• Glaucoma
  When a person suffers from glaucoma there is usually no pain and the patient will begin to lose their peripheral vision in such a slow manner that it is not noticed sometimes for many years.
• Laser Eye Surgery
  Moderate to severe chronic dry eye disease (CDEDx) is and can be a major problem delaying LASIK surgery because preoperative-refractions may not be correct and the corneal flap may not heal well enough to be satisfactory vision.
• Cataracts
  Cataracts are simply a continuum of the growth and gradual change in the clarity and color of the proteins in our lens. If we live long enough every single person will develop cataracts. Cataracts, per say, do not harm our eyes so we take them out when we cannot see well enough to drive safely, read, hunt, play golf, sew, etc.
• Cataract Surgery
  Laser Surgeries – There are two basic laser techniques. One is a painless thermal laser which we use combined with cataract surgery. The laser decreases the tissue involved in making the fluids inside the eye. The most common procedure is Selective Laser Trabeculectomy (SLT). This is a painless cold laser pulse a couple millionths of a second duration that causes the cells in the filter area to die slowly enough that the body replaces the lasered cells with new young normal filtering cells. At Cross Eye Centers we were one of original developers of new, more successful treatment techniques with this laser. Success rate is about 94% and generally lasts 5 to 7 years before surgery is repeated. Patients are able to drive themselves home after treatment. Generally the IOP does not decrease immediately because new cells are being grown and maturing. Hence, most patients finish their current bottle of medications, stay off medications for a week, and then have an IOP check in the office.
