Eye Conditions Treated

Conditions Treated by Our Kailua-Kona Eye Doctor

Most anyone would agree that eyesight is a precious gift -- but diseases, disorders, and injuries can threaten the eyesight of you and your loved ones. Fortunately, our Kailua-Kona eye doctor at Wally Kojima, O.D. and Associates can diagnose and treat these conditions, including:

Cataracts

Cataracts cause the eye's lens to become opaque, resulting in blurry vision, changes in your low-light and color perception, and distracting "halos" around light sources. Most cataracts are slow to progress, allowing us to monitor them carefully and prescribe corrective lenses and lifestyle changes as needed. If you need surgery to remove cataracts, Dr.Kojima can provide pre-operative and post-operative care.

Dry Eyes

When your eyes cannot produce enough tears or the balance of ingredients in the tears cannot maintain the necessary protective film, dry eyes are the result. Symptoms include itching redness, foreign body sensations, and vision problems. We can discover why your eyes are drying out and prescribe the right combination of remedies to keep them hydrated.

Glaucoma

Glaucoma causes permanent damage to your optic nerves, usually because the eye's inner fluid isn't draining well enough to maintain safe pressure levels. We can prevent glaucoma from robbing you of your eyesight by administering medications that regulate intraocular pressure.

Macular Degeneration

Macular degeneration is an age-related condition that affects an area of the retina called the macula. Overtime, destruction of the macula can cause you to lose your central visual field. Early detection enables us to monitor the condition's progress, recommend dietary and lifestyle changes to minimize its effects, and prescribe injectable medications to control advanced cases.

Diabetic Eye Disease

Diabetic eye disease is the result of excess blood sugar damaging the delicate blood vessels in the retina. This damage not only causes macular swelling and retinal destruction, but it can also promote the growth of abnormal blood vessels. We will urge you to take steps to control your diabetes while recommending any necessary treatments to save your eyesight.

Conjunctivitis

Conjunctivitis is a common but irritating infection of the sensitive membrane that lines your eyelid and the white of the eye, producing the characteristic redness that earns it the nickname "pinkeye." We can identify the cause of your conjunctivitis and prescribe antibiotics, soothing eye drops and home care practices to help you get over this affliction.

Eye Injuries

Even a tiny piece of grit can cause corneal scratches, while other foreign objects, chemicals or impacts may produce even more serious problems. We can provide prompt treatment to remove objects, cleanse the eyes and tend to wounded tissues.
