Proactive care for every person

Eye diseases can develop without noticeable symptoms, making regular checkups essential. At The Monocle, we focus on early detection and ongoing management to protect your vision and eye health.

From glaucoma and cataracts to macular degeneration and keratoconus, each condition requires careful monitoring and individualized care. We work closely with you to track changes, discuss options, and provide guidance on next steps, whether that means in-office management, co-management with a specialist, or a referral when appropriate.

Diagnostic technology at The Monocle

We use detailed imaging and measurement tools to see what the eye alone cannot. Every test helps us build a clear picture of your ocular health, allowing us to make thoughtful, evidence-based recommendations for your care.

Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT)

Insight beneath the surface of your eye

OCT provides detailed, cross-sectional images of the retina using light waves. It helps us detect early signs of glaucoma, diabetic retinopathy, and macular degeneration before symptoms appear. The scan takes only seconds, is painless, and provides an incredibly precise view of your eye’s inner structure.

Humphrey Visual Field Analyzer (HVA)

Mapping your peripheral vision

This test measures your peripheral vision to identify areas of vision loss that may indicate glaucoma or neurological conditions. It allows us to track subtle changes over time and protect your long-term visual health.

Optos Retinal Imaging

Capturing your retina in one glance

This wide-field retinal imaging captures over 80% of your retina in a single image, without dilation. It allows us to detect retinal tears, diabetic changes, and systemic concerns with clarity and comfort.

Eye diseases and conditions we manage at The Monocle

Your eyes are a window to your overall health. At The Monocle, we focus on detecting, monitoring, and managing a wide range of eye conditions. Our goal is to preserve vision, maintain comfort, and provide personalized guidance every step of the way.

From early detection to coordinated care with specialists, we help ensure that your eyes get the attention they deserve.

AMD affects the macula, the central part of the retina responsible for sharp, detailed vision. It can make reading, recognizing faces, and driving challenging if left unchecked. Through regular screenings, we monitor for subtle changes in the macula and work closely with retinal specialists when needed.

Early intervention and lifestyle guidance can help slow progression and protect your ability to see the details that matter most in daily life.

Often called the silent thief of sight, glaucoma gradually damages the optic nerve, sometimes without obvious symptoms.

At The Monocle, we combine OCT imaging and visual field testing to detect even minor changes early. Management may include prescription eye drops, co-management of surgical procedures, or referral to a trusted specialist for additional treatment. Our focus is on preserving your vision over the long term while providing clear guidance and ongoing support.

Cataracts cause the natural lens of the eye to cloud, resulting in blurry or dulled vision, increased sensitivity to light, and difficulty seeing at night. We carefully monitor cataract progression and provide guidance on lifestyle adjustments to help manage symptoms.

When surgical intervention is necessary, we coordinate seamlessly with ophthalmologists to ensure your care is smooth, well-supported, and tailored to your needs, from preoperative consultation to postoperative follow-up.

Diabetes can affect the tiny blood vessels in the retina, sometimes before vision changes are noticeable. We monitor for diabetic retinopathy, which damages retinal vessels, and diabetic macular edema, which causes swelling in the central retina.

At The Monocle, retinal imaging and OCT scans help us detect changes early and track progression. We coordinate care with your healthcare team and provide personalized recommendations to protect your vision and overall eye health.

Keratoconus thins and reshapes the cornea, creating irregular curvature that distorts vision and can lead to significant visual discomfort. At The Monocle, we offer tailored solutions, including glasses, soft contact lenses, and scleral lenses, to enhance clarity, comfort, and functionality.

In cases requiring more specialized intervention, we work with trusted corneal specialists for treatments like corneal crosslinking, helping slow disease progression and protect long-term vision.

Conjunctivitis can be bacterial, viral, or allergic, and early recognition is key to reducing discomfort, preventing spread, and protecting eye health. We evaluate symptoms, determine the underlying cause, and provide guidance on safe and effective treatment.

Timely care helps check that irritation, redness, and tearing are managed appropriately, helping you return to comfort quickly.

Floaters are common and usually harmless, but sudden flashes or a sudden increase in floaters may indicate retinal issues that require urgent attention.

At The Monocle, we use retinal imaging and careful examination to assess the health of your retina and determine if immediate treatment or referral is necessary. Early evaluation helps prevent complications and ensures your vision remains protected.

Seeing beyond the diagnosis

Eye disease management at The Monocle is not just about testing and treatment. It’s about understanding, connection, and confidence in your care. We take the time to explain every result, answer every question, and create a plan that feels personal to you.

Your vision deserves attention that’s both clinical and considered.
