- GlaucomaGlaucoma is a disease where the nerve of the eye becomes damaged. The result of a damaged optic nerve is a diminishing field of vision and if left untreated, can lead to blindness. A series of tests done in the office can determine if you are at risk for developing this potentially sight threatening disease.

- CataractsThe lens is the clear structure located behind the pupil. Its primary function is to provide fine-tuning for focusing and reading. The lens performs this function by altering its shape to become thinner or thicker as necessary. Between the ages of 40 and 50, the lens becomes less flexible and presbyopia sets in. As people reach their 60's or 70's, the lens sometimes becomes cloudy and hard (cataract formation), preventing light from entering the eye.
- Cataract SurgeryIf you live long enough, you are likely to develop cataracts, which cause blurred vision. Fortunately, cataract removal is a routine procedure. A cataract is a clouding of the natural lens of the eye. There are also some new and exciting cataract implants which can restore vision at both far and near following cataract surgery.
- Eye ExamVision benefit plans are a supplement to your health insurance. These plans provide a material benefit to use towards eyeglasses or contact lenses and often also cover a "routine" eye examination. You do not need to have a vision benefit plan to have a "routine" eye examination as many insurers include this as a benefit as well. Our office staff will be happy to assist you in determining the coverage that you have.
