General Practitioners

• Cryotherapy
  Medical and surgical treatment of diseases affecting the retina and vitreous are the focus of this specialty. These diseases can be genetic and systemic in origin. A vitreoretinal ophthalmologist uses tools like ultrasound fluorescein, angiography and electrophysiology to make a diagnosis. From there, they treat vitreoretinal diseases through using such procedures as laser therapy, cryotherapy, retinal detachment surgery and vitrectomy. North Bay Eye Associates also has four highly trained cataract surgeons, William Bartlett, Jason Bacharach, Michael Saidel, and Emil Shieh. We also offer the latest IOLs (intraocular lenses) !

Ophthalmologists

• Glaucoma
  Dr. Jason Bacharach was the first doctor in the Western United States to implant the Glaukos iStent, the first micro-invasive glaucoma surgical device, i.e., MIGS, to treat intraocular pressure. It is currently the smallest medical device ever cleared for use in the U.S. by the FDA.
• Ophthalmology
  Ophthalmology training covers the entire spectrum of eye care. Ophthalmologists are trained to do thorough eye exams to prescribe glasses or contact lenses, offer medical treatment for assorted eye problems, and do complex and delicate eye surgeries for qualified candidates. They also take an active role in conducting scientific research on eye diseases and other serious vision problems. Ophthalmologists work to uncover causes behind these things and find cures.
• Macular Degeneration
  At North Bay Eye Associates, our entire team is committed to providing advanced vision care in a professional and comfortable environment. Our primary eye care service includes a complete eye exam that analyzes eye health and vision function. In addition to eye exams and vision testing, our team of professionals provides testing for glaucoma, cataracts, and macular degeneration. We also offer pre and post-operative care, glasses, and contact lenses.
• Laser Eye Surgery
  If you have ever undergone eye surgery, a trained ophthalmologist has done the work. Ophthalmology focuses on treating diseases and conditions that affect the anatomy and physiology of the eye. What this means is that an ophthalmologist takes care of both surgical procedures and medical care for the eye. They are specialists in dealing with multiple eye diseases and conditions.
• Cataracts
  In addition to treating the cataract, some IOLs can also correct astigmatism at the time of surgery. These lenses will minimize the need for distance vision glasses after surgery. One such IOL that has gained widespread popularity is the Alcon® AcrySof® IQ Toric IOL (made specifically to address cataracts with astigmatism).
• Cataract Surgery
  Monofocal IOLs provide a set focal point, usually for distance vision. This allows cataract surgery patients to see clearly within a range. About 95 percent of people who receive a standard IOL have their vision restored to its pre-cataract state. However, most patients still require glasses for reading or distance vision. Monovision is a technique the surgeon may choose to perform that involves inserting an IOL in one eye for near vision and an IOL in the other eye for distance vision. This technique requires adaptation, since each eye will then be oriented towards different needs.
• Eye Exam
  During an eye exam, our providers will ask you questions about any symptoms or issues you are experiencing, medications you are currently taking, blurry vision, your work environment, and overall health. Family history and previous eye or vision conditions will also be discussed during this part of the examination. Providers here at North Bay Eye Associates will consider this information when determining any treatments or recommendations.
