Managing Eye Disease
We believe that diagnosing eye disease early is essential to providing treatment solutions that will help our patients overcome eye disease. Our comprehensive eye exams can help detect eye disease early and begin early treatment.
Our approach to cataracts, glaucoma, and age-related macular degeneration ensures that our patients are informed throughout the treatment process. Eye disease can be stressful to manage, and we’re on your side to help make the diagnosis and treatment as efficient and comfortable as possible.
Common Eye Diseases and Conditions
Eye diseases can affect anyone and come in a variety of different forms. At McCauley Celin Eyecare Associates, we understand how vision changes can impact every part of daily life.
That’s why we take a proactive approach to diagnosing, managing, and treating a wide range of eye conditions. Our goal is to help patients maintain healthy eyes through regular exams, diagnostic imaging, and personalized care plans tailored to their unique needs.
Glaucoma is a group of eye conditions that damage your optic nerve. Glaucoma is especially damaging as your optic nerve carries the information your retina receives to your brain and provides vision.
The damage from glaucoma is usually caused by an abnormally high pressure in your eye. While this disease can occur at any age, it’s usually more common in older adults and is one of the leading causes of blindness for people over 60.
Some common signs and symptoms of glaucoma include:
- Severe eye pain
- Redness in your eye
- Sudden vision disturbance
- Blurred vision
To test for glaucoma in Pittsburgh, our team utilizes the Goldmann applanation tonometry test. Before your test, your eye doctor will use numbing eye drops. Your eye doctor will then place a slit lamp in front of you and proceed to flatten your cornea slightly to determine the pressure in your eye.
Our experienced team will carefully measure your eye pressure and get the proper pressure reading to begin treatment.
A cataract is a dense, cloudy area that can form in the normally clear lens of your eye. A cataract begins forming when proteins in your eye form clumps that may prevent the lens from sending clear images to your retina.
The appearance of a cataract can make it harder for you to perform daily activities such as reading or driving a vehicle.
Common signs and symptoms of cataracts include:
- Blurry vision
- Difficulty seeing at night
- Double vision
- An increased sensitivity to glare
Cataracts may develop slowly, and you may not notice the vision loss until they are at an advanced stage. Regular eye exams can help monitor vision concerns and assist with early detection. There are a few underlying causes of cataracts to be aware of, such as:
- Smoking
- Ultraviolet radiation
- Diseases like diabetes
- Previous eye trauma
Cataracts can progressively worsen and eventually affect your ability to perform daily activities such as reading or driving safely. When this occurs, cataract surgery is the only option to remove them.
Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) is a progressive age-related condition that affects your central vision when natural aging causes damage to your macula. Untreated macular degeneration blurs your vision and is one of the leading causes of blindness in people over 55.
There are 2 main types of macular degeneration:
- Dry AMD is the most common form of the disease and develops in 3 stages, early, intermediate, and late. Dry AMD progresses over several years, and while there is no cure, prevention methods such as monitoring your smoking habits and a healthy diet can help manage the disease.
- Wet AMD is the less common form of the disease but is more severe. Wet AMD symptoms appear quickly and worsen rapidly, and occurs when abnormal blood vessels grow in the back of your eyes and damage your macula. Like dry AMD, monitoring your diet and smoking habits can help manage the disease.

Our Patients are Saying
I cannot say enough about how kind and helpful the staff is. The office and exam rooms are clean, comfortable and updated. Dr. Frank Celin was professional, personable and knowledgeable about my eye conditions nystagmus and strabismus. He took his time and treated me with care. The staff spent at least an hour helping me pick out and narrow down frames from a great, selection. After trying a few different ophthalmologists over the years, I feel very comfortable in Dr. Celin’s care and will be going back.

With 3 office locations it is ideal for selecting an appointment time and area that is convenient for you. The staff at each office are helpful, knowledgeable, friendly and ready to help when you need it. The doctors are professional yet friendly, thorough yet timely. If you haven’t gone to this practice, go. McCauley, Celin Eyegroup I think leads the area for excellence in Eyecare!

My experiences have always been more than anticipated. The staff and doctors continue to do more than ever expected. Interested in a patients view/treatment at their offices and exceptional frames. I have family from out of town who book their appointments here because they feel their care is in best hands from lasik info and contacts to their frames and lenses. Still the best!

I switched from Dr. Prazer (and his own practice) to Dr. Caitlin McCauley when I had to change insurance several years ago. I was reluctant to switch, but I soon found that Dr. McCauley was just as wonderful and knowledgeable.

Everyone is so nice in their offices. The other day I kept the office person on the phone for the longest time trying to find the best appt time. She never even flinched! I felt so bad wasting her time but she made me feel so comfortable. Exceptional selection of glasses, and seriously sincere staff and physicians. I would recommend them to anyone. I chose this office after a bad experience with a local competing office and I am quite please with my choice!
Lindsi D
They have 3 local offices was extensive hours. They can even accommodate patients on evenings and weekends! I saw Dr. Robert McCauley. I found him to be very pleasant and knowledgeable. The waiting room is very clean and brightly lit. As I went in the evening it was nice and quiet. It almost doesn’t matter though. Both times that I went I was taken promptly and even a little early! I only went for my contacts so I don’t have any comments regarding their frames department, but I will be sure to come back once I need new glasses.

I have been coming here for years and not once has any visit been below fantastic service. My appointments have been on time and I’m usually in and out within an hour. I once tried to visit a new eye doctor where I worked out of convenience and it was a terrible mistake. No matter what section of town I live in, I will always make it a mission to keep my business here.
Douglas D
This is the best most thorough place you can go for eye care. The selection of glasses frames is excellent and you can be sure you are getting a thorough eye exam. The staff are friendly professional and we’ll informed.

Terrific practice! Relocated last year from the east coast and a friend suggested this group. Dr. Lindsay and her team are highly skilled professionals, who genuinely have their patients best interests. I appreciate Dr. Lindsays’ sincere effort ensuring the eyewear I choose will meet my professional and personal needs. Awesome Doctor!
Robert D
Beyond helpful and patient. Dr. Lindsay is amazing and was able to find a pair of contacts for me to wear after 10+ years of being stuck wearing only glasses. The entire staff, and Dennis in particular, are always there for you if you ever need anything. A++ service.
