  Dr. Niehoff earned her Bachelor of Science degree in Biology at Indiana University East in Richmond, Indiana in 2014. She earned her Doctorate in Optometry from Indiana University School of Optometry in 2019. Dr. Niehoff began her externship training with the Atwater Eye Care Center in Bloomington focused on eye disease, pediatrics, contact lenses, and primary care.

This training provided her valuable experience in primary eye care, contact lens fitting, eye care testing, management and treatment of ocular diseases including glaucoma & macular degeneration, and optical dispensing. During her training, Dr. Niehoff served as Assistant Instructor with both Anatomy & Physiology of the Eye and Clinical Sciences at Indiana University School of Optometry as well as being a member of the Beta Kappa Sigma Optometric Honor Society.

• Glaucoma
  Glaucoma can affect anyone from newborn infants to the elderly. It has been estimated that up to 3 million Americans have glaucoma. At least half of those people do not know they have it because glaucoma usually has no symptoms. People who are at a greater risk for glaucoma usually have the following conditions...
• Ophthalmology

• Macular Degeneration
  The macula is a part of the retina in the back of the eye that ensures that our central vision is clear and sharp. Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) occurs when the arteries that nourish the retina harden. Deprived of nutrients, the retinal tissues begin to weaken and die, causing vision…
• Cataracts
  A cataract is a common condition that causes a clouding of the eye’s natural lens, and affects millions of people each year, including more than half of all Americans over the age of 65. Cloudiness develops as a result of a buildup of protein in the lens.Cataracts cause a progressive, painless loss of vision. The lens clouds naturally as we age, causing people over the age of 65 to see a gradual reduction of vision. The exact cause of cataracts is unknown, although it may be a result of injury, certain medications, illnesses (such as diabetes), prolonged exposure to ultraviolet light and smoking.
• Cataract Surgery
  Cataract surgery is a minimally invasive procedure that involves numbing the eyes with anesthesia and then making a tiny incision into which an ultrasonic probe is inserted. The probe breaks up, or emulsifies, the cloudy lens into tiny pieces and then suctions them out of the eye. Once the cloudy lens has been removed, a new artificial lens is implanted into the eye. This lens is known as an intraocular lens (IOL), and can often be inserted through the same incision that the old lens was removed from.
• Eye Exam
  Children should have their first eye exam at about age two, although it’s never too early to test a child’s vision and eye health. Comprehensive eye exams are essential in the diagnosis and treatment of vision problems, injury and disease. Early detection allows for treatment to begin before the child experiences difficulty in school due to poor vision, or before any permanent damage has been done to the eye(s). Children’s eye exams test visual acuity, eye tracking, and focusing skills, and detect problems such as nearsightedness, farsightedness, amblyopia, crossed eyes, dyslexia, and color blindness, and should be performed on a yearly basis.

• Diabetes Care
• Diabetic Retinopathy
  Diabetic retinopathy is a complication of diabetes that weakens the blood vessels that supply nourishment to the retina (the light-sensitive lining in the back of the eye where vision is focused). These weak vessels can leak, swell or develop thin branches, causing a loss of vision. Changes to your vision may not be noticeable at first. But in its advanced stages, the disease can cause blurred or cloudy vision, floaters and blind spots – and, eventually, blindness. This damage is irreversible. Diabetic retinopathy is the most common diabetic eye complication and a leading cause of blindness in American adults. Macular edema, which is leaking fluid that causes blurred vision, often occurs with diabetic retinopathy.

• Brow Lift
  Dr. Lee is an experienced oculofacial plastic and orbital surgery specialist who has been practicing in the Indianapolis area. He works closely with referring doctors in treating patients with facial trauma, tumors, eyelid abnormalities, drooping eyelids, anophthalmic sockets, ophthalmic Graves’ disease, and other orbital issues. A cosmetic procedure may be desired to enhance or restore facial appearance. These procedures may include blepharoplasty, brow lift, forehead lift and eyelid procedures.
• Eyelid Surgery
  Non-surgical treatments for dry eye include blinking exercises, increasing humidity at home or work, and use of artificial tears or moisturizing ointment. If these methods fail, small punctal plugs may be inserted in the corners of the eyes to limit tear drainage, or the drainage tubes in the eyes may be surgically closed. Eyelid surgery is also a solution if an eyelid condition is causing your dry eyes.
• Rhinoplasty
  Blepharoplasty is now the most popular facial plastic surgery procedure after rhinoplasty. The popularity of this procedure reflects the importance of the eyes in perfecting overall appearance. In fact, two-thirds of adults consider the eyes to be the defining feature of the face. If you are unhappy with the appearance of your eyes, you may want to consider blepharoplasty to improve your look and boost your confidence through a safe procedure with minimal downtime.

• Blepharoplasty
  An upper blepharoplasty will tighten the muscles and tissue as well as remove excess fat and skin from the upper eyelids. This can eliminate the drooping of the skin into the visual field, improving peripheral vision tremendously.
