• Macular Degeneration
  Macular degeneration affects cells in the macula, which is the part of the retina responsible for central vision. Central vision is essential for most basic tasks like reading, driving, recognizing people, etc. Thus, although macular degeneration leaves peripheral vision un-impaired, it can be quite debilitating in its advanced state.
• Laser Eye Surgery
  Dr. Drinnan organizes and heads the Eye Clinic at the Samaritan House Free Medical Clinic in San Mateo and performs pro bono eye surgery for needy patients there.
• Cataracts
  General eye exams can diagnose a variety of eye conditions early on and are the best way to preserve good vision. For children, strabismus (crossed eye) and amblyopia (lazy eye) can often be diagnosed and treated in early childhood, avoiding life-long vision impairment. Also, rare eye conditions from birth (like congenital cataracts) can be diagnosed and treated. For all ages, refraction tests can determine whether prescription eyewear would be beneficial, and what power is necessary. Furthermore, many debilitating eye diseases can be diagnosed before noticeable symptoms occur, potentially making the difference between minor damage and major vision loss.
• Cataract Surgery
  As a Cataract surgeon my job is to remove your cloudy lens and replace it with a clear replacement lens. Years ago we utilized replacements lenses, known as Intraocular Lenses (IOLs) and they were designed to help you see either near or far, not both. So after surgery chances are you would still need to wear glasses; usually to read or look at your tablet or computer. If you had pre existing astigmatism then you would need glasses after cataract surgery for both near and far vision.
• Eye Exam
  It is possible to do some basic testing of your vision and the vision of your family members and friends at home. Home eye testing is not a substitute for a complete medical eye examination by an ophthalmologist. Testing your vision at home will not be as accurate as what your ophthalmologist can do. But home eye testing could help you discover a problem that requires professional attention. (Source...

Neurologists

• Autism
  Certain medical conditions and genetic syndromes can also affect the health of a child’s eye just as they can affect the adult eye. For example, any child with diabetes should undergo a dilated eye exam at least once a year. Children with Down Syndrome, autism and certain learning disorders should have a complete eye exam by a pediatric ophthalmologist at least as a baseline. Ultimately, any changes to eye health resulting from these conditions may result in permanent reduction/loss of vision if not detected early and treated appropriately.
