Services
We provide comprehensive eye care to patients of all ages.
Our services include not only laser vision correction and small-incision cataract surgery but also treatments for a range of conditions such as glaucoma, the diabetic eye, dry eye and macular degeneration.
Regular eye exams are an invaluable tool in maintaining your eyes' health by detecting and preventing disease.
Some diseases develop slowly without causing pain or vision loss.
Early detection of any problems can reduce the risk of further harm and allow for a choice of treatment options.
During cataract surgery, your doctor replaces the clouded, blurry area of the lens with an artificial one to correct vision.
However, after surgery, many people experience a gradual clouding on the covering of the new lens, a condition known as after cataract or secondary membrane.
Clouding is the most common complication of cataract surgery and can cause blurred vision to return, but a solution is available to treat this side effect.
A procedure called a posterior capsulotomy, using an Nd: YAG laser, can be performed to remove the back lining of the lens capsule and let light pass through to the retina.
The macula is a part of the retina in the back of the eye that ensures that our central vision is clear and sharp.
Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) occurs when the arteries that nourish the retina harden.
Deprived of nutrients, the retinal tissues begin to weaken and die, causing vision loss.
Patients may experience anything from a blurry, gray or distorted area to a blind spot in the center of vision.
AMD is the number-one cause of vision loss in the U.S. Macular degeneration doesn't cause total blindness because it doesn't affect the peripheral vision.
The eye is a complex organ that works much like a camera, focusing light rays and forming an image.
On the surface of the eye is the cornea, a thin, spherical layer of tissue that provides a clear window for light to pass through.
In a healthy eye, the cornea bends or refracts light rays so they focus precisely on the retina in the back of the eye.
Beneath the cornea is the iris, the colored part of the eye we refer to when we say a person has brown or blue eyes.
In the center of the iris is the pupil.
