General Practitioners

• Primary Care
  Senior Eye Associates has a long standing protocol regarding potential surgical candidates. Not only must the resident desire the surgery, but their Power-of-Attorney for Healthcare, or closest family member, and Attending Physician agree to the procedure. After these steps have been taken and documented, arrangements are made for surgery. One must remember that cataract surgery is an elective procedure to improve a patient’s quality of life. Only when there is a potential benefit to the patient should surgery be undertaken. It is collectively the patient, POA, primary care physician, and ophthalmologist’s decision for or against surgery.

Ophthalmologists

• Glaucoma
  For more than 25 years, Senior Eye Associates, P.C. has provided on-site eye care services to residents in all types of care facilities. Our Doctors of Optometry provide quality comprehensive eye examinations as well as on-site fitting and dispensing of glasses. Our licensed optometrists specialize in examining all types of patients, including but not limited to patients with dementia, intellectual disabilities, and non-communicative. Diagnosis and treatment of eye conditions such as Cataracts, Glaucoma, and Age-Related Macular Degeneration are managed by the optometrist at appropriate follow up intervals and referrals are scheduled as needed.
• Ophthalmology
  Senior Eye Associates is concerned with the overuse of referrals and unnecessary surgery performed on residents of long term care facilities. Our primary care Optometrists are highly trained and qualified in ocular diagnosis and treatment. Routine cataract, glaucoma, and diabetic patients do not require further referral and can be monitored at the facility. Our optometrists refer patients to ophthalmology if the patient requires further diagnostic testing, treatment is required that is outside the optometrist’s scope of practice, and/or surgery is recommended.
