Dr. Stock and his staff are ready to help you with all your eye care and ophthalmologic needs. We provide a safe, comfortable space to optimize your eye health. As a comprehensive ophthalmologist, Dr. Stock diagnoses and treats, medically and surgically, many eye diseases. When a patient will benefit from more specialized care, he refers patients to sub-specialists in neuro-ophthalmology, or for surgery for corneal or retinal diseases, glaucoma
Cataract Surgery
As your eyes age, the lens often becomes cloudy and forms a cataract. Cataracts can cause decreased vision for driving and reading. You may experience glare during night driving and a need for additional light to read. There may also be changes in the focus of the eyes.
For patients with significant cataract symptoms, Dr. Stock can remove the clouded lens and replace it with an artificial lens. This can improve your vision in many ways.
Glaucoma Treatment
Regular glaucoma testing is important. Catching the disease early enough helps prevent or slow vision loss.
Dr. Stock performs the testing required to detect the various forms of glaucoma. This includes monitoring the intraocular pressure, gonioscopy, pachymetry, automated visual field testing, and optical coherence tomography. Depending on your situation, he may prescribe medicated eye drops or laser treatment.
Diabetic Eye Disease Management
We realize patients with diabetes face complex health and lifestyle issues, including eye disease. For these patients, the risk of diabetic retinopathy is usually the most significant, long-term threat to their vision. This requires annual eye examinations.
Treatment for Corneal Disorders
The cornea is the clear front layer of your eye, which does most of the focusing to allow you to see clearly. The cornea can easily become damaged through infection or injury. It is an are of the eye at risk for a variety of diseases. Dr. Stock will evaluate and treat corneal disorders to ensure the long term clarity of your corneas.
Dry Eye Treatment
Many people have inadequate amounts of tears or unhealthy tear composition, leaving their eyes feeling dry and uncomfortable. These symptoms become more common as people age. In Michigan, dry eyes are more common and more bothersome during cold weather months. If your eyes burn or sting, or even if they water too much, come see us. We can help you feel more comfortable through a variety of eye treatment options and lifestyle changes.
