• Glaucoma
  Traditional glaucoma surgeries are both a safe and effective way to treat glaucoma by decreasing intraocular pressure, preventing further vision loss, and stopping the progression of the disease. It is sometimes the preferred method of treatment depending on the patient’s condition. It is typically performed as a trabeculectomy, or involves the insertion of a drainage device. Following surgery, patients may experience discomfort in the eye that may last for a few days, and should avoid bending or lifting heavy objects for at least a week. It is also advised that patients avoid wearing eye makeup, getting water in they eye, or swimming for at least 4 weeks to avoid infection.

• Macular Degeneration
• Laser Eye Surgery
  LASEK (laser epithelial keratomileusis) is a relatively new type of corrective laser eye surgery. It employs an alcohol solution to loosen the very outer layer (epithelium) of the cornea. Once the laser correction has been performed, this epithelial flap is replaced as a sort of natural bandage.
• Cataracts
  A cataract is an opacity that clouds the natural lens inside the eye. Normally the path of light to the retina (where the light sensors are) is as clear as possible. When proteins that make up the lens clump together, the resulting cataract blocks some of the light making vision blurry or hazy.
• Cataract Surgery
  During cataract surgery, an artificial lens known as an intraocular lens (IOL) will be inserted into your eye to replace the natural lens that was removed. IOLs are made of soft, flexible silicone or acrylic and are similar to prescription glasses or contact lenses in the sense that they have different focusing powers (or prescription strengths). A measurement of your eye will be necessary to determine the appropriate power for your IOL. There are many different types of IOLs that our patients have the option to choose from...
• Eye Exam
  A thorough eye examination consists of a variety of standard tests designed to measure visual acuity and other vision faculties, as well as observe the health of the eye and check for common eye diseases. General eye exams can diagnose a variety of eye conditions early on and are the best way to preserve good vision.

• Ultrasound
  The biggest advantage to laser-assisted cataract surgery is the precision and consistency it provides. As opposed to traditional cataract surgery, laser-assisted cataract surgery uses a LenSx laser imaging device to trace the surface of the eye. The exact location and size of the incision to be made on the eye is determined. This information is forwarded to the laser, which will make the corneal incision. The laser can also be used to soften the cataract. An ultrasound is then used to break up the cloudy lens and is then suctioned out of the eye. At this point, an artificial intraocular lens (IOL) is inserted.
