General Practitioners

• Primary Care
  We are able to perform in-office diabetic eye exams and diagnostic testing at Hudson Eye Physicians & Surgeons, LLC. Our staff works with your primary care physician and retina specialists to be certain you have access to care you might need. This includes non surgical injection treatment with Lucentis®, Eylea® or other medications, laser treatment, and surgery if needed to help maintain your vision and prevent vision loss caused by diabetic retinopathy and diabetic macular edema.
• Smoking Cessation
  While we do not have all the answers to the thyroid eye disease puzzle, we do have good evidence that patients with thyroid eye disease will exacerbate their problems if they smoke. Furthermore, patients who stop smoking, often benefit with an improvement in their thyroid eye disease. Smoking cessation will also improve the healing process should you require surgery.
• High Cholesterol
• Emergency Care

Ophthalmologists

• Glaucoma
  Glaucoma is an eye disease that is most commonly associated with an elevated pressure inside the eye- Intraocular Pressure (IOP)- that damages the optic nerve and causes loss of vision. More than three million Americans are living with glaucoma, 2.7 million of whom-aged 40 and older-are affected by its most common form, Primary Open Angle Glaucoma (POAG) which begins without any symptoms or obvious loss of vision. It is critical to diagnose and treat glaucoma as early as possible through regular eye exams in order to prevent vision loss. With early detection, diagnosis & treatment, in the vast majority of cases, glaucoma vision loss can be controlled or prevented.
• Ophthalmology
  Dr. Majmudar is a member of the American Academy of Ophthalmology (AAO), Women in Ophthalmology (WIO), and the American Association of Physicians of Indian Origin.
• Macular Degeneration
  Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) is a leading cause of vision loss in seniors. It occurs when the central portion of the retina, called the macula, is damaged as a result of the hardening of the small arteries supplying oxygen and nutrients to the retinal tissue.
• Laser Eye Surgery
  LASIK Surgery is a type of laser eye surgery called “lamellar eye surgery” because it is performed between the layers of corneal tissue. This is accomplished by creating a very thin flap of corneal tissue that can be lifted and the laser energy applied, followed by returning of the flap to its original position without the need for sutures or stitches. LASIK offers patients a laser vision correction procedure with minimal discomfort and a quick visual recovery.
• Cataracts
  Cataracts are a problem experienced by a great number of people just like you. Cataracts are a common cause of vision problems among people in their 50’s and 60’s and they are actually a major cause of senior eye problems and vision loss. More than 20 million Americans age 40 and older have cataracts and more than half of all Americans develop cataracts by age 80. A cataract is a clouding of the crystalline lens of the eye preventing light rays from passing through it easily. This results in a clouding and blurring of vision. For many patients, cataracts start out slowly and have little effect on vision at first. But, as the cataract becomes denser, so does the impact on vision.
• Cataract Surgery
  At Hudson Eye Physicians & Surgeons, Dr. Harris provides comprehensive routine, medical, laser & surgical eye care. Dr. Harris specializes in routine as well as complex cataract surgery and the medical and surgical management of corneal diseases. He has a special interest in laser cataract surgery and the use of advanced intraocular lens implants, including toric lens implants to correct astigmatism and multifocal lenses to help cataract surgery patients reduce their dependence on eyeglasses, bifocals & readers.
• Eye Exam
  Our offices participate in many major health insurance plans. Coverage varies with each patient and insurance company. It is the patient’s responsibility to know his or her benefits. Not all insurance companies will cover a nonmedical office visit (for example, a routine eye exam each year including a refraction) and Hudson Eye Physicians & Surgeons, LLC, does not accept every vision plan tied to the health insurance plan. Our staff will assist you in determining your eligibility prior to your appointment.

Endocrinologist

• Diabetes Care
• Thyroid
  Approximately 70% will at some point develop problems related to their eyes. There are many names given to the eye syndrome occurring in thyroid abnormalities. The most common name is Grave’s disease, named after Dr. Graves, who first described the eye problems in 1875. The eye changes associated with thyroid disease are seen in all types of thyroid disorders. Most commonly, they develop in patients who are or were hyperthyroid (overactive thyroid). Eye problems can occur in patients who have an underactive thyroid or even normal thyroid. The eye disease is not necessarily related to the control of your thyroid levels. Most people will develop thyroid eye problems within 1 year of their thyroid diagnosis. While most eye problems related to thyroid disease are mild, some can be quite disfiguring and traumatic. There is a great deal that can be done to evaluate and treat patients with thyroid related eye problems.
• Diabetic Retinopathy
  Diabetic retinopathy is a complication of diabetes mellitus that, if left undetected and untreated, can lead to severe and catastrophic vision loss. Damage to the small blood vessels in the retina from diabetic retinopathy is the most frequent cause of new blindness among adults aged 20-74 years old. However, with regular eye exams, early detection, and diagnosis, vision loss can be prevented or halted in most instances.

