Are you searching for eye doctors near you?

Our dedicated team of eye doctors and ophthalmologists in Bangor have the experience needed to help you solve your vision problems.

Cataract Surgery

Cataract surgery is a safe and effective procedure that can restore clear vision to people with cataracts. During cataract surgery, the cloudy lens in the eye is removed and replaced with a clear, artificial lens. The surgery is usually performed on an outpatient basis and takes about 15 minutes. Most people experience good results from cataract surgery, and their vision can improve significantly.

Here are some of the benefits of cataract surgery:

• Improved vision: Cataract surgery can significantly improve vision, making it easier to see clearly and perform everyday activities such as driving, reading, and watching TV.
• Increased independence: Cataract surgery can help people regain their independence and confidence by improving their vision.
• Reduced risk of complications: Cataract surgery can reduce the risk of complications associated with cataracts, such as glaucoma and retinal detachment.

Diabetic Eye Treatments

The best way to prevent diabetic eye diseases is to have routine checkups, especially if you have diabetes. Another excellent way to prevent diabetic eye disease is to monitor your blood sugar intake levels and your diabetes as a whole. This is particularly important as conditions like diabetic retinopathy develop without showing symptoms. If you’re concerned about your risk for developing diabetic eye diseases, call or schedule an appointment with one of our ophthalmologists today!

Glaucoma Specialists

Often referred to as the “sneak thief of sight,” glaucoma creeps in viciously and without warning. Don’t expect to see any symptoms of this disease developing. However, you can always protect your vision by having routine eye exams. If you do develop glaucoma, there are treatment options available! Although sight lost from glaucoma is permanent, there are options to slow glaucoma progression and save the vision remaining. At Vision Care of Maine, we take pride in providing treatment options for those with severe to mild glaucoma progression.
