• Glaucoma
  Glaucoma is an eye disease usually associated with elevated intraocular pressure (IOP) inside the eye that damages the optic nerve, resulting in vision loss. It is a chronic disease that usually has no symptoms and may damage your optic nerve before you notice actual changes in your vision. Three million Americans suffer from glaucoma but only half know they have it. Risk factors include...
• Ophthalmology
  Dr. Haley is board certified by the American Board of Ophthalmology, a fellow of the American Academy of Ophthalmology, former President and current member of the Texas Ophthalmological Association and a Full Clinical Professor at the University of Texas Health and Science Center in Dallas.
• Macular Degeneration
  Age-Related Macular degeneration (AMD) is the leading cause of central vision loss in the United States in the population over the age of 55. Macular degeneration is caused by the deterioration of the central portion of the retina. This central area is called the macula and is responsible for focusing the central vision of the eye and controls our ability to see images in fine detail. When the macula does not work properly, central vision can become blurry along with areas of darkening and distortion. Although macular degeneration reduces vision centrally, it does not affect the eye’s side vision. For example, you may see the outline of a picture in the newspapers but not be able to see the central detail of the picture. Even in advanced cases, macular degeneration does not result in total blindness and in many cases its impact on your vision may be minimal.
• Laser Eye Surgery
  Secondary glaucomas: These can develop as complications of other medical conditions. These types of glaucomas are sometimes associated with eye surgery or advanced cataracts, eye injuries, certain eye tumors, or uveitis (eye inflammation). Pigmentary glaucoma occurs when pigment from the iris flakes off and blocks the meshwork, slowing fluid drainage. A severe form, called neovascular glaucoma, is linked to diabetes. Dr. Clary currently treats this with Avastin injections. Corticosteroid drugs used to treat eye inflammations and other diseases can trigger glaucoma in some people.
• Cataracts
  When the lens (located behind the pupil) becomes cloudy or opaque, it is called a Cataract. Cataracts can cause blurry vision, glare (such as from car headlights), double or distorted vision, faded colors, and trouble with depth perception (such as judging the distance to a curb while driving).
• Cataract Surgery
  Cataract Surgery is the only way to remove a cataract from the eye. All our physicians use the no stitch cataract surgery method. The surgery is performed in an outpatient surgery center using a special microscope and instruments. The doctor makes a small incision without stitches. There is no hospital stay and patients may resume their normal activities almost immediately.
• Eye Exam
  We accept most HMO, PPO. and private insurance plans. The patient must understand their particular coverage and the patient is responsible for obtaining a referral from their primary care physician if necessary. Without a proper referral, the patient will have to reschedule or pay for the visit out of pocket. ALL CO-PAYS MUST BE PAID AT THE TIME OF YOUR OFFICE VISIT. Please advise our office if your plan will pay for a routine eye examination In addition to medical coverage. A COPY OF YOUR INSURANCE CARD IS REQUIRED FOR EACH VISIT and It Is imperative that you notify our business office if your insurance coverage changes.

Endocrinologist

• Diabetes Care
• Diabetic Retinopathy
  If you have diabetes, your body does not use and store sugar properly. High blood sugar levels can damage blood vessels in the retina causing mild to severe vision loss. This damage is referred to as diabetic retinopathy.

Radiologist

• Ultrasound
  Although many people believe lasers are used to remove a cataract, this is not true. Lasers are never used to remove a cataract. Modern cataract surgery today is performed using a process called Phacoemulsification. During this process, an ultrasound is used to break the cloudy lens in to many small pieces. These pieces of lens particles are then removed by vacuum through the initial incision. The cloudy lens is then replaced with a clear man-made lens thus restoring vision to the eye. Modern technique requires no stitches to seal the wound.
