Infectious Diseases
Dr. Shield is a New England native. He completed his medical training and ophthalmology residency at Yale Medical School in New Haven, Connecticut. He received advanced fellowship training in the diagnosis and management of ocular inflammatory and infectious diseases, known as uveitis.

Ophthalmologists

Glaucoma
Glaucoma is a group of diseases that can damage the optic nerve, causing loss of peripheral vision. Untreated glaucoma can lead to blindness. Fortunately, glaucoma is often preventable. Early detection is the key to preventing serious vision loss or blindness from glaucoma.
Ophthalmology
Eye Physicians of Northampton is a renowned multi-specialty ophthalmology practice with locations in Florence and Amherst, Massachusetts. Our focus is on compassionate and comprehensive medical, surgical and optical care. We provide our patients the care and attention they deserve, while providing them the best possible vision and overall eye health.
Macular Degeneration
Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) is the leading cause of blindness in the United States. Macular degeneration is caused by the deterioration of the central tissue of the retina, which records the image we see and sends them to the optic nerve from the eye to the brain. This central portion of the retina is known as the macula, which controls our ability to read, drive a car, recognize faces or colors and sees fine detail. Macular degeneration may cause blurring and distortion of the central vision in the eye. The words on a page may look blurred or wavy and straight lines may look distorted.
Laser Eye Surgery
Drs. Hubbe, Shatz, Shield, and Gal of Eye Physicians of Northampton are board-certified ophthalmologists with advanced training and extensive experience in highly sophisticated vision-improving procedures. Our doctors specialize in cataract surgery with premium lens implantation, LASIK, corneal transplantation, oculoplastics, glaucoma, and diabetic care, just to name a few. Visit each’s practitioner’s page to read more about their individual specialties, education, and training.
Cataracts
Development of cataracts is usually part of the normal human aging process. The natural, clear lens of the eye gradually becomes cloudy, blocking light as it passes through the eye. The condition can be compared to a window that is frosted or “fogged” with steam.
Cataract Surgery
When you have a cataract, the lens within your eye has become cloudy and your vision becomes impaired. It must be removed and replaced with a clear artificial lens, which surgeons call an Intraocular Lens, or IOL. This new lens gives patients clear, cataract free vision. Your surgeon will only perform cataract surgery on one eye at a time and if needed, typically performs cataract surgery on the second eye a few weeks later.
Eye Exam
Most people start to experience issues at night, especially while driving. Car lights can have an unusual impairment on night vision and street signs can become difficult to read. Glare and halos at night are very common in patients with cataracts. Colors also appear faded and not as vibrant. Although, cataracts form so slowly over time, patients don’t typically notice the loss of vibrancy with colors. Patients also start to require more and more light in order to read well. Patients might also feel that they need a stronger prescription for their glasses, but eventually, glasses no longer help and the cataract must be removed. Some patients even experience double vision when looking through only one eye. An eye exam from an optometrist or ophthalmologist can help quickly determine if you have a cataract. If you feel like cataracts are impairing your vision, call our office today to schedule an evaluation with one of our skilled ophthalmologists.

Internal Medicine
Born in Israel and raised in Wisconsin, Dr. Gal attended the University of Wisconsin – Madison for her undergraduate studies and Sackler School of Medicine in Israel for her medical education. She then pursued Internal Medicine training, a pre-residency ophthalmology fellowship and research in Ultrasound Biomicroscopy in New York City before completing her Ophthalmology Residency at Louisiana State University and moving on to complete her advanced fellowship training in Oculoplastics in Pensacola, Florida.

Endocrinologist

Diabetes Care
Thyroid
Diabetic Retinopathy
All diabetics are at risk for developing diabetic retinopathy, but not everyone with diabetes develops it. Diabetes affects blood vessels throughout the body and diabetic retinopathy occurs when blood vessels in the eyes are affected by this process.

Ultrasound
Once numb, your surgeon then uses a technology called phacoemulsification to break the cataract into smaller pieces so it can be easily removed. The phacoemulsification technique uses ultrasound which allows surgeons to perform cataract surgery in only minutes and helps with a faster healing time. Once your cataract is removed, your surgeon will then implant an artificial IOL, which will allow you to see well. Many patient will still require glasses in order to see well in the distance and nearly all will require reading glasses or bifocals in order to see up close.

Plastic Surgeons

Botox
Brow Lift
The problem with an aging forehead is the effect it has on our facial expressions and visual function—a sagging, heavily furrowed brow can cause us to look constantly tired, worried or even angry as well as cause blockage of your field of vision. Some people are also genetically inclined to have a heavier, thicker brow, making them look as though they are sleepy or angry. A brow lift directly addresses these issues, helping patients enjoy a more naturally refreshed appearance as increases their field of vision.
Eyelid Surgery
Eyelid surgery: droopy eyelids or brows, eyelid malpositions (entropion, ectropion), Bell’s palsy for poor eyelid closure, skin cancer reconstruction, correction of eyelashes poking the eye, floppy eyelids
Plastic Surgery
Is the plastic surgery operation for correcting defects, deformities, and disfigurations of the eyelids; and for aesthetically modifying the eye area commonly referred to as an “eye lift” or “lid lift”. With the excision and the removal, or the repositioning (or both) of excess tissues, such as skin and fat, and the reinforcement of the muscle and tendo
Blepharoplasty
N tissues, the blepharoplasty procedure resolves functional and cosmetic problems of the area from the eyebrow to the upper portion of the cheek.
Forehead Lift
A brow lift, also commonly called a forehead lift, repositions the facial tissue and muscles above the eyes to restore visual fuction and aesthetic appearance. By removing excess sagging, skin on the forehead and repositioning the underlying muscles and tissues, a brow lift can correct a heavy, sagging brow, eliminate deep furrows. Sagging of the forehead and eyebrow tissue can compound issues like ptosis and increase the need for blepharoplasty.

Skin Cancer
The eyelids and skin around the eyes are not immune to skin cancers. Fortunately, most of the eyelid cancers we see are of the Basal Cell variety. Basal cell cancer spreads locally and once it is “out”, it is gone. For everything but the small localized growths, we utilize the services of a Mohs surgeon to completely excise the cancer using serial microscopic analysis.
Lesions
Tarsorrhaphy is a surgical procedure in which the eyelids are partially sewn together to narrow the eyelid opening. It may be done to protect the cornea in cases of corneal exposure. It is one of the safest and most effective procedures for healing difficult-to-treat corneal lesions. Tarsorrhaphy is most commonly performed to protect the cornea from exposure caused by inadequate eyelid coverage, as may occur in Graves disease or facial nerve (CN VII) dysfunctions such as Bell palsy. It can also be used to aid in the healing of indolent corneal ulceration sometimes seen with tear-film deficiency, herpes simplex or zoster, stem cell dysfunction, or CN V dysfunction (neurotrophic lesions), Möbius syndrome or after corneal graft surgery. Tarsorrhaphies may be temporary or permanent; in the latter case, raw tarsal edges are created to form a lasting adhesion. They may be total or partial, depending on whether all or only a portion of the lid is fused and which part of the eye is therefore is occluded.
