- GlaucomaGlaucoma is a disease that affects and damages the eye’s optic nerve. A buildup of fluid in the eye causes damage to the optic nerve, which may be accompanied by a rise in intraocular pressure. The optic nerve carries information from the eye to the brain, so when it’s damaged – vision loss will occur.
- OphthalmologyNeuro-ophthalmology is an ophthalmic subspecialty that addresses the relationship between the eyes, the optic nerve, and the brain.
- Macular DegenerationAge-related macular degeneration (AMD) is a degenerative disease that can slowly steal your central vision. AMD causes the macula, the center of the retina, to deteriorate, causing dark spots and vision loss. However, peripheral vision should remain unaffected.
- Laser Eye SurgeryLaser eye surgery has become a popular procedure to achieve clear vision without glasses or contacts. Our experienced ophthalmologists are highly knowledgeable about the associated risks and rewards of refractive surgery.
- CataractsThe eye’s natural lens refracts light rays to help us see clearly. When we are young, the lens is clear, but as we age, it can become cloudy. When the lens begins to cloud, vision can become blurry, hazy, or discolored. Typically, this occurrence is referred to as the development of cataracts.
- Cataract SurgeryAn intraocular lens (IOL) is an artificial lens used to replace the eye’s natural lens during cataract surgery or clear/refractive lens exchange |(CLE/RLE). The natural crystalline lens refracts light as it enters the eye, focusing it on the retina to create the images we see. As we age, the lens can become cloudy, which we refer to as a cataract.
- Eye ExamIf you’re experiencing symptoms you suspect may be associated with a neuro-ophthalmologic disorder, we’ll be happy to evaluate you. This evaluation will be more extensive than a typical eye exam and may take a few hours.
- Multiple SclerosisOptic neuritis is the swelling of the eye’s optic nerve, causing vision loss and pain. Optic neuritis is a common symptom of multiple sclerosis.
- Diabetes Care
- Diabetic RetinopathyDiabetic retinopathy occurs when the blood vessels in the retina begin to swell, leak, or close off. Additionally, new, abnormal, leaky blood vessels can grow in the retina, all of which can cause vision loss.
- BotoxBotox is a brand of toxin produced by the bacterium Clostridium botulinum. Botox is a type of botulinum toxin, more specifically onabotulinumtoxinA, and its primary use is to prevent muscle movement.
