Ophthalmologists

• Glaucoma
  Glaucoma occurs from damage to the eye’s optic nerve and can often lead to loss of vision and blindness. To detect glaucoma, our highly trained doctors will perform a proper screening to determine severity, examine the damage, and help you manage your glaucoma.
• Ophthalmology
  Dr. John DeCarlo is a board certified Ophthalmologist with specialty training in corneal and refractive surgery. A native New Yorker, he received his MD degree from Loyola Stritch School of Medicine in Chicago, and completed a residency program in Ophthalmology at the Kresge Eye Institute in Detroit. Following his residency he completed a two year clinical and research fellowship in corneal-external disease and refractive surgery. He is the founder of Cornea Consultants of Wisconsin. He has been a leading corneal transplant surgeon at St Joseph’s and St Luke’s medical center and has served as the Chief of Ophthalmology at St. Joseph Hospital since 2004.
• Macular Degeneration
  Macular degeneration is a deterioration of the central portion of the retina, the inside layer of the eye that records the images we see and sends them through the optic nerve from the eye to the brain for processing. The macula, or the center of the retina, is responsible for focusing central vision in the eye and controls our ability to see and process information. request an appointment
• Laser Eye Surgery
  Dry eye could come from you not producing enough tears, which could come from age, a medication you take, or a medical condition. You might have inadequate tear production after laser eye surgery, since it can desensitize your corneal nerve.
• Cataracts
  The older you get, the greater your risk of developing cataracts. Blurred, cloudy vision is one of the main symptoms of this condition. If you’re a senior and experiencing problems with your vision, contact the office of DeCarlo Eye Center in Wauwatosa, WI, to see if cataracts could be causing your symptoms. These FAQs explain more about cataract causes, symptoms, and treatment.
• Cataract Surgery
  In the early stages, vision changes from cataracts can be handled with prescription eyewear. Your Wauwatosa ophthalmologist can write you a prescription for corrective lenses to improve your sight. However, as cataracts grow, prescription lenses may no longer work to improve your sight. Once cataracts reach the stage where you cannot see clearly to perform daily tasks, your eye doctor will recommend cataract surgery to restore your sight. Cataract surgery entails removing the cloudy natural lens of your eye and replacing it with a clear, artificial lens to give you clear sight.
• Eye Exam
  An ophthalmologist often diagnoses keratoconus during a routine eye exam. However, if you are experiencing eye problems that you suspect may be keratoconus, don’t wait until your next scheduled eye appointment. While it takes years for keratoconus to significantly worsen in most people, the condition can progress quickly, which can lead to scarring of the cornea and exacerbated vision problems.
