At Mountain West Eyecare, we believe protecting your vision means catching eye diseases early, tracking changes over time, and making sure you understand what’s happening every step of the way.
Whether you’re living with a chronic condition or simply want peace of mind about your long-term vision, we’re here to support you now and into the future.
Many serious eye disease start slowly, often without any symptoms. That’s why routine eye exams are so important. Our West Valley City eye doctor uses advanced diagnostic technology to detect early warning signs before vision loss begins.
Here’s how we help protect your sight:
Optos widefield retinal imaging to scan the back of your eye in detail
Eye pressure testing to screen for glaucoma
Visual field exams to assess how your eyes are working together
Careful tracking of changes from one visit to the next
Personalized care plans for every patient
If your condition requires additional care, we coordinate closely with trusted specialists in across Utah.
Often called the “silent thief of sight,” glaucoma causes damage to your optic nerve, usually without warning. If left untreated, it can lead to permanent vision loss.
We monitor glaucoma using a combination of eye pressure testing, optic nerve scans, and visual field assessments. Our goal is to catch changes early, track them closely, and refer for treatment when needed.
Diabetes can damage the small blood vessels in your eyes and lead to diabetic retinopathy, swelling, or vision loss.
We provide comprehensive diabetic eye exams that include retinal imaging to detect early signs of disease. If you’re living with diabetes, yearly eye exams are one of the most important steps you can take to protect your vision.
Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) affects the part of your retina responsible for sharp, central vision, the kind you use to read, recognize faces, and drive. It doesn’t cause total blindness, but it can make everyday tasks much more difficult.
We monitor AMD with advanced imaging tools that track subtle changes in the macula over time. If we detect signs of early or intermediate degeneration, we’ll walk you through your options, including lifestyle changes, supplements, or referral to a retinal specialist if needed.
Cataracts are a natural part of aging, in which the clear lens in your eye becomes cloudy, making your vision appear dim, hazy, or yellowed. You might notice glare from headlights, difficulty seeing at night, or that your glasses no longer feel “strong enough.”
We evaluate cataracts during your medical eye exams and monitor their progression. If they begin to interfere with your daily life, we’ll refer you to a cataract specialist for removal.
Your retina plays a critical role in how you see and certain changes, like thinning or tearing, can lead to severe problems if not addressed quickly.
Using widefield retinal imaging, we screen for early signs of:
Retinal holes or tears
Lattice degeneration (a thinning of the retina)
Fluid buildup or retinal detachment risk
Vitreous changes that may signal traction on the retina
While many of these issues can be managed if caught early, a retinal detachment is an eye emergency. If we detect signs of damage or risk, we’ll refer you immediately to a local retinal specialist for further evaluation and treatment.
When it comes to your long-term vision, early action makes all the difference. At Mountain West Eyecare, we use advanced diagnostic tools and personalized care plans to detect eye disease early. Whether you’re living with a diagnosed condition or simply want peace of mind, our team is here to support you. Call or schedule online to take the first step in protecting your sight.
