Common Eye Problems Diagnosed & Treated By Our Winnipeg Eye Doctor Team

Not all eye health problems have obvious warning signs. If symptoms do develop, it often only happens once the disease process has already progressed significantly. This is why it's so crucial to visit an optometrist in Winnipeg on a regular basis--our team can detect problems early, initiate treatment early, and help you adjust your lifestyle to reduce risk factors and manage your eyesight better.

We work with hundreds of people every year living with a wide variety of eye health conditions, including:

1. Cataracts: a condition which causes impaired vision due to clouding of your eye lenses
2. Diabetic Retinopathy: one of the most common causes of vision loss, this diabetes-related condition is caused by damage to the blood vessels that supply blood to the delicate retinas
3. Macular Degeneration: an age-related condition that causes central vision loss due to gradual breakdown and thinning of the center of your retina, in an area called the macula
4. Refractive Errors: these visual focusing problems, including nearsightedness, farsightedness, and astigmatism, affect the way light enters and focuses in your eyes
5. Glaucoma: a condition, normally caused by an increase in inner eye pressure, that leads to gradual vision loss
6. Dry Eye Syndome: chronic dry eyes--typically caused by a disruption in normal tear production--can present with uncomfortable symptoms including sensitivity to light, blurry vision, and itchy, red, swollen, and/or watery eyes
