- GlaucomaGlaucoma is an eye condition that develops when too much fluid pressure builds up inside of the eye. The increased pressure, called intraocular pressure, can damage the optic nerve, which transmits images to the brain. If damage to the optic nerve from high pressure continues, glaucoma will cause loss of vision and eventual blindness. Glaucoma is a leading cause of blindness in the United States, especially for older people. But loss of sight from glaucoma can often be prevented with early treatment.
- OphthalmologyKnown for his conservative approach to patient care, as well as his caring and gentle treatment of patients, Dr. Greenley enjoys the practice of ophthalmology and takes pride in the care of his patients. "I derive personal satisfaction from the improved vision of my patients whether it is attained from surgical procedures, the correct diagnosis and treatment of eye disease, or the correct prescription in glasses or contact lenses,” says Dr. Greenley. “I recognize that I’m not just treating eyes. I’m treating eyes that belong to patients who have their own individual concerns, fears, and personalities.”
- Macular DegenerationAge-related macular degeneration (AMD) is a disease associated with aging that gradually destroys sharp, central vision. Central vision is needed for seeing objects clearly and for common daily tasks such as reading and driving.
- Laser Eye SurgeryWe, at the American Eye Institute, are dedicated to providing High Quality Patient Care and State-of-the-Art Eye Surgery. Our team of professionals is committed to the needs of our patients and the community through Service, Education and Technology.
- CataractsA cataract is a clouding of the natural lens of the eye. With age, the proteins of the lens clump together and block light making vision blurry or hazy. This gradually progresses to cause symptoms such as glare, halos around lights, double vision in one eye, decreased night vision and fading of colors affecting such activities as driving, reading, watching television, golfing, painting, and more. The most common cause of cataract formation is aging, however, other risk factors include: family history, the sun’s uv rays, smoking, medications like steroids, trauma and systemic diseases such as diabetes.
- Cataract SurgeryThe time to have your cataract removed is when you believe the quality of your life would be improved if you could see better. The procedure is a very common and successful operation, improving the vision of over 3 million people a year. Our surgeons at the American Eye Institute, have performed thousands of cataract extractions with a combined experience of over 50 years. We employ the most advanced techniques including the no-stitch, no-needle technique using topical anesthesia (numbing drops). The procedure lasts around 10-15 minutes and most people notice improved vision within days after the operation. We take pride in tailoring your cataract surgery to your lifestyle and visual needs and therefore, in addition to implanting standard intraocular lenses (IOL’s), we offer premium iol’s such as multifocal IOL’s to correct distance and near vision as well as toric IOL’s for astigmatism to decrease your need for glasses after surgery.
- Diabetes Care
- Diabetic RetinopathyDiabetic retinopathy is the leading cause of blindness among adults. Approximately 25% of diabetics have some form of the disease. The risk of developing diabetic retinopathy increases with the duration of the disease and it is estimated that 90% of diabetics may have some form of diabetic retinopathy over the course of their life. However, only a small percentage of those developing diabetic retinopathy have serious vision problems and even a smaller percentage become blind.
- UltrasoundThe medical doctors at the American Eye Institute employ the latest diagnostic testing which includes visual fields, Heidelberg Retinal Tomography, digital fundus photography, ultrasound corneal thickness and gonioscopy.
