• Primary Care
  A careful eye examination by an ophthalmologist is extremely important when symptoms occur. Inflammation inside the eye can permanently affect sight or even lead to blindness if it is not treated. Your ophthalmologist will examine the inside of your eye. He or she may order blood tests, skin tests or X-rays to help make the diagnosis. Since uveitis can be associated with disease in other parts of the body, your ophthalmologist will want to know about your overall health. He or she may want to consult with your primary care physician or other medical specialists.

Ophthalmologists

• Glaucoma
  From the beginning, the doctors of Eye Associates knew they were creating something special. For example, when the practice co-sponsored free glaucoma screenings in its downtown Albuquerque office, lines stretched around the block, and the staff worked into the night to help check thousands of people for early signs of the vision-threatening disorder. When a specialist went to operate in a distant office, the technical team bundled into the car as well–something that happens less often today because of on-site technical staff. And as those early patients returned for checkups, with family members who needed care, or even just to say hello, the staff became more and more familiar with their needs and their lives.
• Ophthalmology
  Before Eye Associates began, eye care in New Mexico pretty much consisted of general ophthalmology or optometry practices addressing basic concerns, while patients with more complex cases were sent outside the state. Today, all that has changed as thousands turn to Eye Associates of New Mexico for both ordinary and urgent needs.
• Macular Degeneration
  Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) is a disease associated with aging that gradually destroys sharp, central vision. Central vision is needed for seeing objects clearly and for common daily tasks such as reading and driving.
• Laser Eye Surgery
  Eye Associates was also the first physician group in New Mexico to establish a stand-alone eye surgery center. Its regional center in Santa Fe makes it especially easy for patients to receive the full continuum of care by combining eye surgery facilities, examination rooms, and an optical shop in a single location. And in a unique collaboration, Eye Associates has joined with a group of local ophthalmologists and Presbyterian Hospital to create the Albuquerque Ambulatory Eye Surgery Center, a surgical facility dedicated to the full range of eye surgery for the benefit of patients throughout the Southwestern United States.
• Cataracts
  Floaters are more likely to develop as we age and are more common in people who are very nearsighted, have diabetes, or who have had a cataract operation. There are other, more serious causes of floaters, including infection, inflammation (uveitis), hemorrhaging, retinal tears, and injury to the eye.

• Eye Exam
  Map-dot-fingerprint dystrophy, which tends to occur in both eyes, usually affects adults between the ages of 40 and 70, although it can develop earlier in life. Also known as epithelial basement membrane dystrophy, map-dot-fingerprint dystrophy gets its name from the unusual appearance of the cornea during an eye examination.

Endocrinologist

• Diabetes Care
• Diabetic Retinopathy
  Diabetic retinopathy is the most common diabetic eye disease and a leading cause of blindness in American adults. It is caused by changes in the blood vessels of the retina.

Radiologist

• X-Rays

Surgeons

• Reconstructive Surgery

Plastic Surgeons

• Botox
• Eyelid Surgery
  The eyelids provide covering of the eyeball, allow for the tears to spread across the eye, and provide protection for the delicate structures of the eye. Certain conditions can cause irregularity of the eyelids, including drooping of the upper lids and poor eyelid closure. Skin cancer can also affect the eyelids. Abnormalities of the eye’s drainage system can lead to chronic tearing and eye irritation. Eyelid surgery, known as oculoplastic surgery, can help alleviate many of the issues that affect the lids. The benefits can be both cosmetic and medical. Since the eyelids are so critical to the overall health of the eye, many eyelid surgeries are considered medically necessary.
