• Macular Degeneration
  Macular degeneration affects cells in the macula, the part of the retina responsible for central vision. Central vision is essential for most basic tasks like reading, driving, recognizing people, etc. Although macular degeneration leaves peripheral vision un-impaired, it can be quite debilitating in its advanced state.
• Laser Eye Surgery
  If your eye is shaped differently, such as with astigmatism, you may think you can’t wear contacts. Likewise, you might not expect you could wear them if you’ve had a corneal transplant or other eye surgery. While it’s true that these situations require special care, it’s still possible for you to wear and enjoy contact lenses.
• Cataracts
  General eye exams can diagnose a variety of eye conditions early on and are the best way to preserve good vision. For children, strabismus (crossed eye) and amblyopia (lazy eye) can often be diagnosed and treated in early childhood, avoiding life-long vision impairment. Also, rare eye conditions from birth (like congenital cataracts) can be diagnosed and treated. For all ages, refraction tests can determine whether prescription eyewear would be beneficial, and what power is necessary. Furthermore, many debilitating eye diseases can be diagnosed before noticeable symptoms occur, potentially making the difference between minor damage and major vision loss.
• Cataract Surgery
  Cataract surgery is an outpatient procedure, allowing you to rest comfortably in your own home while you recuperate. Recovering from cataract surgery can seem quick, and you may feel ready to return to normal activity the next day. However, you’ll want to give your eye the time and rest it needs to heal properly.
• 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. There is no pain or discomfort associated with an exam, and they typically take less than an hour.
