Protect Your Eyesight from Disease

At Total Vision Chino Hills, formerly Crum Optometric Group, we screen for several eye diseases during every comprehensive eye exam. Our industry-leading diagnostic technology is designed to catch eye diseases in their early stages when they’re easier to treat and manage.

With retinal imaging, we can see even very small, early signs of damage from glaucoma, diabetic retinopathy, and age-related macular degeneration, typically without the need to dilate your eyes. And when your eyes are healthy, retinal imaging provides us a baseline to compare with as the years go on.

Many eye diseases can progress without warning signs or symptoms and affect every age group. Your routine eye exam is the best defense against eye disease, and our optometrists will help protect your vision.

Precision Tools for Accurate Diagnosis

Our diagnostic technology empowers us to precisely monitor your eye health, allowing for more timely and effective care. Our diagnostic tools include:

Retinal Imaging: We capture detailed, high-resolution pictures of the retina, helping detect conditions like glaucoma, macular degeneration, diabetic retinopathy, and more.
Visual Field Testing: By mapping your peripheral vision, this test aids in detecting and monitoring glaucoma and other eye disorders that affect your visual field.
Corneal Topography: This technology maps the surface of the cornea to identify irregularities. It’s essential for detecting and monitoring keratoconus, to help guide effective treatment.

Glaucoma Testing in Every Eye Exam

We provide visual field testing as part of your routine eye exam to help us detect glaucoma. This disease is manageable if caught in the early stages, and our optometrists work hard to preserve your vision.

Glaucoma is called the “silent thief of sight” because the disease typically advances slowly before causing symptoms. Most patients don’t notice a change in their vision until glaucoma is in its advanced stages. That’s why it’s essential for us to perform a visual field test in your eye exam.

Glaucoma is a group of diseases that progressively damage the optic nerve. Older adults are most at risk from glaucoma, but there are occurrences of this disease in younger people.

Screening for Age-Related Macular Degeneration

Your eye exam with us includes screening for AMD.

AMD is the leading cause of vision loss in adults over 50. As this condition worsens, it may affect the quality of your central vision, resulting in straight lines appearing blurry or a blank area in the center of your vision.

The macula is at the center of your retina, and its primary purpose is to provide sharp, precise central vision. A gradual breakdown of the macula can cause age-related macular degeneration (AMD), and the risk of AMD grows as we age.

Diabetic Eye Exams to Support Lifelong Vision

For our patients with diabetes, we recommend annual dilated eye exams with retinal imaging to monitor for the first signs of diabetic eye disease, including diabetic retinopathy and diabetic macular edema.

Retinal imaging provides us a detailed view of your eye’s structures, allowing us to identify even subtle changes caused by high blood sugar levels. Dilated eye exams help us examine areas of the retina that are otherwise difficult to see, ensuring a thorough evaluation.

Early detection is crucial in preventing vision loss and managing long-term eye health, which is why we emphasize proactive, personalized care for our patients with diabetes. Our goal is to help you safeguard your vision before complications arise.

Diagnosis & Surgery Co-Management for Cataracts

Cataracts are a normal part of aging, and there are many ways we can help.

In early stages of cataracts, make sure you come see us for an eye exam so we can update your prescription to give you clearer vision. Eventually, our patients with cataracts require surgery to replace the natural lens of the eye.

Cataract surgery is very common. We can support you before and after to explain what you can expect and check that your eyes are healing as expected. We can recommend a trusted surgeon in the area to perform your surgery.

Symptoms of cataracts include:

Cloudy vision
Dimmed vision
Faded color vision
Sensitivity to light or glare

If you notice any changes in your vision, please schedule an appointment with us.

Detecting & Managing Keratoconus

With a quick, noninvasive corneal topography scan in an eye exam with us, we can assess whether you or your child have a corneal condition called keratoconus.

Symptoms of keratoconus can include:

Distorted vision
Sensitivity to bright light
Sudden clouding or worsening of vision
Frequent changes to prescriptions

It’s essential to diagnose keratoconus as early as possible so that appropriate interventions can be implemented. If you or your child are experiencing vision problems or a rapidly changing prescription, please come see us for an eye exam.

The cornea is a dome-shaped structure covering the front of the eye. But the cornea structure can weaken and thin in some individuals, taking on a cylindrical or cone-like shape. Keratoconus often begins between the ages of 10 and 25.

For our patients with keratoconus, we can provide glasses and contact lenses to provide better vision. We can also recommend trusted surgeons for corneal cross-linking, and support you or your child before and after surgery.

Quick Diagnosis for Pink Eye (Conjunctivitis)

Parents may recognize conjunctivitis by its more famous nickname: pink eye.

The transparent layer that covers the sclera (the whites of the eyes) is called the conjunctiva. When the conjunctiva becomes infected, the small blood vessels in the eye become inflamed and irritated. These swollen vessels cause the eye to appear pink (hence the nickname!).

There are many types of conjunctivitis, but viral or bacterial infections are most common. Viral and bacterial conjunctivitis are highly contagious. Ask any school teacher!

Luckily, our optometrists can easily diagnose conjunctivitis and treat the symptoms, but the treatments vary depending on the type. Please contact us if you notice any of the following symptoms:

Redness in one or both eyes
Itchiness eyes
Gritty feelings in one or both eyes
Discharge in one or both eyes
Crusting in the eyes that forms during the night
Tearing
