customizable, automated recall system to ensure we keep you current with your eye care. This will give you peace of mind that you are taking care of your most precious sense, you sight.
- Macular DegenerationSpecialty eyeglass options may include fully customizable progressive addition lenses, computer or office lenses, lenses for night driving, music glasses, polarized sunglasses, anti-fatigue lenses to reduce eyestrain with extensive reading (great for students), and lenses that protect your retinas from the harmful light that may cause macular degeneration.

- CataractsAs people age, their eyes’ lenses — flexible tissue behind the pupil which focuses light — can become stiff and clump up. These are called cataracts, which mostly result from natural aging, but sometimes from disease or injury. Cataracts are known to cause blurry vision, light sensitivity, halos around lights, poor color vision, and double vision.
- Cataract SurgeryWhether it is glasses, contact lenses, lasik surgery or cataract surgery, a thorough eye examination is an important first step. Your doctor will evaluate your suitability for all of these options plus others during this examination.
- Eye ExamOur optometric physicians understand that many conditions in other parts of your body can, and often do, affect your eyes and vision. During your eye exam, our doctors will ask you questions about any symptoms or issues you are experiencing, medications you are currently taking, visual blur, your work environment, and your overall health. Family history and previous eye or vision conditions will also be discussed during this part of the examination. All of this information is considered when your doctor makes his or her recommendation for treatment.
- Diabetes Care
- Diabetic RetinopathyThis describes a group of eye conditions that can be caused by diabetes, including diabetic retinopathy (in which blood vessels damage the retina), glaucoma, and cataracts. While each of these conditions have their own symptoms, diabetic eye disease is tied to blurry vision, fluctuations in vision quality, flashes and floaters (see below), and spotty or total vision loss.
