• Macular Degeneration
  Despite our minds becoming wiser with age, our eyes can become weaker. Age-related eye conditions include cataracts, macular degeneration, blurred vision, and presbyopia (farsightedness). These can all be presented through an eye exam, and the eye doctor will help you receive the proper treatment.
• Laser Eye Surgery
  Patients who are frustrated with the use of glasses or contact lenses may be a good candidate for LASIK (or PRK/SMILE) surgery. In this procedure, the glasses prescription is reduced by using a laser to flatten or steepen the curvature of the cornea. These changes are permanent and very accurate.
• Cataracts
  For over 30 years, Siedlecki Cataract & Vision Care has been proud to provide medical and surgical eye care to patients throughout the Buffalo, North Tonawanda, Cheektowaga, West Seneca, Hamburg, East Aurora, and Clarence, NY areas. We can measure for and prescribe glasses if requested, but we do not sell frames or lenses. Contact our offices in Amherst, Orchard Park, or Williamsville, NY today to learn more about our services or to request an appointment!
• Cataract Surgery
  You are born with a beautiful and clear natural lens inside of your eye. Much like a camera lens, this crystalline lens has the ability to alter its power in order to focus on objects at varying distances. Over several decades, the crystalline lens becomes cloudy and rigid, losing its ability to focus on near targets – a condition known as presbyopia, which is treated with the use of reading glasses. From then on, the lens is called a cataract and gradually becomes more opaque until it causes symptoms that are bothersome to the patient, such as a decrease in vision or glare at night (especially with driving). At this stage it is reasonable to consider cataract surgery to improve the vision, decrease glare, and reduce dependence on glasses. Unless treated, a cataract will progressively worsen with time.
• Eye Exam
  Without visiting the eye doctor on an annual basis, it may be difficult to assess whether you need new glasses or contacts. Worsening eyesight can cause headaches and eye squinting that you may not realize correlates with a weak prescription. Having an annual eye exam will ensure that you have an updated prescription in your lenses and will reduce the unnecessary strain on your eyes.
