- Primary CareHis extensive work and experience in the field of corneal disease has made him a nationally recognized corneal specialist. He has written two major textbooks of ophthalmology, Cornea Color Atlas and Ophthalmology For the Primary Care Physician. Corneal Color Atlas is regarded as the gold standard for corneal disease. He also contributed to the textbook of corneal diseases, Cornea. He has published numerous articles and presented his research work at several national ophthalmology meetings. For his dedication to the field, he has been featured as one of the best ophthalmologists in Atlanta Magazine and in Best Doctors In America many times, most recently in 2021.
- GlaucomaGlaucoma is known as “the silent thief of sight.†Most people have no symptoms until permanent vision loss has already occurred. Regular comprehensive eye exams are the key in the diagnosis of glaucoma.

- Macular DegenerationA comprehensive eye examination will evaluate not only how well you see, but also identify potential eye diseases. Some eye diseases, such as glaucoma and macular degeneration, can result in serious vision loss if not detected and treated early. Often, patients with these diseases do not experience any visual symptoms before vision loss occurs. The examination will take approximately 1.5 hours depending on which tests need to be performed.
- Laser Eye SurgeryLASIK (laser-assisted in situ keratomileusis) is a safe, reliable and painless way to improve vision and reduce or eliminate the need to wear glasses or contact lenses. Lasik changes the way light is bent, or refracted, as it passes through the cornea so that it focuses properly on the retina and objects can be seen clearly.
- CataractsMeibomian gland dysfunction (MGD) is a chronic, progressive abnormality of the oil glands of the eyes and is the leading cause of dry eye disease (DED). MGD has been linked with loss of productivity at home/work, contact lens intolerance and can negatively impact the outcome of cataract and refractive surgery. If left untreated, it can lead to oil gland constipation and eventual irreversible gland drop out/loss.
- Cataract SurgeryIf surgery is necessary, a preoperative appointment is scheduled with your surgeon approximately one to two weeks prior to the procedure. During the exam, a mutual decision is reached between you and your surgeon to finalize the best choices for cataract surgery. We use two independent systems to obtain IOL measurements. Our double-method technique maximizes the accuracy of the implant power for the best visual outcome.
- Eye ExamWhat to expect at your eye exam Your doctor will most likely dilate the pupils of your eyes to see the optic nerve and retina at the back of your eyes. The dilation takes 15-30 minutes to become effective and it may make your vision a little blurry and sensitive to bright light for a few hours. We recommend you bring sunglasses and a driver, if possible, to take you home. We will provide disposable sunglasses if you need them.
