Dr. Allan McCabe's practice offers a range of effective dry eye treatment options to alleviate symptoms and restore peak ocular health.

Dry eye syndrome, a common condition characterized by inadequate tear production or poor tear quality, can lead to discomfort, blurred vision, and increased risk of eye infections.

Environmental factors, such as prolonged screen time, air conditioning, and dry climates, can exacerbate dry eye symptoms.

Dr. McCabe's thorough approach to dry eye treatment begins with a meticulous evaluation to identify underlying causes.

Artificial tears, a staple in dry eye treatment, are often prescribed to supplement natural tear production.

In addition, Dr. McCabe may recommend lifestyle modifications, such as increasing humidity, reducing screen time, and adopting good eye care habits.

For more severe cases, prescription medications or punctal plugs may be necessary.

Cataracts, a common age-related condition causing clouding of the natural lens in the eye, can substantially impact daily life if left untreated. As an optometrist, Dr. Allan McCabe is dedicated to providing thorough cataract diagnosis and care to achieve excellent vision health.

Cataract diagnosis typically involves a detailed eye exam, which includes a visual acuity test, refraction, and slit-lamp examination. In some cases, additional tests may be necessary to confirm the diagnosis.

Some key aspects of cataract diagnosis and care include:

Early detection: Regular eye exams are vital for early detection and treatment of cataracts.

Cataract prevention methods: Maintaining a healthy lifestyle, protecting eyes from UV rays, and managing underlying health conditions can help prevent cataracts.

Cataract surgery risks: While generally safe, cataract surgery carries risks such as infection, inflammation, and visual disturbances.

Personalized treatment plans: Dr. McCabe develops tailored treatment plans suited to each patient's unique needs and health status.

Glaucoma, a group of eye conditions characterized by damage to the optic nerve, often presents silently, making regular glaucoma screening essential for early detection and effective treatment.

As an optometrist, Dr. Allan McCabe recognizes the importance of identifying glaucoma risks and taking proactive measures to mitigate them.

Dr. McCabe's glaucoma screening and treatment services are designed to detect the condition in its early stages, when it is most treatable.
