- GlaucomaGlaucoma...is damage to the optic nerve. Sometimes associated with internal eye pressure caused when the aqueous humor cannot properly drain. Symptomless in early stages, it can damage the optic nerve & result in blindness.
- Macular DegenerationMacular degeneration damages the macula (center of the retina) making it difficult to see fine details. It is an eye disorder that impacts the central vision. There are two types, “wet” and “dry.”

- CataractsA cataract is a clouding of the eye’s lens – which initially can bother you with a little blurred vision. Many people say that for a time it is like looking through a dirty window. People with diabetes seem to have a higher risk factor for cataracts, but as we age, many people without any obvious risk factors develop cataracts.
- Cataract SurgeryFrom annual eye exams to glaucoma screenings, cataract surgery to eye muscle surgery and more, we strive to bring to you the most comprehensive eye health care available.
- Eye ExamThe single most important step you can take to preserve your vision is to have an annual eye exam. First, we will test your “visual acuity” (close-up and distance vision.) Then our technicians will painlessly check eye pressure, eye muscle control, the health of your optic nerves at the base of your eye (done by dilating your eye) and more. An eye exam usually takes about an hour, including the time you spend completing or updating your medical history, being examined and discussing your occular health with your doctor.
- Diabetes Care
- Diabetic RetinopathyDiabetes is the single largest cause of blindness in adults in the United States. Diabetic retinopathy occurs when high blood sugar damages the small blood vessels in the retina. Initially you may have no symptoms; or your might have blurry or double vision, flashing lights or bright spots, pain or pressure in one or both eyes, or trouble seeing out of the corners of your eyes.

- Plastic Surgery
- BlepharoplastyAs people age, the tender skin on the eyelid and just below the eye are some of the first areas on the face to loosen and wrinkle. Many patients believe this makes them look tired and older than their age – both valid reasons for having blepharoplasty surgery. For a percentage of patients, there is a legitimate medical condition which needs to be corrected, which is equally if not more important.
