Taking supplements with zinc may cause a copper deficiency, which can lead to anemia. (That is why copper is included in the recommended dosages.) Also, very high zinc levels can be associated with kidney problems. Patients may want to discuss the best combination of supplements to take with their primary care physician. In addition, the impact of taking these supplements for decades is not known.

• Laser Eye Surgery
  What are Refractive Procedures? Refractive procedures manipulate the eye to improve vision. Though there are several types of refractive procedures, the most popular is known as LASIK (laser assisted in situ keratomileusis). LASIK involves reshaping the cornea using incisions and lasers. An incision creates a flap which is folded back. Lasers are then used to reshape the middle layer of the cornea and correct the vision. The flap is folded back and allowed to heal, resulting in much clearer vision. Is LASIK For Me? Not everyone should consider a LASIK procedure. Candidates should be over 18 years of age. If you are pregnant, nursing, or suffering from a number of diseases, you probably are not eligible for LASIK. You are also not eligible if your prescription has changed a great deal over the past year. Feel free to talk to Dr. Smith about LASIK. He will be able to assess your eligibility, the risks you may encounter, and he can recommend how to move forward. Before surgery, Dr. Smith or Dr. Lambring will perform your LASIK evaluation. Once he decides you are a good candidate, he will then refer you to a doctor outside our office to perform the procedure. After surgery, you can return to Dr. Smith ofor your postoperative follow-up. Is the Procedure Safe? In rare cases, there have been complications that have arisen after the procedure, including droopy eyelids, constant discomfort or the inability to wear contact lenses. In even rarer cases, there have been complications during the procedure. However, as technology improves, there will likely be a decrease in these instances.

• Cataract Surgery
  Conner-Smith Eye Center fully participates in the Medicare program. We accept assignment of benefits on behalf of each eligible patient. The eye health examination may be a covered service under the Medicare program. However, as mandated by Federal law, the refraction portion of the exam is a non-covered service. A refraction is the part of the exam where your best corrected vision is established. Each Medicare patient will be charged $28 for the refraction. This charge must be paid at the time of service. Medicare does not offer any coverage towards eyewear, unless it is the first pair of glasses you receive after cataract surgery. The purchase of eyewear is the responsibility of each Medicare patient.
• Eye Exam
  Many common vision insurance programs only cover the vision portion of the overall eye health examination. There are two distinct and important elements to every visit. First, the most important aspect of your visit is to insure quality of life by providing you with a comprehensive, thorough medical examination of your visual system. Many eye diseases that affect your vision have little or no symptoms until the problem has become sight-threatening. Routine eye health examinations are critical to prevent debilitating eye disease. Secondly, each comprehensive medical eye exam will include a vision component to analyze and prescribe, if necessary, eyewear or contact lenses to correct your vision.

• Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD)
  Did you know that 80% of everything a child learns, understands, and remembers is acquired through his or her visual system? Vision is very important in the learning process. What’s worse is that one in four children have undiagnosed vision problems that affect their learning. Sometimes the problem is misdiagnosed as ADD (attention deficit disorder), ADHD (attention deficit hyperactivity disorder), or dyslexia. It is important that children receive comprehensive visual exams starting as early in life as possible. Vision screenings at school are not sufficient as a basis for diagnosing vision problems. A comprehensive exam may find a visual problem missed during screenings, and Dr. Conner, Dr. Smith, or Dr. Lambring can recommend treatment. Children suffering from uncorrected vision problems may face many barriers in life – socially, academically, and athletically. Make sure your child’s vision is developing well by giving them the eye care they need.

• Diabetic Retinopathy
  There are approximately 17 million peoplin the United States living with diabetes. Diabetes is a disease that prevents your body from making or using insulin to break down sugar in your bloodstream. High blood sugar levels can damage blood vessels in the retina. The damage to retinal vessels is referred to as diabetic retinopathy. Nearly half of all people with diabetes will develop some degree of diabetic retinopathy in their lifetime.

Radiologist

• Ultrasound
  How are cataracts treated? If a cataract develops to a point that your daily activities are affected, you may choose to have your cataract removed. Dr. Conner uses the most modern no shot, no stitch, no patch, no shield cataract surgery available. Dr. Conner will make a small incision in the eye and use ultrasound to break the cataract up into tiny pieces and suction it out. Once this is removed, he will replace it with a plastic intraocular lens (IOL). Calculations are done before surgery to calculate the power of this IOL. The calculation is generally done to create emmetropia, which is the condition where the eye is in focus (at distance) without any glasses. Though these calculations are accurate, there is some human variability in people’s eyes and so some correction, generally in the form of glasses, is needed for your very sharpest vision.
