- Macular DegenerationDr. Nilsson joined Coastal Vision as an employee for several years before purchasing the practice with his other partners. He performed several rotations in Optometry school that had emphasis on ocular disease management. It was during these rotations that he initially learned the skills to medically manage patients with dry eye, diabetes, macular degeneration, and other issues of the eyes. It was during the last 10 years of treating patients in private practice that he has been able to hone these skills to properly manage any ocular problems you are having. While treatment is important, it also needs to be done in a manner that allows you to be comfortable and understand your diagnosis.

- Eye Exam€œMore than 50% of our brain is involved in the intricate pathways involving sight, eye movements and visual information processing. Every day we use this sense with incredible precision. One glitch in the road can offset the multitudes of pathways and make our daily tasks quiet challenging. Whether it’s driving, working, or going to school we use our eyes to collect information from our surrounding. Not only is it important to have a thorough eye exam yearly for adults, but also for children. Many kids struggle in school due to an underlying ocular issue. My training and passion is to provide thorough eye exams and appropriate treatment modalities include vision rehabilitation for not only the pediatric population, but also the brain injury population whose world has just turned upside down.â€

- Multiple SclerosisThe optic nerve connects the eye directly to the brain and is to some extent an extension of the central nervous system. Swelling or inflammation of the optic nerve can therefore be viewed as an early sign of multiple sclerosis.
