She is also experienced in co-managing post-op care for LASIK/PRK and cataract surgery. She fits contact lenses including spherical, astigmatic, multifocal and myopia control.
• Cataracts
  A medical eye exam includes evaluating anything that is outside of the realm of a 'routine eye exam'. Some examples include high risk medication monitoring (plaquenil, tamoxifen, etc), diabetic ocular evaluations, treating and managing glaucoma, detecting and monitoring of retinal issues (maculopathies, retinal thinning, various retinopathies, etc), diagnosing neurological conditions (Horner's syndrome, idiopathic intracranial hypertension, pituitary adenomas, optic neuropathies, cranial nerve palsies), dry eye management, ocular infections, ocular injuries, cataracts, ocular and periocular neoplasms, and systemic vascular conditions (hypertension, high cholesterol).

• Eye Exam
  In some cases, a routine eye exam may lead to medical findings. Each case is evaluated/monitored different. Some evaluations will require additional testing to establish baselines or to provide comparative data to assess future risk. Your doctor will go over the appropriate management, treatment (if applicable), and follow-up with you at your appointment.
