Ophthalmologists

• Glaucoma
  Glaucoma includes a group of conditions that cause damage to the optic nerve. These can often develop over many years without causing pain – so you may not experience vision loss until the disease has progressed. Glaucoma cannot be prevented, and vision lost to it cannot be restored. Left untreated, glaucoma can cause blindness. For these reasons, regular eye exams and early detection are critical.
• Ophthalmology
  In addition to the comprehensive ophthalmology services we provide, our practice features an optical center with a wide array of eyeglass frames and contact lenses to suit every look and budget. We offer patients frames from many elite designers, as well as stylish yet affordable alternatives. We also carry a full line of frames for children and teens.
• Macular Degeneration
  Macular Degeneration is a disease that is more common among older populations, that is why it is often referred to as Age-Related Macular Degeneration or ARMD.  There are two types of ARMD, Dry and Wet.  Dry ARMD is the most common and accounts for almost 90% of all cases.  Wet ARMD is a more serious condition where blood vessels begin to leak under the retina causing some vision loss.  The specialists at Shasta Eye Medial Group can help diagnose these conditions with several different tests.
• Laser Eye Surgery
  A lifetime of clear vision is priceless. And while we understand that eye surgery is not cheap, we hope that you find your best option to be affordable.
• Cataracts
  Reducing the amount of ultraviolet light exposure by wearing a wide-brim hat and sunglasses may reduce your risk for developing a cataract but once developed there is no cure except to have the cataract surgically removed. Early detection through regular eye exams can help maintain the clearest vision possible.
• Cataract Surgery
  By the age of 65, most people will have formed cataracts, which occur when your human lens becomes clouded to such an extent that it has an effect on your vision and quality of life. This condition typically comes about with age, but can also result from trauma, disease, and use of select medications. Several groups have an increased risk for developing cataracts and potentially need cataract surgery.
• Eye Exam
  Children without known eye problems should have their first eye exam at about age two, although it’s never too early to test a child’s vision and eye health. Comprehensive eye exams are essential in the diagnosis and treatment of vision problems, injury and disease. Early detection allows for treatment to begin before the child experiences difficulty in school due to poor vision, or before permanent damage has been done to the eye(s). Exams test visual acuity, eye tracking, and focusing skills, and detect problems such as near- and far-sightedness, amblyopia, crossed eyes, dyslexia, and color blindness.

Endocrinologist

• Diabetes Care
• Thyroid
• Diabetic Retinopathy
  Shasta Eye Medial Group specializes in the treatment of individuals affected by diabetic eye conditions. Diabetic Retinopathy is a condition that can develop in patients with uncontrolled diabetes. Over time, high levels of sugar in the blood can cause blockages to the blood vessels in the retina.  This can lead to leakage of blood or growth of new, abnormal blood vessels that can cause several problems including vision loss. Diabetic Retinopathy can be caught early by routine eye exams and can be treated by changes in diet, lifestyle, and blood sugar testing. If you are diabetic and notice changes in your vision, it is highly recommended that you visit your eye doctor to evaluate your condition.

Radiologist

• Ultrasound
  In traditional cataract surgery, once the surgeon creates the small incision in your cornea, they will use a probe to create sound waves, known as ultrasound, to break up the cloudy lens. Your surgeon then suctions out the broken pieces of the lens and replaces them with the new intraocular lens. During this procedure, the incision is closed with a liquid seal, and stitches are usually not needed.
• Radiology
  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

Plastic Surgeons

• Eyelid Surgery
• Blepharoplasty
  By removing excess fat, skin and muscle from the eyelids, blepharoplasty can rejuvenate puffy, sagging or tired-looking eyes. It can improve vision by lifting droopy eyelids out of the patient’s field of vision.
