Eye Disease Management in West Los Angeles
When it comes to eye health, early detection and consistent monitoring protect the everyday things that matter, driving, reading, screen work, and staying active. Hodes Vision Optometry provides medical eye care in West Los Angeles focused on clear explanations, careful follow-up, and treatment plans that fit your life.
Medical Eye Care With Clear Guidance & Ongoing Monitoring
Eye disease often develops without obvious symptoms at first, which is why proactive monitoring matters. We take a step-by-step approach: thorough eye evaluation, clear findings you can understand, and a follow-up plan designed to protect vision while minimizing disruption to your schedule.
Glaucoma Monitoring
Glaucoma can progress quietly, so regular monitoring is the key to preserving vision.
Our glaucoma care focuses on tracking pressure and nerve health over time, explaining what test results mean for your daily life, and creating a schedule of visits and management plans that balance protection with convenience.
Macular Degeneration & Diabetic Eye Exams
Changes to the macula and diabetes-related retinal changes can affect reading, face recognition, and fine-detail tasks, things many West LA patients rely on every day.
We provide routine monitoring and education for macular degeneration and offer diabetic eye exams that coordinate with your overall health plan, so eye care fits into your broader medical routine.
Retinal Imaging & OCT For Detailed Monitoring
Changes to the macula and diabetes-related retinal changes can affect reading, face recognition, and fine-detail tasks, things many West LA patients rely on every day.
We provide routine monitoring and education for macular degeneration and offer diabetic eye exams that coordinate with your overall health plan, so eye care fits into your broader medical routine.
Cataract & LASIK Co-Management
If surgery is part of the plan, we provide coordinated cataract and LASIK co-management to support you before, during, and after the procedure.
We work with trusted local eye surgeons, help you understand timing and expectations, and manage follow-up care to keep your recovery streamlined and predictable.
Avulux® Migraine Lenses for Light Sensitivity Support
Light sensitivity can make screens, driving, and bright interiors triggering for some patients.
Avulux® migraine lenses filter specific wavelengths of light that may contribute to discomfort and visual triggers.
Our team evaluates whether these lenses might reduce your symptoms and fits them into a practical daily-life plan.
Signs You Should Seek Medical Eye Care
If you’re unsure whether to book a medical eye visit, consider scheduling if you experience any of the following:
- Sudden or unexplained vision changes, new blind spots, or persistent distortion
- Increasing difficulty reading or recognizing faces, especially if changes affect daily tasks
- New flashes, frequent floaters, or sudden light sensitivity
- Worsening control of vision with known eye disease (glaucoma, diabetes, macular changes)
- Eye pain, redness with vision change, or trauma to the eye
Patient Questions We Often Hear
Many patients continue driving and working with careful monitoring and management. Our goal is to help stabilize your vision so you can maintain independence; we’ll discuss safety and timing based on your results.
Imaging like OCT helps reveal subtle tissue changes, enabling us to intervene earlier and track treatment effects objectively, so decisions are based on data you and your doctor can review together.
