- Macular DegenerationPatients who are myopic are at a significantly higher risk of developing glaucoma, a retinal detachment, and a specific type of visually debilitating cataract. In addition, patients who are highly myopic are at risk of developing a potentially blinding condition called myopic macular degeneration.
- Laser Eye SurgeryPRK eye surgery provides an excellent alternative treatment option for patients that have myopic, hyperopic, and astigmatic visual errors. PRK and LASIK are similar in many ways, as they are both advanced laser vision correction treatments. However, they do differ in some important ways.
- CataractsFor more than 60 years, the pioneering surgeons of Berkeley Eye Center have helped set the standard in cataract care in Texas and around the world. Even though our methods of cataract removal and lens implantation are embraced globally by colleagues and patients alike, our focus remains right here at home in Houston on your vision.
- Cataract SurgeryAs we mature, the natural lens in our eyes firms and loses it’s flexibility, decreasing it’s ability to keep it’s shape for different ranges of focus. This normal condition is known as prebyopia. Some patients may choose to have a procedure called a Refractive Lensectomy before developing cataracts, in order to correct their presbyopia and reduce or eliminate their need for reading glasses. This procedure is essentially the same as cataract surgery, but may be performed

Not only was she beautiful, she was also pleasant, and got me to where I needed to go. I never would've made it to your office without her help."

- Reconstructive SurgeryOculoplastics is an area of ophthalmology that specializes in cosmetic and reconstructive surgery of the eye and the tissue and bone surrounding the eye. Oculoplastic surgeons are ophthalmologists who have completed additional specialized training after residency, learning the latest knowledge and skills to treat a wide range of conditions that affect the function and appearance of the eye.
- BotoxBOTOX – a favorite with men and women, BOTOX is injected directly into the facial muscles, where it blocks the nerve signals that cause the facial muscles to contract. As the facial muscles gradually relax, lines, furrows and creases fade or disappear completely. A BOTOX treatment can last up to 4 months.
- Brow LiftEndoscopic brow lift is a popular, minimally invasive procedure in which the oculoplastic surgeon uses an endoscope, or tiny camera, to view the underlying structures during surgery. Making 3 to 5 small, nearly invisible 1cm incisions behind the hairline, we elevate the entire forehead, shift the brows into a more lifted position and remove any other tissue contributing to your lines and wrinkles.
- Eyelid SurgeryIf your eyelids droop so low that it blocks your vision, then eyelid surgery may be a medical necessity and can be covered by your insurance.

- Acne TreatmentYou are taking medications with ocular side effects, e.g., isotretinoin (Accutane®*) for acne treatment or amiodarone hydrochloride (Cordarone®t)for normalizing heart rhythm, because they may affect the accuracy of the LASIK treatment or the way your cornea heals after LASIK. This may result in poor vision after LASIK.
