- Headaches
- Family PracticeIf a congenital cataract is suspected, an ophthalmologist with experience treating babies and children can confirm or rule out a problem. An eye exam is conducted using a slit lamp, and blood tests and/or X-rays may be taken to aid in the diagnosis. A family health history is also recorded to look for any relevant patterns.
- Emergency CareYou are strongly advised to contact an eye doctor immediately or go straight to the nearest emergency room if your eye pain or pressure is very severe, or if it is accompanied by any of the following symptoms...
- GlaucomaGlaucoma occurs when the pressure inside the eye is elevated to levels that are higher than normal. The eye naturally produces and drains a fluid called aqueous humor. However, if the eye overproduces aqueous humor, or the natural drainage mechanisms within the eye become clogged or blocked, fluid can build up in the eye, causing a spike in intraocular pressure. In the more common type of glaucoma, called open-angle glaucoma, this elevation happens slowly over a long period of time. On the other hand, in angle-closure glaucoma cases, the spike happens very quickly. Either way, elevated intraocular pressure levels can damage the optic nerve, which sends visual information from the eye to the brain.

Through the remarkable technique of neurolinguistic programming, we will explore how LASIK surgery has the potential to reshape not just your eyesight but your entire perception of life.
- CataractsCataract is a medical condition in which the lens of the eye becomes progressively cloudy causing blurred vision. The initial symptoms of cataracts include glare from light sources at night and a pronounced reduction of visual clarity in low-light situations.
- Cataract SurgeryMedicare can be a smart way to cover some or all of the costs of cataract surgery. Although the federal health insurance program does not generally pay the cost of routine vision services, it does cover “medically necessary” care for its beneficiaries. If an ophthalmologist determines that a cataract is significantly impairing your vision, surgery to extract and replace the cloudy lens can certainly qualify as medically necessary care.
- Eye ExamAlthough experts are still actively researching computer vision syndrome in our increasingly digital world, the optometrists at Laser Eye Center already have the expertise to diagnose computer vision syndrome with a comprehensive eye examination. They can also recommend a course of treatment to improve the comfort of patients’ eyes and better protect their vision in the long term.

And today the number is even higher. In fact, BOTOX Cosmetic has been ranked as the most popular physician-administered aesthetic procedure in the United States (surgical and non-surgical combined).

- Acne Treatment
- FungusThe appropriate treatment for pressure or pain behind the eyes depends on the underlying cause. For example, pain or pressure caused by an infection necessitates the use of eyedrops to eradicate the bacteria, fungus, or virus. Allergy medication can help curtail allergic symptoms and subsequently ease any related discomfort.
