Ophthalmologists

• Ophthalmology
  IntraLase® has brought ultra-fast laser technology to the field of ophthalmology with the use of the femtosecond laser. It generates light pulses as short as one-quadrillionth of a second. This infrared laser creates today's most accurate corneal flaps.
• Laser Eye Surgery
  Dr. Maurer has taught LASIK surgery to fellow ophthal­mologists and maintains certification on all VISX excimer lasers, including the latest generation Star S4 tracking laser and the CustomVue platform for individualized LASIK.
• Cataracts
  A cataract is the clouding of the lens of eye. Normally, light passes through the clear lens and is focused onto the retina.
• Cataract Surgery
  W ith the formation of a cataract, activities like reading, bowl­ing, or driving can be diffi­cult. Fortunately, vision can be restored quickly, allowing the patient to return home within a few hours. With new advances in cataract surgery, noticed vision improvement begins almost immediately, and an eye patch isn't even needed.
• Eye Exam
  Though vision may gradually become blurred, significant loss of sight does not usually occur with background retinopa­thy. Since the patient does not experience pain or external symptoms such as bloodshot eyes or discharge, changes in the retina can go unnoticed unless detected by an eye examination.

• Diabetes Care
• Diabetic Retinopathy
  D iabetic retinopathy is the leading cause of blindness among adults. Approximately, 25% of current diabetics have some form of the disease. The risk of developing diabetic retinopathy increases with the age of the diabetic person and the duration of the dis­ease. It is estimated that 90% of diabetics may experience some form of diabetic retinopathy over the course of their life. However, only a small percentage of those developing diabetic retinopathy have serious vision problems and even a smaller percentage become blind.

Radiologist

• Ultrasound
  Ultrasound is used to gently break-up (or emulsify) the cloudy lens into tiny pieces which can be removed through the tip of the phaco probe instead of a wide inci­sion. A spe­cial lens can then be implanted through the smaller incision.

Plastic Surgeons

• Botox
  Dr. Maurer has also attended many continuing education courses for further training in eyelid plastic and cosmetic surgery, including the recent Botox, blepharoplasty (eyelid lift) and laser rejuvenation course sponsored by the University of California Medical Center and proctored by nationally recognized experts in the field.
