General Practitioners

• Primary Care
  Our thorough evaluation determines the appropriate lens type (rigid or soft), shape and size to optimize vision, comfort and corneal health.  For disfigured eyes with near normal or normal size, soft prosthetic lenses can enhance quality of life, self-esteem and cosmesis.  In addition, both rigid and soft lenses for astigmatism and multifocal demands can be designed.  We handle a large base of patients for these visually demanding contact lens designs on a referral basis from ophthalmologists, optometrists, primary care physicians, and our own loyal practice base from over 25 years in the same location.
• Family Practice
  Dr. Stacey Sumner earned her undergraduate degree in Psychobiology from the University of California at Los Angeles (UCLA). She received her doctorate degree in Optometry from the University of California at Berkeley. She did her clinical externship at the San Francisco VA Medical Center, Pacific Presbyterian Medical Center and at the Moffet Field Naval Air Station. Dr. Sumner specializes in the family practice of optometry with emphasis on contact lenses. She joined the Greenspoon-Silver partnership in 1995. Dr. Sumner oversees all the theatrical special effect contact lens projects.

Ophthalmologists

• Glaucoma
  Glaucoma is a disease of the optic nerve – the electrical cable that connects the eye to the brain. Within this electrical cable there are numerous electrical wires, carrying light information to our brain. When damage to the electrical wires (optic nerve fibers) occurs, blind spots develop. These blind spots usually go undetected until the optic nerve is significantly damaged. If the entire nerve is destroyed, blindness results.
• Macular Degeneration
  Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) is the leading cause of vision loss in people 50 years or older in the United States. It involves damage to the part of the eye called the macula: a small but extremely important area of the retina. The macula is responsible for all of the eye’s central and detailed vision. The majority of AMD cases involve the ‘dry’ form, a slow progressing change in the macular tissue. If left unmonitored, the dry form can progress to the more severe ‘wet’ form.
• Laser Eye Surgery
  Refractive surgery technologies also advance quite rapidly. From custom wavefront lasik to lasik with intralase to implantable contact lenses, we are here to educate, guide, and choose the best option for your specific goals and needs. We are proud to work with some of the world’s most renowned refractive surgeons
• Cataracts
  A cataract is typically a natural clouding and yellowing of the clear lens inside the eye. It can be compared to a window that is frosted or yellowed. The amount and pattern of cloudiness within the lens can vary. One’s vision will also vary, depending on the location and the extent of the opacification. Common symptoms of cataract include: a painless, gradual blurring of vision, glare, light sensitivity, poor night vision, double vision in one eye, needing brighter light to read, fading or yellowing of colors.
• Eye Exam
  Try answering our dry eye questionnaire found on our FORMS page. During our comprehensive eye exam, we make sure the tears are producing normally, and staying on the surface of the eye for an adequate amount of time. We also check to make sure the eyelids are functioning properly and for any other conditions that could cause dry eye.

Endocrinologist

• Diabetes Care
• Diabetic Retinopathy
  Diabetic retinopathy is caused by systemic diabetes. A large majority of people with diabetes will have some form of mild NPDR, even though it has not affected vision yet. The longer a person is diagnosed with diabetes, the more likely they will develop diabetic retinopathy.

Physical Therapists

• Physical Therapy
  Vision therapy is a doctor-supervised, non-surgical and individualized program designed to correct certain vision problems and/or improve visual skills. Vision and sensorimotor deficits can cause eyestrain, headaches, blurred or double vision, loss of place while reading, and difficulty maintaining attention on close work. Vision therapy sessions include procedures created to enhance the brain’s ability to control eye movements, eye teaming, eye alignment, focusing abilities and/or visual processing skills. It can also help reduce eye fatigue due to computer vision syndrome experienced by many adults and children. You can think of vision therapy as physical therapy for the eyes and the brain. Overall, the goal of vision therapy is to help people achieve comfortable binocular vision and to treat visual problems that cannot be remediated by the use of eyeglasses, contact lenses and/or surgery alone.

Allergists
