At Lakeshore Optical, we are committed to helping you maintain optimal eye health through expert management of eye conditions and diseases. Our experienced team in Tempe, AZ, offers personalized care to diagnose, monitor, and treat a wide range of eye issues, ensuring you receive the best possible outcomes for your vision.
Comprehensive Eye Disease Management
Many eye diseases develop without noticeable symptoms, making regular eye exams crucial for early detection and effective treatment. Our comprehensive eye disease management services include the diagnosis and treatment of several common and serious conditions:
Glaucoma
Glaucoma is a group of eye conditions that damage the optic nerve, often due to increased pressure in the eye. If left untreated, it can lead to irreversible vision loss. At Lakeshore Optical, we use advanced diagnostic tools to monitor eye pressure and optic nerve health. Early detection is key; our personalized treatment plans help manage the condition and prevent further vision deterioration.
Diabetic Retinopathy
Diabetic retinopathy is a complication of diabetes that affects the blood vessels in the retina. It can lead to vision loss if not managed properly. We work closely with patients who have diabetes to monitor their eye health and provide treatment to manage this condition effectively, helping to prevent complications.
Cataracts
Cataracts cause clouding of the eye’s natural lens, leading to impaired vision. While common in older adults, cataracts can affect anyone. We offer comprehensive assessments and co-management for cataract surgery, ensuring you receive the best care before, during, and after the procedure.
Dry Eye Syndrome
Dry eye occurs when your eyes don’t produce enough tears or the right quality of tears, leading to discomfort and vision problems. We offer personalized treatment plans to alleviate symptoms and restore moisture to your eyes, improving both comfort and vision quality.
Macular Degeneration
Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) affects the central part of the retina, leading to loss of central vision. It is a common condition, particularly in older adults. Our comprehensive eye exams include screenings for AMD, and we offer management strategies to slow its progression, helping you maintain as much of your vision as possible.
Eye Conditions We Treat
In addition to managing eye diseases, we also treat a variety of other eye conditions that can affect your quality of life:
Conjunctivitis (Pink Eye)
Conjunctivitis, or pink eye, is an inflammation of the eye’s outer layer. It can be caused by bacteria, viruses, or allergens and often leads to redness, itching, and discharge. Our effective treatment plans help relieve symptoms and address the underlying cause.
Blepharitis
Blepharitis is an inflammation of the eyelid margins, causing discomfort, redness, and crusting around the eyelashes. We offer treatments such as warm compresses, eyelid scrubs, and medications to manage this common condition and prevent recurrence.
Keratoconus
Keratoconus is a progressive condition where the cornea thins and bulges into a cone shape, distorting vision. At Lakeshore Optical, we provide advanced solutions like custom contact lenses to manage keratoconus, ensuring better vision and quality of life.
Uveitis
Uveitis is an inflammation of the uvea, the middle layer of the eye, which can cause pain, redness, and blurred vision. Our targeted treatments reduce inflammation and help prevent complications, preserving your vision.
Strabismus (Crossed Eyes)
Strabismus is a condition where the eyes do not align properly, leading to double vision or poor depth perception. We offer a range of treatments, including prism glasses, vision therapy, and surgical referrals, to correct this condition and improve visual coordination.
Allergic Eye Conditions
Allergic conjunctivitis and other allergic eye conditions can cause itching, redness, and watering of the eyes. We provide personalized care, including antihistamine eye drops and lifestyle recommendations, to manage symptoms and improve comfort.

At Lakeshore Optical, we utilize state-of-the-art diagnostic tools to ensure accurate diagnosis and effective management of eye conditions and diseases. Our technology includes:
- Optomap Retinal Imaging: Offers detailed images of the retina, allowing for early detection of eye diseases.
- OCT (Optical Coherence Tomography): Provides high-resolution images of the retina’s layers, essential for diagnosing and monitoring conditions like macular degeneration and glaucoma.
