General Practitioners

• Emergency Care
  When you get emergency care or get treated by an out-of-network provider at an in-network hospital or ambulatory surgical center, you are protected from surprise billing or balance billing.

Ophthalmologists

• Glaucoma
  The glaucoma specialists at Carolina Eye Associates diagnose and treat glaucoma, a disease that damages the optic nerve of the eye and can lead to blindness if left untreated. It usually happens when fluid builds up in the front part of your eye. The extra fluid increases the pressure in your eye [this is known as intraocular pressure (IOP)] which damages the optic nerve. Currently, glaucoma can only be treated as there is no cure for glaucoma.

• Cataracts
  A cataract is a clouding of the natural lens inside your eye. This natural lens works just like the lens of a camera; focusing light and images on the retina, which sends images to the brain. The natural lens can become so clouded it keeps light and images from reaching the retina. Cataracts are the leading cause of vision loss in adults 55 and older. At Carolina Eye Associates, we combine leading-edge technology with expert surgical techniques to replace your natural lens with a new, artificial lens (also called an IOL) to help you see better and live better as you age.

• Eye Exam
  The time required depends on the type of appointment. Please allow several hours for your first eye examination. If you are coming for a laser or surgery evaluation, please allow three or more hours for your examination. This amount of time is usually needed for the screening procedures, diagnostic examination and any required pre-surgical testing. Patients who are scheduled to have their surgery performed on the same day as their evaluation should anticipate spending most of the day at the clinic. This will allow time for all the necessary testing as well as the surgery.

Radiologist

• Radiology
  When you get services from an in-network hospital or ambulatory surgical center, certain providers there may be out-of-network. In these cases, the most those providers may bill you is your plan’s in-network cost-sharing amount. This applies to emergency medicine, anesthesia, pathology, radiology, laboratory, neonatology, assistant surgeon, hospitalist, or intensivist services. These providers can’t balance bill you and may not ask you to give up your protections not to be balance billed.

• Brow Lift
  As with any surgical procedure, brow lifts carry some risks. Most people who undergo brow lifts walk away with no side effects, but some may have complications following surgery. Some of these side effects may include nausea from anesthesia, hair loss around the incision site, temporary numbness, and blood pooling under the skin. Severe problems may consist of excessively high eyebrows or having difficulty closing your eyelids. While rare, these issues will require additional surgery to correct. Before undergoing a brow lift, these risks should be discussed with a
• Eyelid Surgery
  While both surgeries can be considered cosmetic procedures, they provide vastly different results. An eyelid surgery strictly focuses on eyelids, whereas a brow lift focuses on your eyebrows and, subsequently, your forehead as well. Though usually considered “cosmetic” surgery, Eyelid surgery can be seen as “functional” surgery when the eyelids droop into or obscure the line of vision. However, brow lifts are a “cosmetic” procedure and cannot be “functional.”
• Blepharoplasty
  An eyelid lift, also known as blepharoplasty, removes puffiness and bags under the eyes and corrects droopy eyelids. This procedure can help to improve range of vision and help patients to achieve a more youthful appearance.Â
• Forehead Lift
  Eyelid lifts work by removing excess fat, muscle, and skin from the upper and lower eyelids. The oculoplastic specialists at Carolina Eye Associates can help you to determine whether additional use of injectables like dermal fillers, or a forehead lift procedure could help further enhance results.
