Treatment for Glaucoma, Diabetic Eyes & More in Dallas
Many serious eye diseases develop without noticeable symptoms, making routine eye exams essential for early detection and long-term vision preservation. At Keesha K. Hampton, OD, PC, we specialize in comprehensive eye disease management, using advanced diagnostic technology to detect and monitor conditions like glaucoma, macular degeneration, diabetic eye disease, and cataracts. With a patient-first approach and customized treatment plans, Dr. Hampton ensures every patient receives the care they need to protect their sight and maintain their independence. Same-day and walk-in appointments are available for urgent medical eye concerns.
Why Managing Eye Diseases Early is Critical
Eye diseases can develop gradually and without pain, meaning many patients don’t realize they have a vision-threatening condition until it has already progressed. Routine screenings allow for early detection, intervention, and treatment, helping to slow progression and prevent irreversible vision loss.
Dr. Hampton provides thorough, unrushed exams, ensuring that every patient receives personalized care based on their individual risk factors. Patients with diabetes, high blood pressure, or a family history of eye disease require more frequent monitoring to stay ahead of potential complications.
With state-of-the-art diagnostic technology, Dr. Hampton can detect even the earliest signs of eye disease, allowing for timely treatment and better long-term outcomes.
Common Eye Diseases We Manage at Keesha K Hampton O.D. P.C.
Glaucoma:
Glaucoma is a leading cause of blindness, often developing without symptoms until vision loss has already begun. It occurs when increased eye pressure damages the optic nerve, affecting peripheral vision first and eventually leading to total blindness if untreated.
Dr. Hampton performs comprehensive glaucoma screenings, including eye pressure testing, optic nerve imaging, and visual field assessments, to monitor for changes. Early detection and treatment can often prevent or slow vision loss.
Diabetic Eye Disease
Diabetes can lead to diabetic retinopathy, a condition where high blood sugar levels damage the retina’s blood vessels, causing bleeding, swelling, and vision loss. Patients with diabetes are also at an increased risk for glaucoma and cataracts, making regular eye exams essential.
Dr. Hampton specializes in diabetic eye exams, using retinal imaging and OCT scans to detect damage before symptoms appear. By closely monitoring changes in the retina, she helps patients manage their eye health and reduce the risk of severe vision complications.
Macular Degeneration
Macular degeneration affects the part of the eye responsible for sharp, detailed vision, making it difficult to read, recognize faces, or see fine details. It is the leading cause of vision loss in adults over 50.
Dr. Hampton provides comprehensive screenings for both dry and wet macular degeneration, using OCT scans to detect subtle changes in the macula. While there is no cure, early detection and personalized management strategies can help slow progression and maintain quality of life.
Cataracts
Cataracts cause the clouding of the eye’s lens, leading to blurry vision, glare sensitivity, and difficulty seeing at night. This condition develops gradually but can significantly affect daily activities.
Dr. Hampton offers cataract evaluations and co-management for surgery referrals, ensuring patients receive the right treatment at the right time to restore their vision and maintain independence.
Advanced Technology for Early Detection & Treatment
We use the latest technology to detect, monitor, and manage eye diseases before they cause serious vision loss.
- Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT Scans) provides detailed, cross-sectional retina images, allowing for early detection of glaucoma, macular degeneration, and diabetic retinopathy.
- Fundus Camera Retinal Imaging captures high-resolution images of the optic nerve and blood vessels, helping track changes in diabetic eye disease, glaucoma, and macular health.
- Visual Field Testing evaluates peripheral vision loss, essential for detecting glaucoma progression and neurological conditions affecting sight.
- The Non-Contact Tonometer (NCT) measures eye pressure painlessly, an important screening tool for glaucoma risk assessment.
These advanced diagnostic tools allow Dr. Hampton to provide highly accurate evaluations and create customized treatment plans for every patient.
