- Arthritis
- Pediatric CarePediatric eye exams are extremely important given the fact that 5-10% of preschoolers have vision problems, and that approximately 25% of school-aged children have already developed vision problems. When these problems are detected early, children are more likely to react better to treatments.
- Primary CareOur doctors are experts in treating all types of vision and eye conditions. Your sight is our concern. You may come to Olympus Eye Associates on your own or with a referral from your primary care doctor or optometrist. We also collaborate with the best physicians available to provide you exactly with the care you need. We are here to serve you.
- High Cholesterol
- GlaucomaThere has been a recent explosion in the number of types of glaucoma surgeries. These are mostly micro-invasive glaucoma surgeries (MIGS), where the surgery is performed through incisions only a few millimeters wide. They attempt to increase drainage through the natural drainage pathways of the eye. MIGS offers a distinct advantage over traditional glaucoma surgery in terms of safety and recovery time, but they do not lower the pressure as much as traditional surgeries. During your visit, we will discuss whether MIGS is a good option for treating your glaucoma.

- Macular DegenerationAs the name implies, macular degeneration, is a degenerative disease that damages the macula – the most sensitive part of the retina responsible for central vision. The disease exists in two forms, dry and wet. Dry macular degeneration is by far the most common (roughly 90% of all cases). It is also the milder of the two forms, develops gradually, and usually only leads to minor vision loss. Dry macular degeneration tends to occur when yellow fatty particles called drusen accumulate in the retina underneath the macula. This build-up results in thinning and drying-out of the macular cells. Wet macular degeneration is less common, but the vast majority of severe vision loss cases result from this form. First, abnormal blood vessels form underneath the surface of the retina. Leakage of blood and other fluids from these blood vessels permanently damage the outside cells (which detect incoming light). As these cells are damaged, vision is lost.
- Laser Eye SurgeryThe price of LASIK can vary depending on the laser procedure recommended for the patient. We offer a free, no-obligation LASIK exam with our doctors and LASIK surgeons to help each patient determine if he or she is a good candidate, and to determine the cost of their individual LASIK. For the final cost of the procedure, we offer several convenient payment options to help make it affordable. Our financing is through Care Credit. Through Care Credit, we can create a payment plans that can fit into nearly any budget!
- CataractsA cataract is a progressive clouding of the lens that occurs naturally over time. Cataracts develop when the proteins that make up the lens begin to break down, leading to clouding of the lens material – like dark smudges on a camera’s lens.
- Cataract SurgerySeveral steps of cataract surgery currently performed by hand can now be completed with the precision of a laser. Using the Catalys Precision Laser System®, we can offer you unprecedented accuracy and customization in your cataract surgery procedure.
- Eye ExamAs a parent, you may be wondering when you should schedule your child’s first eye exam. Pediatric eye exams are extremely important given the fact that 5-10% of preschoolers have vision problems, and that approximately 25% of school-aged children have already developed vision problems. When these problems are detected early, children are more likely to react better to treatments. Keep in mind that appropriate vision testing at an early age is vital to ensure that your child is capable of the vision skills needed to succeed in school.
- Diabetes Care
- Diabetic RetinopathyDiabetes (diabetes mellitus) is a common disease in which blood-sugar levels are chronically too high. The disease has many related complications, and several eye diseases among them. The most common eye complication of diabetes is diabetic retinopathy, a leading cause of adult blindness. Diabetic retinopathy occurs when high blood-sugar levels affect the functionality of blood vessels in the retina (light-sensing cells in the eye). In early phases of the disease, capillaries will leak blood or fluid. This can cause swelling in the retina (which may result in blurring of central vision), and it can leak into the vitreous humor (the fluid surrounding the retina) causing floaters or obscuring vision.
- UltrasoundOur physicians also use the laser to break up and soften the hard cataract. Softening the lens with the Catalys® laser enables our surgeons to then remove the cataract more gently and with significantly less ultrasound energy than is used in traditional cataract surgery. This gentle, low energy approach can reduce inflammation and help speed visual recovery.
