If you’re searching for eye doctors in Waxahachie, TX, you’ve come to the right place! MomPremier Eye Institute is excited to offer our quality eye care services to the Waxahachie area. We invite you to book an in-office appointment or schedule a virtual/telehealth visit. 

Here’s a brief overview of the eye care services we provide the Waxahachie community: 

• Retinal Detachment - as you age, the vitreous starts to pull away from the retina and eventually it detaches from the back of the eye. This is a medical emergency. 
• Refractive Errors - the three most common refractive errors include nearsightedness (myopia), farsightedness (hyperopia), and astigmatism (blurry vision both near and far).
• Glaucoma - when the retina converts light into an electrical signal, it travels through the optic nerve up to the brain. Any damage to the optic nerve is known as glaucoma. 
  

• Cataracts - the eye’s natural lens is normally clear and contributes to a clear picture. When people develop a cataract, the lens becomes cloudy and causes distorted vision.
• Macular Degeneration - the macula is located in the back of the eye and is part of the retina. It controls central vision, but its performance starts to deteriorate as you age. 
• Floaters - as you age, it’s common for tiny clumps of collagen protein to appear in your field of vision. They form in the vitreous gel and appear as tiny black specks or dots. 
• Allergies - eye allergies, also known as allergic conjunctivitis, are something most of us have experienced at least once in our life. They’re a result of histamine production.
• Dry Eyes - your eyes might become dry if you experience a sudden decrease in tear production or your tears start to evaporate too quickly. Either way, you need assistance.
• Diabetic Retinopathy - damage to the retina is so common in those diagnosed with diabetes that it has its own medical term, diabetic retinopathy, but we can help treat it.

When Should You Visit Your Local Ophthalmologist?

Proper eye care requires year-round maintenance and monitoring -- both by the patient and their ophthalmologist. There are two major scenarios that would cause you to visit your local eye doctor -- you’re experiencing eye problems/concerns or you’re scheduling an annual eye exam.

If you experience any issues with your eye health or vision at any point throughout the year, you shouldn’t hesitate to book an appointment with your ophthalmologist. They can help determine what the issue was, why it occurred, how to treat it properly, and how to prevent it in the future. 

Even if you don’t experience any issues with your eye health or vision, you should still book an annual comprehensive eye exam. Some eye diseases only show symptoms in the later stages, but an eye exam can help detect them in the early stages -- so don’t forget to book yours today!
