Ophthalmologists

• Glaucoma
  Glaucoma, once thought of as a single disease, is actually a broad term for a certain pattern of damage to the optic nerve (the bundle of nerve fibers that carries information from the eye to the brain). This pattern usually occurs in the presence of high intraocular pressure, but contrary to popular belief, glaucoma can occur with normal or even below-normal eye pressure.
• Ophthalmology
  Dr. Victoria Huynh is a licensed optometrist born and raised in Largo, Florida. She obtained her Bachelor of Arts from the University of Florida and continued on to receive her Doctorate of Optometry at the New England College of Optometry in Boston. Her diverse clinical training includes hospitals, community health centers, corporate retail, private practice, and ophthalmology clinics across the US. The most notable clinical rotations include Boston Medical Center, VA Manchester, the Carroll Center for the Blind, and Indian Health Services Santa Fe.
• Cataracts
  A "YAG" is a procedure used to treat posterior capsular opacification (sometimes known as a secondary cataract). This is a clouding of the remaining capsular tissue that develops postoperatively in as many as half of cataract removal operations. Symptoms of posterior capsular opacification are similar to those of a cataract, including blurred vision and increased glare. The procedure takes seconds, and once performed will never need to be done again.
• Cataract Surgery
  There are many options when choosing a lens implant for cataract surgery. Dr. Muller will help you decide if you would benefit from a lens implant designed to decrease visual "aberrations" such as glare and halos. There are also "presbyopia correcting" lens implants available that can decrease your need for near and distance glasses following cataract surgery.
• Eye Exam
  It is recommended that everyone with diabetes get a comprehensive dilated eye exam at least once a year. Between 40 to 45 percent of Americans diagnosed with diabetes have some stage of diabetic retinopathy. Diabetic retinopathy is the leading cause of blindness in working-age people in the United States.

Endocrinologist

• Diabetes Care
• Diabetic Retinopathy
  All people with diabetes--both type 1 and type 2--are at risk of developing Diabetic Retinopathy. Retinopathy is the medical term for damage to the tiny blood vessels (capillaries) that nourish the retina, the tissue at the back of your eye that captures light and relays information to your brain. These blood vessels are often affected by the high blood sugar levels associated with diabetes.

Radiologist

• Ultrasound
  Dr. Muller utilizes the latest technique when performing cataract surgery, known as "phacoemulsification". It involves only a micro incision on the surface of the eye and the use of ultrasound energy to break up the cloudy lens, which can then be removed. An artificial replacement lens is inserted through the same incision. In most cases only an eye drop is needed to numb the eye for the procedure, therefore patients do not need to wear an eye patch. Since the incision is very small, no stitches are needed and the wound will heal on its own.

Plastic Surgeons

• Eyelid Surgery
• Blepharoplasty
  Blepharoplasty is a surgical procedure to remove excess skin, muscle and fat from the upper and lower eyelids. With age and occasionally for hereditary reasons, the muscles and ligaments around the eyes weaken and the skin becomes increasingly loose and puffy, producing an older and tired appearance. This excess tissue can also interfere with peripheral vision.
