Stanwood Services

The friendly, knowledgeable experts at Cascadia Eye are privileged to offer comprehensive and caring eye care to our neighbors in Northwest Washington State. At our office in Stanwood, our ophthalmologists, optometrists and opticians take the time to talk with you, our patient, about what is important to you and how your lifestyle, work and hobbies are affected by your vision. We are careful to prescribe and recommend eye care solutions and work hard to improve your eye health and quality of life. We take pride in our large selection of services, from well-vision and prescription glasses to the treatment of eye disease and surgical care. Specialties available in our Stanwood office include:

Cataract Surgery Care

With age, proteins can clump on the lens of your eye, creating cloudy vision. Nearly half of people 75 and older have cataracts. Fortunately, restoring clear vision is both quick and easy with cataract surgery. Our ophthalmologist removes your hazy natural lens and then inserts an intraocular lens (IOL), which provides clearer vision immediately. Cataracts cannot redevelop on an artificial lens, so the results are permanent.

RLE (Refractive Lens Exchange) Care

RLE is another refractive procedure for overcoming myopia, hyperopia, and astigmatism without needing to wear prescription lenses. Your ophthalmologist carefully removes your eye’s natural lens and then inserts an intraocular lens (IOL) in its place to correct your vision. With monofocal and multifocal lenses available, your ophthalmologist can recommend a premium lens that best achieves your vision goals.

LASIK and Refractive Care

If you do not want to wear glasses or contact lenses to correct refractive errors such as nearsightedness, farsightedness, and astigmatism, you may decide to have LASIK. This quick, nearly painless refractive surgery reshapes your cornea with a laser to significantly improve vision at many distances, providing 20/20 vision or better for many patients. Cascadia Eye has advanced technology that enables us to perform LASIK and refractive surgery with the utmost precision and safety.

Diabetic Retinopathy

Diabetic Retinopathy in Stanwood

Diabetic retinopathy is a common condition for people who have diabetes. Unmanaged blood sugar spikes can cause blood vessels in the retina (located at the back of the eye) to leak and damage the optic nerve, which can gradually lead to blindness. Medications and laser treatments can help to close leaky blood vessels and prevent the generation of new faulty blood vessels to protect your optic nerve. If you have diabetes, it is important to undergo regular eye exams to diagnose diabetic retinopathy if it arises.

Vision Exams

Vision exam

When is the last time you had a vision exam? Regular vision exams are important for patients with generally healthy eyes. They generally include baseline measurements to measure your visual acuity as well as basic testing. They also include screenings for eye disease; if any is found, you may need to schedule a separate medical eye exam to address your diagnosis with a specialist. If you wear (or should wear) glasses or contacts, vision tests are important for updating your prescription. Vision exams are billed differently than comprehensive medical eye exams and may be covered by vision plans.

Comprehensive Medical Eye Exams

Eye exam test

The need for comprehensive medical eye examination is critical, particularly as you get older, since so many debilitating eye diseases become more common with age. A comprehensive eye test can catch disorders like glaucoma, macular degeneration, cataracts, and a long list of retinal conditions. Early detection and prompt treatment are usually the best ways to preserve your eyesight. Comprehensive Medical Eye Exams are billed differently than vision exams and are not covered by vision plans.

iLUX Treatments for Dry Eye

Dry eyes can be very sore and painful and can even interfere with your vision. Meibomian Gland Dysfunction (MGD) is a factor in as many as 86% of dry eye cases, and is caused by clogged ducts in your eyelids. Many patients find relief from MGD with help from an iLUX treatment program. iLUX is a quick, in-house application that uses gentle pressure and warmth to improve your symptoms and keep your eyes more healthy over your lifetime. It has also been shown to improve surgical outcomes.
