Ocular Disease Diagnosis and Management
Using cutting-edge technology, we diagnose and manage conditions like glaucoma, macular degeneration, diabetic retinopathy, and cataracts with precision. Early and accurate detection allows for prompt treatment and improved outcomes, enabling us to take a proactive approach to diseases that once had limited treatment options.
Because many of these conditions may show no visible symptoms and require specialized diagnostic equipment, routine comprehensive eye exams are essential for early detection and effective care. Learn more about our ocular disease management services below.
Diabetic Eye Exams
Diabetic retinopathy affects about 1 million Canadians and is the leading cause of blindness among adults. If untreated, it can lead to diabetic macular edema (DME), causing permanent vision loss. Early detection through annual eye exams is crucial, as symptoms may not appear in the early stages.
At Sullivan Optometry, we use the Zeiss Cirrus OCT for early diagnosis and effective management of diabetic retinopathy. Dr. Dhott has extensive experience in diabetic eye care from his time at Nationwide Vision’s Diabetic Eye Centers in the U.S.
Glaucoma
Glaucoma is a leading cause of blindness, affecting over 450,000 Canadians, and damages the optic nerve, often with no early symptoms. The most common type, primary open-angle glaucoma, is known as the “silent thief of sight.” Without early detection, it can lead to irreversible vision loss, starting with peripheral vision and narrowing to tunnel vision.
Regular eye exams are essential for detecting early signs and preventing progression. A family history increases the risk, so those with relatives diagnosed with glaucoma should have routine testing to monitor their eye health.
Cataracts
A cataract is a condition where the lens of the eye becomes cloudy, blocking light and causing vision problems. This clouding typically develops gradually with age but can sometimes progress more rapidly. Cataracts are common and can be effectively treated with cataract surgery once they reach an advanced stage.

Macular Degeneration
Macular degeneration affects the macula, the part of the eye responsible for sharp central vision. While there is no cure, treatments can slow progression or improve vision, depending on the type. For dry macular degeneration, routine eye exams, especially after age 60, are essential for early detection.
Treatment may include high-dose zinc and antioxidants. Wet macular degeneration can be treated with laser surgery, light-activated dyes, or injections. While treatments can help, vision loss is often irreversible, so consult us to understand your options.
