- Infectious DiseasesBased on this and studies conducted by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), NIOSH recommends that animal handlers, medical workers, janitorial workers and laboratory employees all exercise eye care by protecting their eyes with special eyewear. This isn’t just for direct-impact injuries, but also for protecting the eyes from infectious diseases that may use your eyes’ mucous membranes as a point of infection. Coughing, sneezing and blood can all transfer illness to you through exposed eyes.
- GlaucomaGlaucoma is caused by degeneration of the optic nerve. The pressure inside the eye, known as intraocular pressure (IOP) affects this nerve. When the aqueous humor (a clear liquid that normally flows in and out of the eye) cannot drain properly, pressure builds up in the eye. The resulting increase in IOP can damage the optic nerve and lead to vision loss.

- Macular DegenerationWhat? The most common source of ultraviolet radiation is emitted from the sun. There are three types: UV-A, UV-B and UV-C. With prolonged exposure, these rays have been proven to not only damage skin and cause skin cancer but also damage the eyes. Research has shown a connection between UV exposure and conditions like cataracts, photokeratitis, macular degeneration, pterygia and more.
- Laser Eye SurgeryRosin Eyecare offers easy payment plans, but we gladly accept insurance as well! Insurance plans often pay for our comprehensive eye exams, and they may also offer discounts on procedures such as LASIK. Listed below are most of the insurance plans and companies that we accept. Be sure to double check with your provider, and when in doubt don’t hesitate to give us a call as well.
- CataractsA cataract is a slow, progressive clouding of the eye’s natural lens. It interferes with light passing through the eye to the retina. Cataracts are caused by a change in the proteins of the eye, which causes clouding or discoloration of the lens. Over time, cataracts typically result in blurred or fuzzy vision and sensitivity to light.
- Cataract SurgeryOur ophthalmologists are properly trained to complete different surgical procedures including LASIK and cataract surgery. LASIK is becoming increasingly popular in the world today due to its ability to correct vision in a non-invasive manner. This procedure uses small lasers that reshape the cornea to improve astigmatism, nearsightedness, and farsightedness. Another surgical procedure we offer is cataract surgery to rid the eye of the clouding that forms over the natural lens. This procedure is not long but does require a small incision to replace the cloudy lens with a new one.
- Eye ExamUnfortunately, not everyone is an ideal candidate for a contact lens prescription. At Rosin Eyecare before your optometrist fits you for lenses, you need to undergo a comprehensive eye examination. This ensures that your eyes are in good enough health to wear contact lenses, as certain conditions—even difficult-to-detect ones—preclude the wearing of contacts. When your exam is complete, your eye doctor will be able to determine which types of contacts are best for your eyes.
- Diabetes Care
- Diabetic RetinopathyEarly detection is crucial because laser treatment that begins when the patient still has severe non-proliferative diabetic retinopathy—before the disease reaches the more severe state of proliferative diabetic retinopathy—is associated with a 50% reduction in the risk of severe vision loss and need for surgery.
