- Glaucoma
- OphthalmologyThe American Academy of Ophthalmology and the American Association for Pediatric Ophthalmology have developed specific childhood eye screening guidelines.
- Macular DegenerationMacular degeneration is an eye disease that can blur your central vision. It happens when aging causes damage to the macula — the part of the eye that controls sharp, straight-ahead vision. The macula is part of the retina (the light-sensitive tissue at the back of the eye).
- Laser Eye SurgeryLasik is a laser eye surgery used to treat nearsightedness, farsightedness, and astigmatism. A laser is used to reshape the cornea which improves the way light rays are focused on the retina.
- CataractsA cataract is a cloudy area in the lens of your eye. Cataracts are very common as you get older. In fact, more than half of all Americans age 80 or older either have cataracts or have had surgery to get rid of cataracts.
- Cataract SurgeryThe good news is that surgery can get rid of cataracts. Cataract surgery is safe and corrects vision problems caused by cataracts.
- Eye ExamEye doctors can check for this as part of a comprehensive dilated eye exam. The exam is simple and painless — your doctor will give you some eye drops to dilate (widen) your pupil and then check your eyes.
- Diabetes Care
- Diabetic RetinopathyDiabetic retinopathy is an eye condition that can cause vision loss and blindness in people who have diabetes. It affects blood vessels in the retina (the light-sensitive layer of tissue in the back of your eye).
- Eyelid Surgery
- BlepharoplastyDermatochalasis is a condition that affects a significant portion of the population. Dermatochalasis is known as “baggy eyes,” and has a tired appearance which is caused by excess eyelid skin, the condition is potentially more problematic than a cosmetic concern. A permanent solution to this procedure is usually a surgery called blepharoplasty (commonly referred to as an “eye lift”). Over hundreds of thousands of patients undergo this procedure annually.
