Comprehensive Ophthalmology Services in Chicago
We offer routine ophthalmic evaluations which screen and treat a wide range of ophthalmic conditions including cataracts, ocular surface disorders including dry eye, glaucoma, diabetic retinopathy and macular degeneration.
Routine Eye Exams
Routine eye exams are an essential part of maintaining lifelong vision health. These regular check-ups help detect common vision problems such as nearsightedness, farsightedness, and astigmatism, while also identifying early signs of more serious eye conditions like glaucoma, cataracts, and macular degeneration—often before symptoms appear.
During a comprehensive eye exam, your eye care specialist will perform several key evaluations. These typically include visual acuity tests to measure how clearly you see at various distances, refraction tests to determine the need for glasses or contact lenses, and an assessment of eye coordination and muscle function. Your provider may also use specialized equipment to examine the internal structures of the eye, such as the retina and optic nerve, often with the help of pupil dilation. These detailed evaluations allow for the early detection and treatment of eye diseases, helping to preserve your vision and overall eye health.
Diagnosis and Treatment of Common Eye Conditions
Our comprehensive services handle most of the general ocular problems and those patients desiring screenings for cataracts, glaucoma, and diabetic retinopathy.
University Ophthalmology Associates provide the following diagnostic tests:
- Visual Acuity
- Refraction
- Slit lamp evaluation
- Ophthalmoscopy
- Tonometry
- Gonioscopy
- Visual field testing
Typical treatments include prescription medications and/or optical correction, however, occasional surgical intervention for cataracts and laser treatments are offered when deemed appropriate.
Surgical Services
Comprehensive ophthalmologists at University Ophthalmology Associates are trained to perform a wide range of eye surgeries to restore, preserve, and enhance vision. These procedures are guided by precision, experience, and the latest advancements in ophthalmic technology.
- Cataract Surgery: This common procedure involves removing the eye’s cloudy natural lens and replacing it with a clear artificial intraocular lens (IOL) to restore sharp, vibrant vision.
- Laser Eye Surgery: Techniques like LASIK and PRK reshape the cornea to correct refractive errors such as nearsightedness, farsightedness, and astigmatism.
- Glaucoma Surgery: When medications aren’t enough, surgical options like laser trabeculoplasty or minimally invasive glaucoma surgery (MIGS) help reduce intraocular pressure to protect the optic nerve.
- Corneal Procedures: Treatments such as corneal cross-linking or corneal transplant procedures restore corneal clarity and structure in patients with conditions like keratoconus.
At UOA, we use state-of-the-art diagnostic imaging, computer-assisted surgical planning, and laser-guided systems to ensure optimal outcomes and minimal recovery time.
