Ophthalmologists

• Glaucoma
  More than 2 million Americans are believed to have some type of glaucoma – and half of them do not know it. People in the early stages of the disease rarely notice any symptoms, so it’s vitally important to be tested for glaucoma regularly. Most glaucoma patients have open-angle glaucoma, which begins with progressive loss of peripheral vision followed by central visual field loss. Although this condition cannot be cured, it can usually be controlled and early treatment may minimize vision loss. To control glaucoma, our doctors may prescribe one of a few different treatments such as surgery or medicine.

• Macular Degeneration
  Macular degeneration affects cells in the macula – the part of the retina responsible for central vision – which impairs your ability to read, drive and recognize people. Although macular degeneration leaves peripheral vision unaffected, the disease can be quite debilitating in its advanced stage. The primary cause of macular degeneration is not known. Age Related Macular Degeneration, often called AMD or ARMD, is the leading cause of vision loss and blindness among Americans who are 65 and older. There is no cure for macular degeneration yet. However, there are some treatments that delay the progression and possibly even improve vision. The doctors at Genstler Eye Center can provide testing and examinations to monitor and treat the disease.
• Laser Eye Surgery
  Dr. Genstler has an ongoing commitment to keep our technology current. In 2007, she acquired an Intralase laser, making her the third physician in Kansas to have this technology. “This allows us to perform all-laser, blade-free Lasik surgery,” Dr. Genstler said. “The technology not only offers more accurate laser vision correction but an added safety factor that is very attractive and comforting to patients.” In 2003, Dr. Genstler built the current location of Genstler Eye Center in Topeka. Her building also houses the Topeka Surgery Center, a fully Medicare-approved surgery facility. The need for additional space prompted a new office building in Manhattan in 2011. This has allowed Genstler Eye Center to have two doctors in the office each day of the week to better serve the needs of the Manhattan community. The newest Genstler office opened in Lawrence in 2017.
