Eye Disease Management

Glaucoma is a progressive eye disease that can lead to vision loss if left untreated. It typically develops without symptoms, which is why early detection and routine pressure checks are essential.

At Brassell Eye Care in Houston, we monitor glaucoma with intraocular pressure testing and retinal imaging to track changes over time. If you’ve been diagnosed or are at higher risk, we’ll provide consistent, long-term care to help preserve your vision.

AMD affects the macula, the part of the eye responsible for central vision, and is one of the most common causes of vision loss in older adults.

We monitor and manage dry AMD in-office, offering imaging and guidance for patients with early signs of macular changes. If advanced care is needed, we refer to trusted local retinal specialists while staying involved in your follow-up.

Patients with diabetes are at risk for diabetic retinopathy, a condition where high blood sugar damages the eye’s blood vessels. It can develop silently and progress without pain or early symptoms.

We work closely with your primary care physician or endocrinologist to monitor for changes in your eyes related to diabetes. Through consistent tracking and timely care, we help protect your long-term vision.

Ocular hypertension refers to elevated eye pressure without signs of glaucoma. While it doesn’t always progress, it does raise your risk.

We monitor patients with elevated intraocular pressure using visual assessments and optic nerve imaging to detect early signs of potential damage. Our approach is proactive but measured, aimed at managing risk before it becomes a problem.

Aging eyes need attention, but not all changes require urgent treatment. We provide routine care for older adults, including monitoring for cataracts, dry eye, presbyopia, and age-related vision changes.

Many of our older patients have seen Dr. Brassell for decades. They value the familiar, steady approach we bring to lifelong care, whether it’s routine monitoring or helping coordinate treatment before and after surgery.
