Drs. Cox and Sosa are both Board Certified, Residency Trained Optometrists with over 20 years of experience. Both doctors diagnose and treat eye diseases such as the following:

Glaucoma

Glaucoma is often referred to as the “sneak thief of sight” because this potentially blinding disease does not have any symptoms in its early stages. Using state-of-the-art technology, the doctors at The Eye Center of Uvalde are able to detect and treat glaucoma in its early stages and successfully prevent vision loss. Detection of glaucoma is a priority in every routine eye examination that we perform.

The retina is a nerve layer at the back of your eye that senses light and sends images to your brain. An eye is like a camera. The lens in the front of the eye focuses light onto the retina. You can thin of the retina as the film that lines the back of a camera.

If you have diabetes mellitus, your body does not use and store sugar properly. High blood-sugar (glucose) levels can damage blood vessels in the retina, the nerve layer at the back of the eye that senses light and helps to send images to the brain. The damage to retinal vessels is referred to as diabetic retinopathy.

You may sometimes see small specks or clouds moving in your field of vision. They are called floaters. You can often see them when looking at a plain background, like a blank wall or a blue sky.

Floaters are actually tiny clumps of gel or cells inside the vitreous, the clear jelly-like fluid that fills the inside of your eye.
