Protect Your Vision with Early Detection
Many eye conditions develop quietly, without obvious symptoms. This makes routine eye exams essential for protecting your vision and eye health. Early diagnosis allows our team to monitor, manage, and treat eye diseases before they impact your quality of life.
Regular eye exams are critical because conditions like glaucoma, cataracts, diabetic eye disease, and age-related macular degeneration (AMD) often do not show symptoms in the early stages. By detecting issues early, we can take action to preserve your sight and prevent long-term damage.
Don’t wait for issues to come up. Contact us to schedule your next appointment today for the peace of mind that comes with regular eye exams.
Why Regular Eye Exams Matter
Even if your vision seems clear, underlying eye conditions may be developing. Comprehensive eye exams allow our eye doctors to:
- Detect early signs of eye disease
- Identify subtle changes in vision or ocular health
- Develop a personalized management or treatment plan
Early intervention is the most effective way to maintain healthy vision and prevent complications down the line. At North Shore Eye Health & Wellness, we help manage a variety of eye diseases and conditions.
Glaucoma Management
Glaucoma is a group of conditions that can gradually damage the optic nerve and lead to vision loss. Because early stages often show no symptoms, routine eye exams are essential for detecting changes before significant vision is affected. As the condition progresses, symptoms may include loss of peripheral (side) vision or tunnel vision, making daily tasks more challenging.
Management options include:
- Prescription eye drops to lower eye pressure
- Laser treatments to improve fluid drainage
- Surgical procedures, when necessary
Regular monitoring allows our team to catch changes early, preserve vision, and prevent further progression.
Navigating Cataracts
Cataracts occur when the eye’s natural lens becomes cloudy, leading to blurred or dim vision, glare, and difficulty seeing at night. They usually develop gradually, which can slowly interfere with daily activities like reading, driving, or enjoying your favorite hobbies.
Our team provides comprehensive cataract co-management in partnership with trusted surgical specialists. This includes:
- Pre-operative assessments to evaluate eye health and discuss surgery options
- Post-operative care to monitor healing for the best visual outcomes
We guide you through every step, helping make the cataract treatment process safe, smooth, and as comfortable as possible.
Age-Related Macular Degeneration (AMD)
AMD affects the central part of the retina, called the macula, and can lead to gradual central vision loss. Early detection is crucial for slowing progression and maintaining daily function.
Management and treatment options include:
- Lifestyle changes and nutritional supplements to support retinal health
- Specialized injections for certain stages of AMD
- Dry AMD treatment: Low-level light therapy (photobiomodulation or PBM), a noninvasive option shown in clinical trials to support healthy retinal cells
Ongoing monitoring helps preserve vision and quality of life, giving you confidence in your long-term eye health.
Diabetic
Eye Disease
Diabetes can damage the blood vessels in the retina, leading to diabetic retinopathy or macular edema. In the early stages, there may be no noticeable symptoms, which is why regular eye exams are vital. As the condition progresses, symptoms may include blurred vision, floaters, or partial loss of vision.
Management strategies include:
- Tight blood sugar control to prevent progression
- Laser therapy or injections to address retinal damage
- Surgical interventions in more advanced cases
Consistent monitoring and timely treatment help protect your vision and reduce the risk of permanent damage..

What Patients Are Saying
My daughter came in with complaints of cloudy vision. Every person we encountered was friendly and professional. I could tell my daughter was comfortable during every test throughout her visit. Dr. assured both of us that her complaint was nothing to worry about!
Relieved and happy with our experience here!
Anne J.
As a new patient, I wasn’t sure exactly what to expect.
My previous experiences had been with large chain eye centers and those experiences were hit or miss. I was pleasantly surprised by my experience at North Shore Eye. They were friendly and thorough with their examinations and Dr. Ross was extremely
knowledgeable and friendly. I would highly recommend!
Amy S.
Extremely knowledgeable, has flexible hours that have allowed me to go in after work. Very prompt in his
responses and overall very friendly environment.
Lauren D.
The most up to date equipment with the most personal care from any optometrist I’ve ever gotten. I would recommend him to anybody who has a complex prescription and hasn’t had good luck with other doctors.
Geoff R.
Dr. Ross and staff were very helpful. When I had a terrible eye infection, Dr. Ross evaluated my eye, prescribed me the proper meds, and scheduled a follow-up to make sure everything was going as expected. Overall, I was very impressed with the level of care and would recommend North Shore to anyone who needs to see an optometrist.
