- CataractsDr. Kea offers in office YAG Posterior Capsulotomy to patients that have undergone cataract surgery. Some patients experience a clouding of their vision much like their vision was prior to having surgery. This is usually caused by a fibrosis of the natural lens capsule left in the eye by their surgeon. Dr. Kea uses an extremely low powered laser to remove this fibrosis and to restore the patient's vision to the way it was prior to surgery. The procedure is painless and takes only minutes to perform in the comfort of our office.
- Cataract SurgeryPremium IOLs or intraocular lenses are lenses that are placed in the eye during cataract surgery. The lens placement is designed to restore the natural lens shape.

These features include aspheric, toric, accommodating, and multifocal IOL’s.

- Diabetes Care
- Diabetic RetinopathyDiabetic retinopathy is a condition that is caused by damage to the retina.

- Eyelid SurgeryEyelid surgery can be done in a local office or a surgery center. If you are completing the operation in an office environment, you can probably expect that you will be treated with a local anesthetic and an oral sedative. If you are in a surgery center, it’s likely that you will receive an intravenous anesthetic. The surgery takes about two hours to complete if you are getting all four eyelids done (upper and lower lids). When you are getting all four eyelids corrected, the surgeon will likely opt to work on both upper eyelids first and then move to the lower eyelids. While the upper eyelids will have three to six stitches, the lower eyelids may not have any. The stitches should remain in place for three to six days.
- BlepharoplastyMany individuals find that non-surgical options don’t have enough or any effect on their eyelids. In these instances, they can consider working with a licensed medical professional to weigh their options. Eyelid rejuvenation (blepharoplasty) is also commonly called an eye lift.
