- CryotherapyMy name is Nancy. I am 34 years old. When I was 8 years old I got my first pair of glasses. At that time the Dr. told my parents that I would probably be in contacts within a year because my eyesight was deteriorating very quickly. By putting me in contacts, the Dr.’s would hope to stabilize my vision. The Dr. was right. I was introduced to gas permeable contacts within a year. My eyes were a prescription of minus nine and greater. When I was 24 years old I had cryotherapy done on both of my eyes because my retinas were starting to develop small tears in them. I thought that LASIK was just a dream and that I would never be a candidate. Thanks to the encouragement and support of my husband we began to look into it together.
- Primary CareIt is always best for you to check with your insurance company to verify your medical coverage. Remember that it is ultimately the patient’s responsibility to know your insurance benefits. Any fees your insurance does not cover, you will be responsible for. You may need to see your primary care physician prior to your visit to our office.

- Macular DegenerationMacular degeneration is a deterioration or breakdown of the macula. The macula is a small area in the retina at the back of the eye that allows you to see fine details clearly and perform activities such as reading and driving. When the macula does not function correctly, blurriness, dark areas or distortion can affect your central vision. Macular degeneration affects your ability to see near and far and can make some activities — like threading a needle or reading — difficult or impossible.
- Laser Eye SurgeryIf you have an optometrist that you visit regularly and feel comfortable talking with, he/she may be able to provide you with additional information regarding LASIK and other vision correction procedures. Many optometrists can also perform your pre-surgical exam and provide you with your follow-up care after your LASIK surgery. This is called co-management.

- Diabetes Care
- Diabetic RetinopathyDiabetic retinopathy is a degenerative eye disease characterized by damaged blood vessels and abnormal blood vessel growth. In most cases, good management of diabetes will be enough to delay or prevent the onset of diabetic retinopathy. Yearly eye exams are recommended for all diabetic patients. These yearly eye exams will allow early treatment of damaged blood vessels and help prevent significant loss of vision. Treatment includes laser photocoagulation, steroid injections, and vitrectomy.
