Eye & Vision Problems Seen by Our Eye Doctor in West Des Moines

Lock Family Eye Care wants you to see the world as clearly as possible, but if you experience any type of eye or vision problem you need a West Des Moines eye doctor with the skills and experience to help. Let Dr. Michael Lock or Dr. Jenessa Lock conduct a thorough eye exam to assess your current vision capabilities, and check for any potential signs of ocular disease.

Some ocular conditions, disorders or eye diseases our Waukee optometrist can diagnose, monitor and treat include:

• Nearsightedness: Myopia makes your distance vision blurry.

• Farsightedness: Hyperopia makes your near vision blurry.

• Presbyopia: This age-related condition makes it harder for you to focus on near objects.

• Astigmatism: This is a refractive error which can be corrected by eyeglasses or contact lenses.

• Dry Eyes: If your eyes don’t produce enough tears or are frequently exposed to wind conditions, you might suffer redness, itchiness or scratching due to dry eye.

• Glaucoma: This progressive disease can cause irreversible damage to your optic nerves. Its presence is often indicated by high fluid pressure within your eye.

• Macular Degeneration: Age-related degeneration of the macula is often related to an overgrowth of blood vessels in your eye.

• Cataracts: This age-related condition is characterized by a clouding of the lens, which causes poor vision or halos around light sources.
