Cataract and Refractive Cataract Surgery
Cataract Surgery is one of the most common operations performed today, and the goal is to improve vision by removing the normal aging and cloudy lens inside the eye and replacing it with an artificial intraocular lens implant. There are many things to consider when preparing for cataract surgery. One size does not fit all, nor should it. We listen to what you tell us about how your vision and functionality are being affected.
If you are a candidate, we will also discuss with you the options for a premium intraocular lens implant that can go above and beyond what the standard intraocular lens implant can provide for your vision. Talk to us to learn about your options regarding what your insurance may or may not cover.
In the hands of an experienced surgeon, cataract surgery is a very safe procedure. We follow all standards of care and recommended best practices in order to maximize your safety and success, as well as minimize your risks.
Our goal is ultimately to restore your functionality, improve your quality of life, make you happier with how you view the world, and of course, ensure that you have as pleasant of an experience as possible.
Dry Eye Treatments
Is it dry eye or is it wet eye? Or both? Or neither? Dry Eye can be very confusing to patients, and we understand that. Dry eye is often called as such because the eyes feel dry like “sandpaper” however there are a number of different symptoms as well as exacerbating causes.
Just to keep things interesting, dry eye symptoms can be caused by inflammatory dry eye, aqueous deficiency, oil deficiency, eyelid problems, toxic or underlying medical reasons, or any combination of these. Due to the variety of different causes and exacerbating factors, the treatments can also vary widely. Sometimes getting to the right solution and comfort level takes some trial and error, but with the help of your feedback, we will help you navigate this potentially frustrating journey and develop a regimen that works for you.
Glaucoma Treatments
Glaucoma is the second leading cause of blindness worldwide, and about 3 million Americans have glaucoma. There are often no early symptoms and 50% of people who have glaucoma don’t even know it. Early diagnosis and treatment is essential in preventing permanent loss of vision. On the flip side, many patients can be misdiagnosed with glaucoma and receive years of unnecessary treatment. There are also multiple kinds of glaucoma and the optimum eye pressure isn’t the same for everyone. Treatments are also varied and the considerations for different options depends on the person as well as other concurrent medical issues or medications.
To make a long story short, glaucoma diagnosis and treatment should be individualized, so let us work with you and find the best way to preserve your eyesight in the long run.
Comprehensive Medical Eye Exams
If you have certain medical conditions, or if you take certain medications, it is important to have a thorough medical eye exam that involves more than just checking your glasses prescription. Your primary care doctor or another medical specialist may also ask you to have a complete medical eye exam as a part of their complete evaluation of your health. Or maybe you just want to have a very thorough medical eye exam as a part of preventative care.
Depending on the reason for your visit, you likely will have a thorough dilated eye exam and possible testing to determine if your medical conditions are affecting your eyes, and if you have any other eye conditions that require ongoing monitoring. We will counsel you on the conditions we find and discuss with you what to expect and how to take care of your eyes going forward.
