  Reschedule your appointment, self-quarantine and seek medical attention from your primary care provider for your acute respiratory symptoms.

Ophthalmologists

• Glaucoma
  Glaucoma is a disease that affects the optic nerve, the part of the eye which receives images collected by the retina and sends them to the brain. Every eye maintains a certain amount of internal pressure, called intraocular pressure. When this pressure rises to abnormal levels however, it can put extra stress on the optic nerve, causing significant damage. Optic nerve damage results in loss of vision, and ultimately blindness.
• Ophthalmology
  After 25 years of practicing Ophthalmology in Birmingham, Dr. Carter has accepted a position with the Harbin Clinic in Rome, GA. His last day was July 29th,2022
• Macular Degeneration
  Macular degeneration affects cells in the macula, which is the part of the retina responsible for central vision. Central vision is essential for most basic tasks like reading, driving, recognizing people, etc. Thus, although macular degeneration leaves peripheral vision un-impaired, it can be quite debilitating in its advanced state.
• Laser Eye Surgery
  Dr. Ashley Dahl recently removed a cataract. She is a very sweet, personable doctor with a terrific reputation and the skills to back it up. It went very well and I highly recommend her for any eye surgery and lucky me, I get to see her again in a year or so!!!!!
• Cataracts
  A cataract is an opacity that clouds the natural lens inside the eye. Normally the path of light to the retina (where the light sensors are) is as clear as possible. When proteins that make up the lens clump together, the resulting cataract blocks some of the light, making vision blurry or hazy.
• Cataract Surgery
  Cataract surgery is a very common procedure, and complications (if any) are rare and treatable. The surgery itself is highly successful in improving the vision of patients about 95% of the time. Cataract surgery is an outpatient procedure usually taking less than 30 minutes to complete.
• Eye Exam
  A thorough eye examination consists of a variety of standard tests designed to measure visual acuity and other vision faculties, as well as observe the health of the eye and check for common eye diseases. There is no pain or discomfort associated with an exam, and they typically take less than an hour.

Endocrinologist

• Botox
  Botox® is a relatively new procedure using Botulinum Toxin which was developed to treat the visual signs of aging by reducing or removing wrinkles. The procedure is considered a safe, effective way of treating aging skin. Common areas for Botox® injections include horizontal forehead furrows, vertical lines between the eyebrows and "crow's feet" around the eyes. Botox® has proven to be one the best non-surgical forms of facial rejuvenation and is capable of producing phenomenal improvements in your appearance.
