Retina-Vitreous.
Problems with the retina and vitreous can lead to vision loss and blindness.
Surgery can correct problems before vision is lost or prevent further deterioration from occurring.
Diabetic Retinopathy. Although damage caused by diabetic retinopathy cannot be corrected, patients diagnosed with the condition can be treated to slow its progression and prevent further vision loss. Treatment modalities include laser and surgical procedures.
Diabetic Evaluation and Care. Patients with diabetes should have an eye exam every year. Early detection of eye disease -- including diabetic retinopathy, cataracts and glaucoma -- can prevent vision loss and other complications.
LASIK Surgery. LASIK is a safe, reliable and painless way to improve vision without the need for glasses or contact lenses. The procedure is effective for many patients with nearsightedness (myopia), farsightedness (hyperopia) and astigmatism.

Refractive Surgery. Excessive, insufficient or uneven corneal curvature may be surgically corrected using LASIK, LASEK or other refractive procedures to improve vision and reduce or eliminate the need for eyeglasses or contact lenses.

Glaucoma Consultation.
Glaucoma occurs when the pressure inside the eye rises high enough to
damage the optic nerve and cause permanent vision loss. Early diagnosis of
glaucoma not only involves checking eye pressures, but also requires
careful examination of the optic nerves. Treatment is administered to
lower pressure in the eye and prevent vision loss.
Glaucoma Surgery
When eye drops do not adequately lower eye pressure enough to control a
patient's glaucoma, laser surgery or other Glaucoma surgery
may be recommended. Patients with a special condition called narrow angles can have angle
closure glaucoma attacks, which can be prevented or treated with laser
surgery to the iris.
Cataract Surgery. A cataract is a cloudy area in the normally clear lens in the front of the eye. Cataract surgery improves vision by replacing the natural lens with an artificial one called an intraocular lens implant or IOL.
Pediatric Ophthalmology.
Comprehensive eye exams are essential in the early diagnosis and treatment of vision problems, injury and disease.
Adult Strabismus Surgery. Strabismus or crossed eyes can cause visual impairment, loss of binocular vision, and blindness in the weaker eye. Surgery can correct problems before vision is lost or prevent further deterioration from occurring.
Plastic & Reconstructive Surgery:
Cosmetic Eyelid Surgery (Blepharoplasty). This procedure is also called an eye lift as excess skin and fat from the eyelids is removed to improve vision and create a more refreshed and youthful appearance. Also done to remove puffy bags under the eyes.
Forehead & Brow Lifts. A brow lift raises the forehead and eyebrows through tiny incisions made behind the hairline and is ideal for patients with droopy eyebrows. Often done with eyelid surgery to raise the eyebrows and reduce forehead wrinkles.
Comprehensive Eye Care. Regular eye exams are an invaluable tool in maintaining your eyes' health by detecting and preventing disease. Some diseases, such as glaucoma, often develop gradually without causing pain or vision loss. Early detection of any problems can allow for a choice of treatment options and a reduced risk of further harm.