Radiologist

• Chemotherapy
  Entropion is an eyelid position problem characterized by the eyelid turning inward. When this occurs, the eyelashes and the skin of the eyelid can rub against the surface of the eye and cornea causing considerable irritation and even serious damage. The most common cause is simply a laxity of the lower eyelid as the aging process and effects of gravity occur. Specialized muscles may loosen or weaken, allowing the eyelid to maintain an abnormal position. Most of the time, correction of this problem requires a simple same-day surgical technique. Other causes of entropion include certain conditions which cause scarring of the conjunctiva, chronic use of certain topical medications, some chemotherapy, burns and injury.

Plastic Surgeons

• Botox
  Dr. Leapman has a special interest in facial rejuvenation for men and women using non-surgical treatments & injections to minimize or eliminate the effects of aging. These include treatment for dark circles, eyelid bags, creases, folds, fine lines and wrinkles. Her approach for women is to restore their natural, refreshed, youthful appearance by gently tightening, volumizing and lifting the delicate eye, facial features and chin. For men, Dr. Leapman strives to maintain an energetic, masculine but softened ruggedness. Depending on your areas of concern this can include BOTOX®, Xeomin® or Dysport® tightening injections alone or in combination with gel fillers and volumizing injections such as Juvéderm, Restylane® or Kybella® to create the desired result.
• Eyelid Surgery
  When a child is born with a droopy eyelid, this is considered congenital ptosis. There are several causes of congenital ptosis and is sometimes can associated with other eye problems including misdirected or misaligned eye muscles. In many instances, the eyelid muscle that elevates the eyelid does not develop well. There is a spectrum of severity from very mild to very severe. When significant, the droopy eyelid can block the visual input to the child’s eye and impair the development of that eye and normal vision. The child may maintain an abnormal head posture in an attempt to see underneath the droopy eyelids. Your child’s pediatric ophthalmologist will evaluate the functioning of the eyes and eye muscles, and assess whether the associated ptosis is significant and requires correction. If surgical correction is deemed necessary, your child will have a consultation with our specialist who will then explain the possible approaches to the surgical correction of congenital ptosis, each guided toward severity and cause of the droopy eyelid. The eyelid surgery for correction of congenital ptosis may range from a simple tightening of the upper eyelid muscle if it has good function to even utilizing the brow muscles to elevate the eyelid. There are several ways of accomplishing this goal including the use of specialized materials and grafting techniques and if necessary we will guide you through this process so we can be helpful in achieving the best possible results.
• Plastic Surgery
  Eye Lift or Blepharoplasty eyelid surgery is a popular type of cosmetic facial plastic surgery to help you look your best. Your eyes are one of the most important aspects of your appearance, and one of the first areas to show signs of aging. For some, this can occur as early as your twenties to early thirties. If your eyes project a lack of energy due to overhanging skin and puffiness of your eyelids, you may appear tired or older. Conversely, if the eyes are more open and relatively free of creases and folds, you will probably seem more rested and youthful. In our society, looking your best and preserving your youthful features are important parts of who we are.
• Blepharoplasty
  Upper eyelid Blepharoplasty involves the improvement of two characteristics of the aging upper eyelid area. The first is correction of excess skin of the upper eyelid, a condition referred to as “hooding of the upper lid.” The second condition that can be corrected is the puffiness that is seen in the inner corner and middle of the eyelid as a result of herniation (pushing forward) of fat located in these areas above the eye. Upper eyelid Blepharoplasty is commonly performed at the same time as lower eyelid Blepharoplasty

Dermatologists

• Skin Cancer
  Like other parts of the body, an abnormal coloration to the skin can represent a melanoma or something along the spectrum of a melanoma. While eyelid/facial melanomas are rare, any pigmented lesion around the eyelid deserves attention. Similar guidelines to pigmented lesions or moles on other parts of the body, certainly apply to the eyelids. Changes in color, size and behavior all warrant evaluation and possible biopsy.
• Ulcer
  The outermost layer of the cornea is called the epithelium. If it is damaged from trauma of any type, i.e. getting a foreign body in your eye such as piece of metal, a poke in the eye from a branch or a finger or even from a dirty or damaged contact lens, it is possible for bacteria, viruses or fungi to penetrate the cornea and cause an infection. An infection of the cornea is called Keratitis or Corneal Ulcer. Keratitis can cause painful inflammation with discharge, which if not treated quickly and appropriately, can lead to corneal erosion, corneal ulceration and corneal scarring. Corneal scarring results in a loss of corneal transparency and loss of vision which could require a corneal transplant in order to restore vision. Generally, the deeper the corneal infection, the more severe the symptoms and the greater the potential for loss of vision.
• Lesions
  Growths on or around the eyelids and face are common and the vast majority of these lesions are benign and can be easily removed in the office. The approach to growths on the eyelids and face is similar to elsewhere on the body.
• Burns
