Common Eye Disorders Explained: Your Guide to Eye Health at Kahala Eye Clinic

Eye disorders can range from minor issues to serious conditions that require immediate attention. At Kahala Eye Clinic, we provide comprehensive care and education on a wide range of common eye disorders, ensuring our patients are well-informed and prepared to maintain their eye health.

Common Eye Disorders We Treat

• Glaucoma: An eye condition that damages the optic nerve, often due to elevated pressure in the eye. If left untreated, glaucoma can lead to permanent vision loss.

• Cataracts: Cause clouding of the lens and can blur vision. They typically affect older adults and are treatable with surgery.

• Diabetic Retinopathy: Diabetes can damage blood vessels in the retina, leading to vision loss. Regular eye exams are essential for early detection and management of diabetic retinopathy.

• Macular Degeneration: This eye condition affects the macula, and can lead to loss of central vision. While there is no cure, early detection, proper eyewear and treatment can significantly slow the progression.

• Dry Eye Syndrome: Common in Hawaii’s sunny, windy climate, Dry Eye can cause discomfort and blurry vision. We specialize in Dry Eye treatment and include complementary testing with every comprehensive exam. Basic treatments include artificial tears, prescription drops, and punctal plugs.

• Conjunctivitis (Pink Eye): This common eye infection causes redness, irritation, and discharge. Treatment depends on the cause but may involve antibiotics or anti-inflammatory medications.
