General Practitioners

• Arthritis
  There are several causes for dryness, but typically combinations of factors create the problem. Dry eyes are associated with collagen-vascular diseases such as Sjogren’s disease, lupus, and rheumatoid arthritis. Many therapeutic drugs including antihistamines, oral contraceptives, and beta-blockers contribute. Environmental factors such as heat, wind, smoke, and low humidity also play a role in symptoms. Specific activities can cause dry eyes which include prolonged computer use, reading, or drivings since the eyelids blink less frequently. As a result, fewer tears get delivered to all areas of the eye.
• Primary Care
  An effective partnership between you, your primary care physician, and your eye doctor is necessary to make sure we provide proper eye care and treatment.
• Smoking Cessation
• High Cholesterol

Ophthalmologists

• Glaucoma
  Glaucoma is the leading cause of permanent blindness in the United States, and it is estimated to affect nearly one in every fifty adults. Glaucoma is often called the “sneak thief of sight†because in most cases vision loss appears gradually, unnoticed by the patient until it has become severe. Fortunately, with today’s technology and early detection, loss of sight due to most cases of glaucoma can be controlled.
• Ophthalmology

• Macular Degeneration
  One of the most commonly expressed concerns from patients is the fear of developing age-related macular degeneration. This concern is justified, as age-related macular degeneration (AMD) is the leading cause of permanent vision loss in people 60 years of age or older.  The exact cause of AMD isn’t known, although it’s more common in people with a family history. It’s also more common in Caucasians, females, and smokers, although age is the greatest risk factor.
• Laser Eye Surgery
  Anna Hetzer O.D. grew up outside of Waunakee, Wisconsin. She attended the University of Wisconsin-La Crosse and graduated with a biology major and French minor. During college, Dr. Hetzer worked at an eye clinic as an optician and was able to go on an eye mission in Peru, where she fell in love with patient care. She attended Pacific University College of Optometry in Oregon and has experience in almost every corner of the country including an Air Force Base in South Carolina, a private practice in Illinois, a VA in Pennsylvania, and a LASIK center in Colorado.
• Cataracts
  The two most common symptoms of a cataract are blurry vision and seeing glare and halos around lights at night. In most people, cataracts develop so slowly that they may not realize how affected their vision has become. Many times, patients come into the office expecting to receive a new prescription for eyeglasses, only to find out that new glasses can no longer correct their vision to its fullest potential.
• Cataract Surgery
  Most health insurances cover cataract surgery with a single focus lens implant under medical outpatient benefits. However, health insurances do not cover astigmatism correction or Lifestyle lens implants such as: Toric IOLs, LRI procedures, Symfony IOLs, ReSTOR IOLs, Tecnis Multi-Focal IOLs, and Crystalens IOLs. Patients who elect to correct their astigmatism and/or improve their range of vision will pay the difference in cost for these life-changing options.

Endocrinologist

• Diabetes Care
• Diabetic Retinopathy
  Approximately 16 million Americans have diabetes. Many patients living with this condition are unaware that diabetes may affect their eyes and can lead to sudden vision loss or permanent blindness. Each year 12,000 to 24,000 people lose their sight because of diabetes. Diabetic retinopathy is the leading cause of preventable blindness in the United States.

Plastic Surgeons

• Eyelid Surgery
  Eyelid surgery can affect the eye itself, and there is a risk of developing dry eye following eyelid surgery due to decreased blink strength or incomplete eyelid closure. An eye surgeon who has experience with managing issues such as these can take additional measures pre- and post-operatively to reduce the risk of dry eye complications or promptly address them should they occur.
• Blepharoplasty
  Skin can lose its elasticity with age, causing the upper eyelid skin to sag. This excess skin can not only create an appearance of tired eyes, but it can also obstruct peripheral vision, create a “heavy” or “tired” sensation of your eyes, and cause strain due to the extra effort required to raise your eyelids. Excess, baggy skin of the upper eyelid is called dermatochalasis. Surgery to remove this excess skin is called blepharoplasty and we perform this procedure for cosmetic purposes or vision (medical/functional) purposes. Â

Dermatologists

• Skin Cancer
  Whether it is sunny or cloudy, and no matter what the season – we are exposed to ultraviolet (UV) radiation from the sun. Most of the time, we do not even realize it since UV rays are invisible to the eye. Just as the sun can damage your skin (burning, wrinkling, skin cancer, and premature aging), it can also be harsh on your eyes. Choosing UV protection is crucial in protecting the health of your eyes
