- ArthritisIf you suffer from any major medical conditions, for example, diabetes, or an autoimmune disease such as lupus or rheumatoid arthritis, it does not automatically disqualify you for PRK. You can talk with us about taking some specific steps to make PRK as safe as possible for you.
- GlaucomaGlaucoma is a disease of the optic nerve — the part of the eye that carries the images we see to the brain. The optic nerve is made up of many nerve fibers, like an electric cable containing numerous wires.
- OphthalmologyMany medical insurance plans cover comprehensive ophthalmology examinations. Our office staff will be glad to help guide you through this process.
- Macular DegenerationMacular degeneration, often called AMD or ARMD (for age-related macular degeneration), is the leading cause of vision loss and blindness in Americans aged 65 and older.
- Laser Eye SurgeryAre you struggling with blurry vision, having difficulty driving at night? Are you not a candidate for LASIK? For many people, especially those over 45 years of age, you might be in a situation where LASIK is not the best option to regain your youthful vision.
- CataractsDavidorf Eye Group is excited to offer our patients the revolutionary Light Adjustable Lens. Our cataract surgeons always bring patients the latest and most state-of-the-art technology to ensure personalized, top-notch care.
- Cataract SurgeryFor the correction of the most extreme levels of nearsightedness and astigmatism, the procedure of choice is the implantation of a contact lens-like material inside the eye. Unlike cataract surgery or Refractive Lens Exchange surgery, the natural lens is not removed; rather, the implant sits in front of the natural lens. In effect, the contact lens implant becomes an internal contact lens. The EVO Visian ICL is an additive lens, meaning the natural lens is not removed from the eye.
- Eye ExamA sequence of tests to determine the health of your eyes will be performed. Many general medical conditions and even certain medications can generate abnormal findings on an eye exam.
- Pregnancy
- Anxiety
- Diabetes Care
- Thyroid
- Diabetic RetinopathySpecial medications (anti-VEGF agents) have revolutionized the treatment of diabetic retinopathy and are now commonly used as the first-line treatment. Laser treatment at the appropriate time can also help prevent bleeding within the eye and vision loss from macular edema (swelling in the 20/20 spot of the retina).
- UltrasoundFortunately, cataracts can be corrected with a painless, outpatient procedure. The cloudy lens (cataract) is emulsified with ultrasound or laser (FLACS or “Femtosecond Assisted Cataract Surgery†), and the small particles are irrigated out of the eye through a tiny slit-like opening.
- Reconstructive SurgeryDr. Massry is known as the super-specialist who treats and cares for patients who require reconstructive surgery as a result of trauma or disfiguration to the eye area, from accidents, hyper-sagging, malformation from aging, or a variety of other reasons. A large percentage of Dr. Massry’s work is reconstructive.
- BotoxBOTOX® injections for facial wrinkles is one of the most popular, satisfying, and effective non-surgical procedures performed by a plastic surgeon. BOTOX® works by weakening those muscles under the skin which causes wrinkles to form.
- Brow LiftEndoscopic Eyebrow Elevation (browlift) is the most current and state-of-the-art method of forehead and eyebrow lifting. Traditional cosmetic brow lifts are extensive surgical procedures (large incisions from ear to ear) with prolonged postoperative recovery. Conversely, the endoscopic brow lift is a minimally invasive procedure, with quick recovery.
- Eyelid Surgery
- Plastic SurgeryOphthalmic Plastic Surgery is the specialty that deals with cosmetic surgery of the eyelids and surrounding areas, including the forehead, eyebrows, upper lids, lower lids, and mid-face or cheeks. Only a proven expert should be trusted when it comes to one’s eyes.
- BlepharoplastyPtosis (pronounced “toe-sis†) is a condition in which the upper eyelid droops. This should not be confused with extra skin, fat or muscle to the eyelid, which is typically addressed with blepharoplasty surgery. In Ptosis, the upper eyelid margin (where the eyelashes are) falls to – or covers – the pupil when the eye is open.
- Cosmetic SurgeryCosmetic surgery is a rapidly evolving surgical discipline, which has undergone a tremendous evolution over the last decade. Like other fields in medicine, cosmetic surgery is in a constant state of change. This is extremely important, as, without meaningful change, progress could not be achieved.
