General Practitioners

Primary Care
Treatment for patients diagnosed with hypertensive retinopathy is medical management of the high blood pressure. Those with an underlying treatable cause would be treated accordingly by their primary care physician. Follow-up by an ophthalmologist is typically every few months to yearly.
Family Practice

Ophthalmologists

Glaucoma
Glaucoma is the name for a group of eye diseases that lead to damage of the optic nerve. The optic nerve is composed of over 1.2 million axons that carry information from the eye to the brain. When the optic nerve is damaged you can lose your vision.
Ophthalmology
Dr. Dawood obtained his medical degree from Cairo University, he graduated with Excellent honors and completed his residency in ophthalmology at the National eye institute in Cairo, Egypt.
Macular Degeneration
Age related macular degeneration (AMD) is one of the most common causes of poor vision after age 60. Although the specific cause is unknown, AMD seems to be part of aging. While age is the most significant risk factor for developing AMD, heredity, blue eyes, high blood pressure, cardiovascular disease, and smoking have also been identified as risk factors. AMD accounts for 90 percent of new legal blindness in the US.
Laser Eye Surgery
Glaucoma can also be seen after an eye injury, eye surgery, or from an eye tumor. There are also medicines (corticosteroids) that have been associated with glaucoma.
Cataracts
A cataract is a clouding that occurs in the lens of the eye. The lens is located directly behind the iris (colored part of the eye). It is what is responsible for the correct focusing of images onto the retina. As the lens gets deposits on it and becomes cloudy, the vision progressively worsens.
Cataract Surgery
Cataract surgery is performed with the aid of an operating microscope. A small incision is made and microsurgical instruments are used to fragment the cloudy lens and suction the remnants from the eye. The “dirty” lens is replaced with a clear lens implant which is placed back into the eye. These implants are specially made for each individual and require measurements to be taken before the surgery. Stitches are generally not required and the surgery is usually performed on an out-patient basis. Most people return to work shortly after surgery and full activity is usually allowed after two weeks.
Eye Exam
People with type 1 diabetes should see their eye care professional annually for a dilated eye examination beginning five years after the onset of diabetes.

Pregnancy

Internal Medicine
Driven by high goals, he moved to USA to start over his education and career, he completed a residency in internal medicine and was the chief hospitalist at Mercy Hospital in Chicago.
Urology
Dr. Patrianakos has surgical and admitting privileges at Swedish Covenant Hospital and resides in Glenview with his lovely wife, Leah, who is a physician assistant in Urology and their three sons.

Endocrinologist

Diabetes Care
Diabetic Retinopathy
The key to preventing diabetic related eye problems is good control of blood sugar levels, a healthy diet and good eye care. Several studies such as the Diabetic Control and Complication Trial (DCCT) and the United Kingdom Progression of Diabetes Study (UKPDS) showed that strict blood sugar control limited both the onset and progression of diabetic retinopathy. In addition to this, blood pressure and cholesterol levels have to be controlled. Smokers should stop smoking, and overweight people with diabetes should develop a diet and exercise regimen to help them achieve a healthy weight.
