You might have heard of cataracts, glaucoma, macular degeneration, and diabetic retinopathy, but these are just to name a few of the many possible conditions that can affect the eyes. Our training as optometrists makes us particularly skilled in the treatment and management of eye disease as well as identifying systemic disease that make effect the eyes. In the State of Maine, we are permitted to prescribe oral medications, prescribe topical (eye) medications, perform minor surgical procedures on the eye.
If you are being seen for a medical condition of the eye, an annual, dilated exam is recommended.
