- GlaucomaGlaucoma occurs when the pressure inside of the eye (intraocular pressure) becomes elevated for a long period of time. As the pressure builds, the eye swells and presses up against the optic nerve, causing damage. The damage to the optic nerve and subsequent vision loss are both irreversible.
- OphthalmologyEye Care Specialists is a premier eye care facility with 9 locations in northeastern Pennsylvania. We are proud to work with Vision Innovation Partners, a leading manager of ophthalmology practices in the Mid-Atlantic region. Vision Innovation Partners works with several practices in the region. We encourage you to visit their careers page to find the right position and location for you.
- Macular DegenerationMacular Degeneration. Vision loss is common in those who suffer from macular degeneration. It can cause distorted, patchy and blurry vision that can make driving and reading difficult.
- Laser Eye SurgeryUnlike LASIK and other refractive surgery techniques that correct vision by changing the shape of the cornea, Refractive Lens Exchange corrects your vision by changing the focusing power of the eye’s lens. To do this, we replace your natural lens with a new intraocular lens (IOL).
- CataractsIf you are over 55 and notice a decrease in your vision, you may be suffering from cataracts.  Many patients are surprised to know that cataracts are quite common – in fact, more than 20.5 million Americans have cataracts.
- Cataract SurgeryIf you’re experiencing any of these symptoms, you may have cataracts. If untreated, cataracts eventually begin to interfere with normal, everyday activities. The time to have cataract surgery is when your quality of life has been impacted by your poor vision. In the hands of our experienced surgeons, recovery time is rapid and results are impressive.  With today’s safer, more precise technology, there’s never been a better time to have cataract surgery!
- Eye ExamRegular eye examinations are the foundation of your eye health. They help with prevention and catching an eye disease early on for best treatment outcomes. But what actually happens during an eye exam?

- Thyroid
- Diabetic RetinopathyDiabetic Retinopathy. One of the leading causes of blindness in the United States, diabetic retinopathy occurs in diabetics who don’t maintain healthy blood sugar levels. High blood sugar levels cause blood vessels on the retina to leak, blocking vision.
- UltrasoundBefore the procedure, your eye is carefully measured using precision state-of-the-art ultrasound instruments. These measurements are entered into a sophisticated formula to calculate the exact corrective power of your intraocular lens. This procedure uses the same advanced techniques that have been so successful in restoring sight for people with cataracts. The lenses described below with regard to cataract surgery are the same lenses you and your doctor will discuss your options for your Refractive Lens Exchange.

- Mohs SurgeryMohs surgery is a precise surgical technique used to treat skin cancer. During Mohs surgery, thin layers of cancer-containing skin are progressively removed and examined until only cancer-free tissue remains resulting in loss of skin of the eyelid(s). Eye Care Specialists oculoplastic surgeons perform combined procedures with MOHS surgeons to reconstruct the eyelid skin lost during the removal of skin cancer.
- Reconstructive SurgeryOphthalmic Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery is a specialized area of ophthalmology that deals with the management of eyelid disorders including the lacrimal (tear) system, the orbit (the bone cavity surrounding the eye), and the adjacent face.
- BotoxBlepharospasm is characterized by involuntary spasms of the muscles around the eye, resulting in uncontrolled blinking, narrowing, and even closing of the eyelid. BOTOX® (onabotulinumtoxinA) has been used for 25 years as a treatment option for blepharospasm and its symptoms since FDA approval in 1989. BOTOX® is approved to help relieve the eyelid muscle spasms associated with blepharospasm.
- Eyelid SurgeryIn upper eyelid surgery, an incision is made externally in the upper eyelid crease to remove excess eyelid skin and fat. The original incision is then closed with fine, dissolvable sutures. Because the incisions are made in the eyelids’ natural contours, they are barely visible and fade with time. There is a mild amount of bruising and swelling following surgery, but this is usually gone within seven days. Patients can typically resume work within three days after the procedure.
- Plastic SurgeryDr. Roth’s research interests include eyelid and facial plastic surgery. He also participates in cataract and refractive and dry eye studies. He has been both a principal investigator as well as a sub-investigator on numerous clinical trials.
- BlepharoplastyWith age, sun exposure, sleep apnea disorder causing floppy eyelid syndrome, or genetic factors; loose skin and excess fat may accumulate in your upper and lower eyelids. Blepharoplasty corrects sagging eyelids, excess folds and under-eye pouches. The surgery is performed under local anesthesia with sedation and takes one to two hours. You can resume light activity within three days, and exercise and more vigorous activities in one week.
- Skin CancerThe outer layer of skin is called the epidermis. Epidermal cells include flat squamous cells, round basal cells, and pigment-producing melanocytes. The dermis is the deeper layer of skin and contains the hair follicles, oil and sweat glands, and blood vessels. Skin cancers can arise from any of these skin cells. A biopsy is usually required to confirm the diagnosis of skin cancer.
