• Emergency Care
  A sudden increase in eye floaters, especially those accompanied by flashes of light or a loss of peripheral vision, could indicate an eye emergency. If you experience those symptoms, you should contact your eye doctor immediately or go to the emergency room.

Ophthalmologists

• Glaucoma
  What is commonly called “glaucoma” is actually a family of diseases. The common feature of this disease family is progressive atrophy (degeneration) of the nerve of the eye (the optic nerve), which initially leads to loss of peripheral (side) vision. Total vision loss can occur later in the course of the disease.
• Ophthalmology
  Dr. Tadrus chose the field of ophthalmology because it offers a unique way of improving patients quality of life. He says “Eyecare clinical treatment provides me the opportunity to bond with and care for patients, as well as perform surgery which allows me to directly intervene to improve their vision. What motivates me is seeing the joy that patients have after treatment. Enhancing or correcting vision is very rewarding because it empowers patients, and I find their reactions truly inspiring.”
• Macular Degeneration
  The central part of the Retina is called the “macula.” If one looks directly at an object, then the image from the object is centered on the macula part of the retina. The macula is responsible for our fine, detailed vision straight in front of us. This is in contrast to our peripheral vision, which encompasses a much larger area on each side but lacks detail. Macular Degeneration is unfortunately a common, degenerative disease affecting this crucial area of central vision in many seniors who come for their care to Access Eye. The disease has a “dry” and a “wet” type having to do with whether there is leakage of fluid from the aberrant growth of blood vessels in the retina. Although still a formidable disease and a serious public health concern, many advances have been made in the diagnosis and treatment of this disease within the past two decades.
• Laser Eye Surgery
  Refractive errors like nearsightedness, farsightedness and astigmatism typically need to be corrected with eyewear like glasses or contacts. Patients who wish to see without the need for eyewear may opt for refractive surgery like LASIK. During LASIK, the ophthalmologist creates a small flap in the cornea. Beneath that flap, the ophthalmologist carefully reshapes the imperfect part of the cornea with LASIK.
• Cataracts
  A cataract is the natural lens inside the eye when it becomes cloudy and yellow, which in turn clouds the vision.
• Cataract Surgery
  For many, hearing the word “surgery” may be scary, but once you understand what cataract surgery is and the life changing benefits it can provide, you should look forward to it. The following information is meant to help you make that decision. Please be sure to review this material prior to your pre-operative appointment.
• Eye Exam
  At Access Eye our optometrists perform a thorough and comprehensive exam for our patients to ensure your overall eye health is addressed. An eye exam appointment at Access Eye begins with a conversation with your optometrist’s technician. The technician will ask you questions about your current health, medical history, family history of eye problems and any medications you take. The technician will also ask you if you are currently experiencing any symptoms or problems with your eyes or vision. This information is then relayed to your optometrist for review.

Endocrinologist

• Diabetes Care
• Endocrinology
  From the age of 10, Dr. Mansouri knew he would one day become a doctor.  With hard work and dedication, he did just that and received many accolades along the way. He was elected First in Class 91′-92′,  he was awarded the Mary Anne and Bruce Johnson award: given annually to single premedical graduating senior who, in the judgement of the faculty, has the best potential.  He received many subject matter awards including, Highest grades in MI Physiology, Cell Biology, Genetics, Embryology, Immunology and Immunology as well as MII Endocrinology, Neuroscience and Reproduction, and was voted Best Intern of the Year.
• Diabetic Retinopathy
  Diabetic retinopathy is a serious eye condition that affects people with diabetes. When left unmanaged, diabetic retinopathy can cause permanent vision loss and even blindness. Patients who have diabetes must be careful to control their blood sugar to avoid sometimes-irreversible damage to their sight. Fortunately, the talented doctors at Access Eye in Fredericksburg, Spotsylvania, Stafford and King George, VA have the experience and knowledge to help their patients with diabetes preserve as much of their vision as possible.

Radiologist

• Ultrasound
  During cataract surgery the physician uses a small ultrasound instrument to break up the cataract and gently remove it from the eye. All this is done through a tiny incision, which usually requires no stitches. In replacement of the natural lens/cataract that has been removed, everyone receives an intraocular lens implant (IOL). This lens is implanted inside the eye and intended to stay.

Plastic Surgeons

• Eyelid Surgery
  During the initial consultation for eyelid surgery, you and the surgeon will discuss your treatment goals, medical history and any medical conditions that you have had that affected your eyes. You will be asked about any previous surgeries and medications that you take.
• Blepharoplasty
  Blepharoplasty is a functional surgical procedure. It is intended to reshape the upper eyelid or lower eyelid and is performed by removing or repositioning excess tissue as well as reinforcing surrounding muscles and tendons. When an excessive amount of upper eyelid skin is present, the skin may hang over the eyelashes and cause a loss of peripheral vision. The outer and upper parts of the visual field are most commonly affected and the condition may cause difficulty with activities such as driving or reading. In this circumstance, upper eyelid blepharoplasty is performed to improve peripheral vision.

Allergists
