Superior Patient Satisfaction - Wayside Plaza Nappanee.
Your eye care provider can recommend the best contact lenses for you based on a complete eye examination and a review of your visual needs both at work and play. Since most people can wear more than one type of lens, it’s important to know what the choices are and the advantages and disadvantages of each.
Glaucoma
Nappanee Family Eyecare strives to provide the most advanced diagnostic treatment and management for those who suffer from glaucoma.
Macular Degeneration
At Nappanee Family Eyecare, we are committed to helping patients with age-related macular degeneration (ARMD) through laboratory and clinical research and by improving the lifestyle of patients who are currently afflicted with this disease.
Diabetic retinopathy affects blood vessels in the light-sensitive tissue called the retina that lines the back of the eye. These changes to blood vessels can cause them to bleed or leak fluid throughout the retina. This causes the retinal tissue to swell, resulting in cloudy or blurred vision. The longer a person has diabetes, the more likely they will develop diabetic retinopathy. If left untreated, diabetic retinopathy can cause blindness. DR is the most common cause of vision loss among people with type 1 and type 2 diabetes.
The automated perimetry test uses a computer program to test an individual’s field of vision. It measures areas or patterns of vision loss that may be the result of many different diseases like glaucoma, macular degeneration, multiple sclerosis, stroke, brain tumor, high blood pressure, etc.

Primary Care
As it is with any diagnosis, taking medications prescribed by your primary care physician is essential. Avoiding alcohol, smoking, and controlling high blood pressure has been shown to lessen the chance of developing diabetic ocular diseases. A healthy diet of leafy greens and vegetables, as well as regular exercise, are vital to maintaining overall body health and function. Diabetic retinopathy can be diagnosed through a comprehensive dilated vision examination with emphasis on evaluating the retina and macula.
