Eye Disease Management Includes:

  • Comprehensive eye exam

    Comprehensive eye exams are critical in catching sight-robbing eye diseases that typically don’t show early symptoms.

  • Diagnostic screening

    Certain changes in your eyes can indicate eye conditions. Our optometrists can diagnose the disease and determine the cause of these changes.

  • Treatments and surgeries

    We provide a wide range of treatments, including prescription eye drops and other medication. If needed, we'll refer you to the right specialist for eye surgery.

  • After care and follow-up

    We provide follow-up exams and after-care treatments to help you manage your symptoms and safeguard your vision.


What Are the 4 Most Common Eye Diseases?

  • Diabetic Retinopathy

    If you have diabetes, you should be aware of the risk of diabetic retinopathy. Elevated blood sugar can cause blood vessels in the eye to become inflamed or swell. In the early stages, you may not notice symptoms, but advanced diabetic retinopathy can cause blurred vision or eye inflammation.

    Diabetic retinopathy treatment includes:

    • Prescription medication
    • Laser surgeries
    • Anti-VEGF and steroid injections
    • Vitrectomy
  • Glaucoma

    Glaucoma is a leading cause of blindness and often doesn’t show early symptoms. High pressure inside the eye causes glaucoma, and the purpose of glaucoma management is to reduce intraocular pressure.

    Glaucoma treatments include:

    • Prescription eye drops or medications
    • Laser procedures
    • Filtration surgery
    • Drainage tubes
    • Minimally invasive glaucoma surgery (MIGS)
  • Cataracts

    Cataracts are cloudy formations on the eye lens. They can make your vision blurry and distorted. To restore normal vision, an optometrist will recommend cataract surgery, which involves replacing the cloudy lens with an artificial intraocular lens.

  • Macular Degeneration

    Macular degeneration, or AMD, occurs when the macula or the central part of the retina deteriorates. This results in blurred and distorted vision.

    There are two types of AMD: Dry AMD and Wet AMD.

    Although there isn’t a treatment for dry AMD, lifestyle changes and specific supplements can help prevent further vision deterioration.

    Wet AMD treatments include:

    • Photodynamic therapy
    • Anti-VEGF injections
    • Laser photocoagulation

Distorted or Blurred Vision? Have a family history of serious eye diseases?

Schedule an eye exam at Family Eye Clinic in Midlothian. Early diagnosis and treatment can help preserve eye health and prevent vision loss.


Eye Disease Management FAQs

Do eye problems run in the family?

Yes. Genetics increase our chances of developing diseases that impact vision and eye health.

In fact, over 350 eye diseases are attributed to hereditary factors, including age-related macular degeneration (AMD), cataracts, glaucoma, and retinitis pigmentosa. Learning about your family’s medical history can provide important clues regarding your predisposition to certain eye diseases and vision problems.

How to prevent eye diseases?

Adopting a healthy lifestyle and getting regular eye exams can improve your chances of maintaining clear vision and eye health.

Make sure to:

  • Avoid smoking
  • Maintain healthy blood sugar levels if you have diabetes
  • Wear sunglasses that offer 100 UV protection
  • Have regular eye exams
What are the symptoms of serious eye problems?

Although certain eye diseases show specific symptoms, the signs vary according to the condition. Keep in mind that some eye diseases, such as glaucoma, often don’t show early symptoms—which is why it's important to get regular eye exams.

If you experience any of the following, contact Family Eye Clinic immediately.

  • Blurry or double vision
  • Eye inflammation or eye pain
  • Eye Floaters
  • Eye swelling
  • Blind spots

If you experience any symptoms or have a family history of eye diseases, make sure to schedule a consultation and eye exam at Family Eye Clinic in Midlothian today.

Facility was very clean! Kaiden served me well! He was very pleasant from start to finish. I appreci... ate how he cleaned every instrument before and after use! He kept me aware every step of the way, didn’t leave confused or unsure of things that took place. Dr Nhat was great also, he explained details of my eye exam in terms I could understand, shared important information another clinic in Ennis Tx failed to tell me. 😡 Jessica helped me pick out perfect eyewear fit to my liking. Loved the convenience of scheduling an appt online. Again superb service Kaiden (love how your mom spelled your name), Dr Nhat and Jessica. Be blessed. Sorry for late review, I forgot. 😇🤭🫣🥴😃

Dr. Nhat Nguyen is excellent. He listens, proceeds step by step, diagnoses an issue, and then moves... to treatment. Today he helped my son who had some issue with his eye. Dr. Nguyen, using his logical approach, determined it was some particulate on his interior eyelid, removed it, and all is well. I am grateful to him and the clinic for their skill and care.

The Family Eye Clinic eye health evaluation and eyesight testing pricedure was excellent. The whole ... process was quickly completed but we never felt like we were being rushed. The prescription lenses were exactly what was needed. Highly recommended.

I was hesitant about trying a new Optometrist since my last experience was not the best, but I could... not be more pleased with my appointment at Family Eye Clinic yesterday. The front desk, my tech, the Dr, and even Jessica (I think?) who helped me pick out a pair of glasses, all went above and beyond! My entire appointment took less than an hour. Kind, professional, and thorough!

Great experience

I have been a patient of Family Eyecare for 3 years. Never an issue, only good care and experiences.... When a torn retina was found I was quickly referred to Dr Crawford of Star Retina, who is equally as wonderful as Family Eye Care. I highly recommend Family Eye Care for you visit needs.
