Common Medical Eye Conditions We Treat

Dry Eye Syndrome

Chronic dry eye can lead to persistent irritation, redness, fluctuating vision, and even damage to the ocular surface. Our doctors specialize in diagnosing the underlying causes of dryness and develop personalized, evidence-based treatment plans to restore comfort, enhance tear function, and protect long-term ocular health.

Eye Infections & Allergies

Red, itchy, or painful eyes may be signs of an underlying infection or ocular allergy. Our optometrists are trained to differentiate between bacterial, viral, and allergic eye conditions using advanced diagnostic techniques. We provide targeted treatment to relieve symptoms, resolve the cause, and get you back to feeling like yourself.

Glaucoma Management

Glaucoma often develops without symptoms, making early detection essential. We use advanced imaging and ongoing monitoring to manage the condition and help prevent vision loss.

Diabetic Eye Exams

Diabetes can impact eye health in subtle ways. Regular diabetic eye exams allow us to detect early changes and safeguard your long-term vision.

Foreign Object Removal & Emergency Eye Care

If you’ve experienced eye irritation from a foreign object, sudden vision changes, or minor trauma, we offer prompt care to relieve symptoms and prevent complications.

Common Eye Emergencies

  • Eye Infections / Pink Eye
    Conjunctivitis—commonly known as pink eye—is inflammation of the conjunctiva, often caused by a viral infection that may start with cold-like symptoms. Our doctors will perform a thorough exam to determine the cause and recommend treatment to relieve symptoms and reduce the risk of spreading the infection—so the rest of your family can rest easy.
  • Scratched Cornea
    The cornea is the clear front surface of the eye, rich in nerve endings—so even a small scratch can be extremely painful. Our doctors will assess the injury and, if needed, apply treatments like a bandage contact lens to promote healing, reduce discomfort, and prevent complications.

  • Contact Lens Complications
    Contact lenses—especially daily disposables—are a safe and convenient option for many people. However, occasional issues like irritation or discomfort can arise. In some cases, this may be a sign of an eye infection or a more serious concern such as a corneal ulcer.
    If your eyes become red, irritated, or sensitive to light while wearing contacts, it’s best to remove them and give your eyes a break. If the symptoms don’t improve, give us a call. We’re here to help you feel comfortable and get back to clear, healthy vision.
  • Flashes, Floaters, or Sudden Vision Loss
    Occasional floaters or flashes are common, but a sudden increase—especially when paired with vision loss—can indicate a retinal detachment, which requires urgent attention. If you notice new floaters, flashes of light, or any changes in your vision, please call us immediately.

  • Foreign Objects in the Eye
    An eyelash, speck of dirt, or even a small metal fragment in the eye can cause significant discomfort. At Wink, we use specialized equipment to safely and gently remove foreign objects—often bringing immediate relief. If something is stuck in your eye, give us a call—we can usually help the same day.
