Cataracts

Cataracts

Cataracts are a common age-related vision problem. Researchers estimate more than half of people aged 80 and older have them. At Broadway Family Optometry, Dr. Boris Mardian, OD, focuses on the diagnosis and the progression of cataracts. Using advanced care methods, he can prevent them from progressing and preserve your eyesight for years to come.

Common symptoms of cataracts include:
  • Blurry or dim vision
  • Difficulty seeing things at night
  • Sensitivity to light and glare
  • Seeing halos around lights
  • Double vision
  • The need for brighter light while reading

If you have cataracts, you might also need to change your eyeglasses or contact lens prescription every few months.
Comprehensive Eye Exam

Comprehensive Eye Exam

It’s important to undergo a comprehensive eye exam at least once a year. Routine checkups can alert you to potentially serious health problems and preserve your eyesight for years to come. At Broadway Family Optometry, Dr. Boris Mardian, OD, provides comprehensive eye exams to people of all ages, including LASIK, dry eyes, and contact lens consultations.


How frequently should I schedule a Comprehensive Eye Exam?

At Broadway Family Optometry, Dr. Mardian recommends a comprehensive eye exam at least once a year. That rule applies even if your eyes appear healthy and problem-free.

Some vision-related issues, including glaucoma and cataracts, present few apparent symptoms early on. Regular visits to Dr. Mardian can alert you to these and other issues when they respond best to treatment.

If you have a history of vision-related health problems, more frequent visits may be necessary. That’s especially true if you wear glasses or contact lenses, have a family history of eye disease, or a chronic condition like diabetes that increases your risk of eye problems.
Contact Lens Exams & Fittings

Contact Lens Exams & Fittings

If you have poor vision but don’t want to wear eyeglasses, schedule a contact lens exam and fitting. At Broadway Family Optometry, Dr. Boris Mardian, OD, offers contact lens exams and fittings to people of all ages.


What are contact lens exams and fittings?

Contact lens exams and fittings are outpatient procedures that determine if you’re a good candidate for contact lenses.
Contacts are small, circular discs that rest on the surface of your eye. Contact lenses correct common vision-related problems like farsightedness and nearsightedness without the need for traditional eyeglasses. 

During a contact lens exam and fitting, Dr. Mardian conducts a series of special tests. These tests measure things like visual acuity and the curvature of your eyeballs, ensuring the prescribed contacts fit perfectly.

At Broadway Family Optometry, Dr. Boris Mardian, OD, boasts years of experience diagnosing and treating dry eyes and allergies. Following an in-office exam, he can design a custom care plan that helps to relieve your discomfort.

Common symptoms of dry eyes and allergies include:
  • Stinging, burning, or itchy eyes
  • Sensitivity to light
  • Pink or red eyes
  • Blurred vision

Eye Infections

Eye Infections

Each year, more than one million Americans visit the doctor due to eye infections. Though common, without early diagnosis and treatment, eye infections can affect your vision and quality of life. At Broadway Family Optometry, Dr. Boris Mardian, OD, diagnoses and treats eye infections in people of all ages.

Common symptoms of an eye infection include:
  • Discharge from the eye
  • Red or pink eyes
  • Itchiness in one or both eyes
  • Excessive tears
  • Eyelids that stick together
Glaucoma

Glaucoma

Glaucoma can lead to blindness, but with regular screenings and early detection, you can slow the progression of the disease and protect your vision. Dr. Boris Mardian, OD, and the team at Broadway Family Optometry in Glendale, California, are experienced in detecting and controlling glaucoma.


What is glaucoma?

Glaucoma is an ocular disease that damages your optic nerves. Your optic nerves, located in the back of your eyes, send visual information to your brain, which allows you to see and process images. Glaucoma usually affects both eyes, but it may not develop in both eyes simultaneously, so the disease often affects one eye more than the other.

The underlying cause of glaucoma is increased pressure on the optic nerve. Your eyes contain a fluid called aqueous humor, which serves several functions, including maintaining a healthy level of pressure in your eyes. When this fluid can’t drain as needed, it builds up in the front of your eye, which can damage your optic nerve over time.
LASIK Surgery Consultation

LASIK Surgery Consultation

If you’re tired of wearing eyeglasses or contact lenses, you may consider LASIK surgery. This outpatient procedure can correct your vision in less than an hour. At Broadway Family Optometry, Dr. Boris Mardian, OD, has years of experience performing LASIK surgery.


What is a LASIK surgery consultation?

A LASIK surgery consultation is an in-office appointment that determines whether you’re a good candidate for LASIK surgery. 

LASIK is an outpatient procedure that reshapes the tissue at the front of your eye, improving your vision without the need for eyeglasses or contact lenses.

LASIK can correct the three main types of refractive errors, including nearsightedness, farsightedness, and astigmatism. During treatment, Dr. Mardian uses targeted laser energy to reshape your cornea, resulting in clear, crisp vision both close up and far away.
Pediatric Eye Care

Pediatric Eye Care

Routine pediatric eye care presents an easy and effective way to keep your child’s eyes healthy and problem-free. At Broadway Family Optometry, Dr. Boris Mardian, OD, provides pediatric eye care to children and teens. Using a combination of advanced treatments and diagnostic techniques, he can preserve your child’s sight as they get older.


What is pediatric eye care?

Pediatric eye care diagnoses, treats, and prevents vision-related health problems in children of all ages. At Broadway Family Optometry, Dr. Mardian works alongside your child’s primary care physician to ensure their eyes remain healthy. When children have good vision, they’re better able to perform in the classroom and on the court or playing field.

  • Lazy eye
  • Eye misalignment
  • Pediatric ocular tumors
  • Cataracts
  • Glaucoma
