Eye Infection Treatments

Some eye infections are highly contagious and can be easily transmitted by simply touching your eye, then touching a common object, such as a television remote, light switch or a doorknob. When another person touches that same object and then touches their own eye, they can easily contract the same infection.

That’s why it’s important to be seen and treated as soon as possible after your first symptoms appear. At William Fruchtman O.D., our eye doctors and technicians have been highly trained to diagnose and treat conditions of the eye.

Depending on the type of eye infection you have, we’ll prescribe a specific course of treatment to return your eye (or eyes) back to normal function. Your treatment may include eye drops, compresses, creams or oral antibiotics.

At William Fruchtman O.D., we have diagnosed and helped to heal many eye infections our patients may have:
  • Pink eye (conjunctivitis)
  • Eye sty
  • Blepharitis
  • Cellulitis
  • Keratitis
  • Corneal Ulcer
  • Trachoma (usually more common in underdeveloped regions)
  • Herpes simplex virus
  • Herpes zoster (shingles)


Your Eye Doctor Specialist for Eye Diseases

Annual eye exams are essential for catching eye diseases in their early stages. Many eye diseases have no early symptoms. They can often be painless, and you may not notice a change in your vision until the disease has become fairly advanced.

At William Fruchtman O.D., we have diagnosed and helped patients with the following eye diseases and conditions:
  • Age-related macular degeneration
  • Bulging eyes
  • Cataracts
  • CMV retinitis
  • Color blindness
  • Crossed eyes (Strabismus)
  • Dry Eye
  • Diabetic macular edema
  • Diabetic Retinopathy
  • Eye floaters
  • Eye flashes
  • Eyelid twitching (continuous)
  • Glaucoma
  • Keratoconus
  • Lazy eye
  • Low vision
  • Ocular hypertension
  • Retinal detachment
  • Uveitis
  • And more!
