Services We Offer

CATARACTS

 

A cataract is an opacity (cloudiness) which occurs in the lens of the eye.  The lens is a natural tissue within the eye that is responsible for focusing light onto the retina.

CORNEA


The cornea is the clear, outer covering of the eye, much like the windshield of a car, that covers the iris (colored part) and pupil (the black center).  The cornea is responsible for approximately two thirds of the focusing power of the eye.

DRY EYE

 

Dry eye and ocular surface disease affects over 25 million people in the U.S.  Because this disease is so prevalent in our society we'VE developed a Dry Eye and Ocular Surface Disease Center for Excellence. 

GLAUCOMA

 

Glaucoma is a vision threatening eye disease causing damage to the optic nerve.  The optic nerve is the part of the eye that carries visual signals from the retina to the brain.  The brain then interprets these signals into images that you see. 

ILASIK

 

We know how overwhelming it can be to research your options, and then finally select a qualified surgeon and practice to have refractive surgery. We also know that for many people, just simply making the decision to undergo laser vision correction is an enormous step.

OCULPLASTICS

 

Oculoplastics is a specialized area of ophthalmology that deals with the medical and surgical treatment of the eyelids, the lacrimal system (tear drainage), and the orbital cavity which surrounds the eyeball.

RETINA

 

Age related macular degeneration is the leading cause of vision loss in adults over the age of 50.  ARMD is a disease of the macula, which is the central part of the retina.
