About

Matthew Camp, MD

The mission of Georgia Mountain Ophthalmology is to preserve, restore and enhance our patients vision. We are committed to providing expert medical care with compassion in a comfortable and relaxed atmosphere.

Matthew Camp, M.D. is a fellowship trained and Board certified vitreo-retinal surgeon.

Georgia Mountain Ophalmology provides comprehensive eye exams which measure your ability to see and can diagnose a multitude of diseases, including Glaucoma, Age-Relate Macular Degeneration, Retinal Tears and Detachments, and Cataracts, as well as diseases elsewhere in the body such as Diabetes (and diabetic eye disease), Hypertension and inflammatory diseases.

Diabetic retinopathy is detected by an ophthalmologist such as Dr Camp during an extensive eye exam that includes a visual acuity test, pupil dilation, and careful examination of your retina. If Dr. Camp suspects that you have macular edema, he will perform Optical Coherence Tomography (a CAT scan of the eye done without radiation) and perhaps fluorescein
angiography to locate the leaking blood vessels that need treatment.

Macular degeneration is the number-one cause of blindness in the caucasian population in
the United States. It occurs when the macula - a part of the retina in the back of the eye that
ensures that our vision is clear and sharp begins to fail or "degenerates," causing a
progressive loss of vision.

Retinal detachment is a disorder of the eye in which the retina peels away from its underlying
layer of support tissue, much like you would peel wall paper away from the wall. Initial detachment may be localized, but without rapid treatment the entire retina may detach, leading to vision loss and blindness. People who suffer from retinal detachment feel no pain.

Glaucoma, the sneak thief of sight, is the term usually used to indicate an abnormally high
pressure inside the eye which causes optic nerve damage and vision loss. The condition often develops over many years without causing pain - so you may not notice vision loss until the disease is in an advanced stage.

Located on Hwy. 515 in Pickens County, just north of I-575, Georgia Mountain Ophthalmology is conveniently located in order to serve Jasper and the surrounding areas of North Georgia, Canton, and North Metro Atlanta.
