Cryotherapy
With age, the vitreous tends to change in consistence and become more watery. It also tends to shrink and as it does so, it can pull away from its retinal attachments and cause a retinal tear. Retinal tears can then cause the development of a retinal detachment. The watery vitreous fluid passing through the tear lifts the retina off the posterior wall of the eye. The treatment for retinal tears is either done with a laser or cryotherapy (freezing) to reseal the tear to the posterior wall of the eye and prevent a detachment.

Ophthalmologists

Glaucoma
Glaucoma is a disease of the optic nerve which is made up of approximately 2 million nerve fibers that transmit images from the eye to the brain. It usually damages the optic nerve by causing elevated intraocular pressure because of an abnormality in the drainage of the aqueous humor (a clear liquid that normally flows in and out of the eye). The elevated intraocular pressure damages the optic nerve and can lead to visual loss.
Ophthalmology
We are a licensed provider of quality vision care products and personalized Ophthalmology services on the Northshore and surrounding areas.
Macular Degeneration
The actual cause of Age-Related Macular Degeneration is unknown, but if definitely related to age. It is usually detected in people over 65 years old. The main risk factors in its development include family history, high blood pressure, blue eyes, cardiovascular disease, and smoking.
Laser Eye Surgery
Normal daily activities, such as watching TV, driving a car, swimming, or even the initial transition from inside a cool building to the humid outdoors in the summer can be such a challenge to someone wearing glasses, and now there is a solution to these issues. Most of our patients couldn’t have imagined something like this even being possible before LASIK and PRK. It really is such an amazing feeling being able to see without relying on glasses or contacts, especially when you’ve needed the help from a young age.
Cataracts
Cataracts are described as a natural clouding of the eye lens which causes you to see blurred, dull images. Cataracts are very common, affecting about 20 million people worldwide.
Cataract Surgery
The good news, however, is that treatment for cataracts is highly successful; more than 97% of the 3 million-plus surgeries performed each year in the United States are successful. Cataract surgery is considered one of the safest and most effective surgical procedures. In addition, about 95% of patients are able to restore their full pre-cataract distance vision after undergoing the standard intraocular lens (IOL) procedure.
Eye Exam
Symptoms include pain, light sensitivity, redness of the eye, floaters, and blurred vision. The most common causes for this condition include viruses such as herpes, shingles, eye trauma, fungal or parasitic infections, and autoimmune diseases. In a majority of cases, the cause is never completely known. The diagnosis is made by careful eye examination and a series of blood tests, skin tests, or x-rays.

Diabetes Care
Diabetic Retinopathy
The first type is non proliferative or background diabetic retinopathy (BDR). This represents the early stages of diabetic damage to the blood vessels of the retina. When the damage occurs to the retinal vasculature, the blood vessels will leak fluid, blood, or both. This can then lead to either macular edema (swelling) or macular ischemia (poor blood flow). If macular edema develops, the vision will suffer.

Ulcer
Symptoms include pain, redness, tearing, blurred vision, discharge, and sensitivity to light. The treatment depends on the cause of the corneal ulcer.
