Glaucoma, Dry Eye, and More

Proactive Care for Lifelong Vision

Your eyes tell a detailed story about your health. At Corner Optical in Glenview, we take a proactive approach to eye disease management so small problems stay small and you keep doing the things you love. From glaucoma monitoring to diabetic eye exams, dry eye relief, and cataract co-management, our goal is simple: early detection, clear next steps, and care that fits real life.

We serve patients throughout Glenview, Northbrook, and the North Shore, with thorough exams, plain-English explanations, and technology that helps us spot changes early.

Technology That Catches Changes Early

We use advanced tools to see more, earlier, without making the visit complicated:

• Retinal Imaging: Detailed, wide-field images of the back of your eye help us document baseline health and monitor small changes over time. Often, there’s no dilation needed.

• Visual Field Testing: Measures peripheral vision to detect patterns associated with glaucoma and certain neurological conditions.

• Comprehensive Health Evaluation: During every medical exam, we thoroughly examine the front and back of the eye for signs of inflammation, dryness, cataract progression, and systemic conditions that may affect ocular tissue.

This isn’t tech for tech’s sake; it’s how we personalize your plan and keep an eye on meaningful trends.

Conditions We Commonly Manage

Glaucoma

Glaucoma often develops gradually, which is why routine checks are essential. We assess eye pressure, optic nerve health, and peripheral vision to detect early changes. When we catch it sooner, management is usually simpler and outcomes are better.

Diabetic Eye Exams

Diabetes can affect the tiny blood vessels in the retina. Our diabetic eye exams look for early signs of change so you and your primary care team can act before vision is impacted. We coordinate notes as needed to keep your care connected.

Dry Eye

Burning, watering, or gritty eyes can make screens and outdoor time frustrating. We evaluate tear quality and surface health, discuss habits that help, and outline treatment options from lubricants and hygiene routines to lifestyle tweaks that actually stick.

Cataract Co-Management

Cataracts are common with age and typically progress slowly. We track clarity and visual function over time, discuss timing based on your lifestyle, and coordinate with trusted surgeons when surgery becomes the right choice. You return to us for post-operative care and updated eyewear, ensuring a smooth. transition

When to See an Optometrist About Symptoms

Call us if you notice any of the following:

• Persistent dryness, burning, watering, or light sensitivity

• Halos around lights or trouble with night driving

• A sudden change in clarity (especially if it doesn’t improve)

• Fluctuating vision tied to blood sugar changes

• Family history of glaucoma or significant eye disease

If you ever experience sudden flashes, a curtain over vision, or eye pain, treat that as urgent and contact us immediately.

(We do not diagnose online. In-person exams let us evaluate properly and create a plan that fits your needs.)

We focus on early detection and practical guidance so you can maintain independence and enjoy the North Shore lifestyle without avoidable vision frustrations.
