Conditions We Treat
At The Medical Group of New Jersey, our ophthalmology team evaluates and treats a wide spectrum of eye conditions. Each of the conditions below links to a detailed Clinical Patient Journey that explains symptoms, diagnosis, treatment, and follow-up care so you know what to expect at every step.
Cataracts cause clouding of the eye’s natural lens, leading to blurred vision, glare, and difficulty with night driving. We offer thorough evaluation and modern cataract surgery with surgical plans tailored to your visual needs.
Glaucoma is a group of diseases that damage the optic nerve, often from elevated eye pressure, and can lead to gradual peripheral vision loss. Our team provides early detection, pressure-lowering eye drops, laser therapy, and surgical options to preserve sight.
Macular Degeneration (Age-Related Macular Degeneration, AMD)
Macular degeneration affects the central part of the retina responsible for detailed vision. We use retinal imaging and, when needed, in-office injections to slow progression, protect central vision, and support daily activities like reading and driving.
Diabetic retinopathy develops when long-term high blood sugar damages the retinal blood vessels. Our ophthalmologists work closely with your diabetes care team to provide retinal exams, imaging, laser treatments, and injections to prevent or slow vision loss.
Refractive Errors (Nearsightedness, Farsightedness, Astigmatism, Presbyopia)
Refractive errors cause blurry vision at near, distance, or both. We provide comprehensive eye exams, glasses and contact lens prescriptions, and evaluations for refractive surgery to help you see clearly and comfortably.
Retinal detachment is an urgent condition in which the retina pulls away from the back of the eye, often causing flashes, floaters, or a curtain-like shadow in vision. We offer rapid assessment and coordinate prompt surgical repair to protect long-term vision.
Conjunctivitis causes redness, discharge, irritation, or itching of the eye. Our ophthalmologists identify whether the cause is viral, bacterial, allergic, or irritant-related and tailor treatment while helping you prevent spread to others.
Corneal Disorders (Keratoconus, Abrasions, Ulcers, Keratitis)
Corneal disorders can cause pain, irritation, and visual distortion. We use specialized imaging, medical therapy, and procedures such as corneal cross-linking or, when necessary, surgical options to restore corneal health and clarity.
Dry eye syndrome occurs when the eyes do not produce enough tears or when tears evaporate too quickly. We focus on identifying the underlying cause and creating a customized plan using lubricating drops, prescription medications, in-office therapies, and lifestyle strategies.
Eye trauma includes injuries ranging from minor scratches to serious globe or orbital damage. Our ophthalmology team provides urgent evaluation, imaging, and treatment, as well as close follow-up to support healing and protect long-term vision.
