Ophthalmologists

• Glaucoma
  Regular eye exams are an invaluable tool in maintaining your eyes' health by detecting and preventing disease. Some diseases, such as glaucoma, develop gradually without causing pain or vision loss - so you may not notice anything wrong until significant and irreversible damage has already happened. Early detection of an eye problem allows for a choice of treatment options and the prevention of further harm.
• Ophthalmology

He completed an internship at the Harvard UCLA Medical Center in Torrance, California, and his residency at Texas Medical Branch’s Department of Ophthalmology.
• Macular Degeneration
  Macular degeneration affects the macula, the part of the retina responsible for the crisp, detailed central vision needed for reading or driving. Macular degeneration occurs when the center of the retina degrades, causing a progressive loss of vision. Symptoms include...
• Laser Eye Surgery
  LASIK (Laser-Assisted In Situ Keratomileusis) is a safe, reliable and painless way to improve vision and reduce or eliminate the need to wear glasses or contact lenses. LASIK changes the way light is bent, or refracted, as it passes through the cornea so that it focuses properly on the retina and objects can be seen clearly. Dr. Hakimi will perform a thorough medical evaluation of the patients eyes in order to determine if the LASIK procedure is appropriate. LASIK is performed on an outpatient basis in our office located in Pasadena TX. Dr. Segal uses numbing eye drops to reduce any potential discomfort that can occur during the procedure. LASIK is the most common type of refractive surgery.
• Cataracts
  Cataracts affect millions of people each year, including more than half of all Americans age 60 and older. A cataract is the clouding of the eye's natural lens. Cloudiness develops as a result of a buildup of protein in the lens. Cataracts can occur in either one eye or both eyes. If left untreated, cataracts will worsen over time and may lead to permanent vision loss or even blindness.
• Cataract Surgery
  AcrySof® IQ ReSTOR® IOL is an intraocular lens that provides a full range of vision for patients after cataract surgery, significantly decreasing their dependence on glasses or contact lenses. The ReSTOR IOL replaces the natural lens of the eye which has been removed during surgery. Its optic design enables it to bend light to a focal point of the retina, facilitating distance vision. By distributing light on the retina in such a way that images at various distances are clearly perceived, it provides multifocal visual clarity.

Gynecologists

• Pregnancy

Endocrinologist

• Diabetes Care
• Thyroid
  People with eye disease, including glaucoma or retinal detachment, thyroid disorders, diabetes, cardiovascular disease or high blood pressure are not good candidates for blepharoplasty.
• Diabetic Retinopathy
  Diabetic retinopathy is a complication of diabetes. It weakens the blood vessels that nourish the retina. Diabetic retinopathy causes the blood vessels that supply nourishment to the retina, the light-sensitive lining in the back of the eye where vision is focused, to weaken. These weakened vessels can leak, swell or develop thin branches, causing a loss of vision.

Plastic Surgeons

• Botox
  BOTOX® Cosmetic is a prescription drug that, when injected, temporarily paralyzes muscles. It contains a purified and safe form of botulinum toxin A, which is produced by the microbe that causes botulism. Manufactured by Allergan, Inc., it is used to treat permanent furrows and deep wrinkles in the skin that are formed by the continual contraction of facial muscles. In addition to its cosmetic applications, it is used to treat a number of medical problems, including excessive sweating, overactive bladder, neck spasms, chronic back and jaw pain, facial spasms and migraines.
• Eyelid Surgery
  As a person grows older, the skin loses some of its elasticity, becoming droopy and creased. Wrinkled and drooping skin which has been obstructing vision may be removed from the upper and lower eyelids under local anesthesia and is usually covered as a medical rather than a cosmetic procedure.

• Plastic Surgery
  Blepharoplasty (eyelid surgery) is a plastic surgery procedure for correcting sagging or drooping eyelids. The eyelid, because its skin is much thinner than that in other parts of the face, is often one of the first facial areas to exhibit signs of aging. Eyelids that sag or droop can affect peripheral vision, making daily activities such as driving more difficult. Blepharoplasty may become necessary when various factors, which include aging, sun damage, smoking and obesity, cause the muscles and tissue that support the eyelids to weaken.
• Blepharoplasty
  Blepharoplasty by Pasadena Eye Associates tightens the eyelid's muscles and tissue, and removes excess fat and skin. Blepharoplasty eliminates the drooping of skin into the visual field, greatly improving peripheral vision. It is also performed for strictly cosmetic reasons.

Dermatologists

• Burns

Allergists

• Allergies
  One significant advantage that Restylane injectable gel has over other facial fillers made with hyaluronic acid is that it contains nothing of animal origin. As a result, it does not require a potential user to undergo allergy testing, which can sometimes take weeks. Another advantage is that Restylane injections are performed in-office, usually by a dermatologist, in less than half an hour, and require little-to-no downtime for the patient.
