Ophthalmologists

• Glaucoma
  Over two million Americans are affected by glaucoma, and half of them do not realize it. Some ethnic groups and demographics are more susceptible to this disease than others. Mexican-Americans over the age of sixty are at great risk of having glaucoma. The goal of glaucoma therapy at Gulf Coast Eye Institute is to preserve the patient’s current level of vision and to prevent further vision loss.
• Laser Eye Surgery
  We use the latest laser technology in our LASIK vision correction procedure to ensure that your vision is better than it has ever been. If you are nearsighted, farsighted, or suffer from astigmatism, you may qualify for the LASIK eye procedure. This laser procedure allows us to reshape your corneal surface giving your eyes a better lens to focus through.
• Cataracts
  Cataracts is the most common eye condition that occurs in people over the age of fifty and currently affects over 22 million Americans. This condition occurs when the internal lens of a person’s eye becomes clouded. This clouding is caused by the proteins that make up the lens clumping together and preventing clear vision.
