The Duncanville community has so much to offer the greater Dallas-Fort Worth area, which is why we take so much pride in serving the wonderful residents that make it so special. We’re just a stone’s throw away and we aren’t going anywhere anytime soon, so you can count on us. 

Here are some of the amazing services we offer Duncanville individuals and families:

• Retinal Detachment - this occurs when the retina, the part of the eye that converts light into an electrical signal for the brain to interpret, is detached from the back of the eye. 
• Refractive Errors - this occurs when the cornea is abnormally-shaped or -curved. Since light isn’t focused properly, refractive errors often result in blurred vision. 
• Glaucoma - this occurs when the optic nerve, the main communication line between the retina and brain, is damaged. It’s normally caused by increased intraocular pressure.
  

• Cataracts - this occurs when the natural lens, which is normally crystal-clear, becomes cloudy. Seeing through a cloudy lens is like looking through a frosted or cloudy window.
• Macular Degeneration - the macula is the part of the retina that controls central vision. As you age, this area slowly deteriorates and results in vision impairment or loss.
• Floaters - when tiny clumps of collagen protein form in the vitreous gel of your eye, it creates small floaters, which appear as black dots or specks, in your field of vision. 
• Allergies - commonly known as allergic conjunctivitis, eye allergies are a result of increased histamine production in the eyes after exposure to an irritant in the air. 
• Dry Eyes - your eyes naturally produce tears to help protect and moisturize your eyes, but sometimes these tears evaporate too quickly or not enough are produced. 
• Diabetic Retinopathy - any damage to the retina that’s caused by diabetes is known as diabetic retinopathy. Eye damage is extremely common among diabetes patients.
  

Why Do You Need an Annual Eye Exam?

Speaking of early detection, there’s nothing more important to your eye health than booking a regular eye exam once per year. This gives your local ophthalmologist an opportunity to assess your eye health and spot any potential risks, concerns, diseases, or issues in their early stages. 



That’s why an annual eye exam is necessary whether you’re showing symptoms or not. Even those with perfect eye health and vision should get their eyes looked at once per year and those with poor eye health might require more frequent visits. It all depends on each unique individual.

Here are some of the diseases and conditions a comprehensive eye exam can detect or diagnose:

• Refractive Errors
• Glaucoma
• Cataracts
• Retinal Detachment
• Age-Related Macular Degeneration
• Diabetic Retinopathy
