Services

Magnante Eye Care offers a comprehensive range of services from annual medical eye exams to eye emergencies.  Some of the most common services we offer:

Cataract Surgery: Cataract surgery is performed because the cataract causes the lens to become cloudy, which affects the vision. During the procedure, the lens of the eye is removed, and in most cases, replaced with an artificial lens.

Laser Surgery: Laser surgeries are important in the treatment of different eye problems and diseases.  There are several types of laser surgery used to treat glaucoma.

Diabetic Eye Care: Diabetics with uncontrolled blood sugars are at a higher risk for diabetic retinopathy, cataracts and glaucoma.

Glaucoma Management: Treating glaucoma is a team effort between the patient and doctor.  It requires the patient to follow physician instruction for using the eye drops and monitoring at regular appointments.

Macular Degeneration: Macular degeneration is the leading cause of vision loss. Regular comprehensive eye exams can detect it before the disease causes vision loss and treatment can slow the progress of the disease.

Eyelid Surgery: A surgical procedure to improve the appearance of the eyelids.  Surgery can be performed on the upper lids and/or lower lids.

Drooping/Puffy Eyelids: A drooping or puffy eyelid can be caused by a variety of medical issues.  You should be seen in the office if the issue lasts more than 48 hours or obstructs your vision.

Tearing Problems: Natural tears are important for the health of your eyes. They wash away dust, and they keep your eyes lubricated. People with tearing problems either experience excessive tears or dryness, and this can be accompanied by burning, irritation, and blurred vision.

Dry Eyes:  Dry eye is a condition in which a person doesn’t have enough quality tears to lubricate and nourish the eye. People with dry eyes may experience irritated, gritty, scratchy or burning eyes; a feeling of something in their eyes; excess watering; and blurred vision.

Vitamins for Eye Health

Within the eye, the retina and macula are susceptible to degenerative changes associated with age.  A growing body of scientific research indicates that EPA and DHA – the omega-3 essential fatty acids in fish oil – play key roles in maintaining the healthy structure and function of eye tissue.

Magnante Eye Care is pleased to offer Nordic Natural Omega-3 Fish Oil for Eye Health.

These Omega-3s promote ocular health:

• Help the body maintain normal eye function as you age.
• Maintain fluid and healthy ocular cell membranes.
• Support normal levels of tissue moisture and tear production.

The Nordic Natural Omega-3 vitamins are available for purchase in the office with cash, check, or credit card.  They cannot be billed to insurance.
