- Laser Eye SurgeryWith visual changes slowing and sometimes stopping in our 20’s and 30’s, it is recommended to have an exam every 3 to 5 years. More frequently if you wear glasses or contact lenses, or have been diagnosed with eye disease or a visual problem. This is the recommended age for LASIK, to improve and correct vision, lessening or removing the dependence on glasses or contact lenses.
- CataractsA cataract is a condition in which the lens of the eye becomes clouded or opaque. When this occurs, visual disturbances (for example: glare, fuzzy vision) may make daily activities more difficult.
- Cataract SurgeryCataract surgery is the most frequently performed surgical procedure in the world. In conventional cataract surgery, the surgeon uses hand held instruments to manually create a circular opening in the outer shell of the cataract. Next the surgeon uses instruments to break up and remove the cataract. Finally, the surgeon implants an artificial intraocular lens (IOL) inside the remaining shell to replace the natural lens.
- Eye ExamEye exams are important from an early age. The first eye exam should be performed by a pediatrician in the first 3 months of life. Eye exams are recommended next at 1 year and then every 2 years by the pediatrician. Should a visual disturbance be detected, additional evaluation by a pediatric ophthalmologist is recommended. In-school screenings, while serving an important purpose, are not a substitute for an eye exam.

- Eyelid SurgeryOften times, the thinner skin of and around our eyelids is the first place we begin to show the signs of aging. Gravity, exposure to the sun and even heredity can make us appear older then we really are. Delicate skin sags and stretches and fatty cells around the eye bulge. The great news is that there is an effective, permanent, safe solution that can shave years off your appearance. Eyelid surgery, also known as a Blepharoplasty, is one of the most common cosmetic procedures performed today. The procedure is minimally invasive and extremely effective.
