General Practitioners

• Emergency Care
  Refrain from purchasing sparklers. Heating up to 2,000 degrees or hotter, sparklers are the number one cause of firework injuries requiring trips to the emergency room.

Ophthalmologists

• Glaucoma
  Glaucoma occurs when pressure inside the eye increases and causes a gradual fluid buildup in the eye. This causes permanent damage to the optic nerve. The optic nerve communicates with the brain. Glaucoma is a leading cause of blindness. It usually occurs gradually without causing pain or other symptoms; you may not experience vision loss until the disease has progressed.
• Ophthalmology

He served his internship at St. Vincent’s Hospital in Indianapolis and his residency in Ophthalmology at Indiana University Medical Center. He also earned a Master’s degree in Health Economics, Policy and Management with distinction from London School of Economics and Political Science. He received his undergraduate degree from Purdue University.
• Macular Degeneration
  The disease occurs when there are changes to the macula, a small portion of the retina that is located in the inside back layer of the eye. The macula records the images we see and sends them to the brain via the optic nerve. Macular degeneration is a loss of central vision.

• Cataracts
  A cataract is a clouding of the lens in the eye that affects vision. The lens is a clear part of the eye that helps to focus light, or an image, on the retina. The retina is the light-sensitive tissue at the back of the eye.
• Cataract Surgery
  The basic lens many patients receive during cataract surgery – which is covered by Medicare and private insurance – can reduce your overall glasses prescription, but does not address astigmatism or that you will need reading glasses. This leaves many people still needing glasses full time.
• Eye Exam
  The American Optometric Association recommends that a child’s first eye exam be done at six months of age with another eye exam every year or two afterwards throughout his or her life.

Endocrinologist

• Diabetic Retinopathy
  Diabetic retinopathy is a serious condition that threatens the eyesight of people who have diabetes. It causes progressive damage to the retina, the light-sensitive lining at the back of the eye.

Plastic Surgeons

• Eyelid Surgery
  Eyelid surgery reduces excess skin from the upper eyelids and reduces bagginess from lower eyelids. This surgery is usually done for cosmetic reasons. However, upper eyelid surgery can also improve sight when drooping upper eyelids get in the way of vision.
