Ophthalmologists

Glaucoma
Glaucoma is a leading cause of blindness in the U.S. It occurs when the pressure inside the eye rises, damaging the optic nerve and causing vision loss. The condition often develops over many years without causing pain or other noticeable symptoms – so you may not experience vision loss until the disease has progressed.
Ophthalmology
Dr. Siegel's involvement in low vision extends beyond the office as he frequently lectures to low vision groups and support groups for the visually impaired. He has been directly involved in the formation of support groups, as well. Dr. Siegel has also been asked to speak to local and state agencies, which work with the blind and visually impaired. He has developed low vision services for many ophthalmology practices, which previously did not have such a service.
Macular Degeneration
The macula is a part of the retina in the back of the eye that ensures that our central vision is clear and sharp. Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) occurs when the arteries that nourish the retina harden. Deprived of nutrients, the retinal tissues begin to weaken and die, causing vision loss. Patients may experience anything from a blurry, gray or distorted area to a blind spot in the center of vision.
Laser Eye Surgery
The surgeons at Northern New Jersey Eye Institute have extensive experience performing a wide spectrum of LASIK and related refractive eye surgeries. LASIK procedures have proven to be effective at providing patients with a safe and painless option for permanently improving their vision. These procedures are capable of treating nearsightedness and farsightedness, as well as astigmatism, and eliminate the need for glasses and/or contact lenses. With the ability to perform multiple vision correction procedures, our eye surgeons will be able to recommend the procedure that is right for you.

Cataracts
A cataract is a cloudy area in the lens in the front of the eye. There is no pain associated with the condition but there are other symptoms, including...
Cataract Surgery
Crystalens is a new cataract replacement lens (IOL) that works naturally with muscles in the eye to retain the eye’s ability to "accommodate" – shift focus between nearby and distant objects – after cataract surgery. With other IOLs, patients lose this ability and require corrective measures such as glasses or contact lenses.
Eye Exam
Retinoschisis. A disease that occurs when the retina splits into two layers. It can result in loss of vision, flashes of lights, and floaters. Retinoschisis is a degenerative condition most commonly found in individuals over the age of forty. Retinoschisis can be spotted during a routine eye examination and often is a benign condition that simply needs to be monitored. If the disease progresses, symptoms can be more severe and signal a detached retina.

Internal Medicine
Elliot S. Crane, MD is a specialist in Refractive Surgery (LASIK), Corneal Diseases, and Cataracts. Raised in New Jersey, he graduated from The College of New Jersey with a degree in Biomedical Engineering through the 7-year BA-MD program. He graduated from Rutgers New Jersey Medical School with an M.D. and a Distinction in Research. Dr. Crane continued his medical education with an internship in internal medicine and a residency in Ophthalmology at Rutgers New Jersey Medical School. Dr. Crane then completed a fellowship in Cornea, Refractive Surgery, and External Disease (including dry eye) in Albany, New York through Albany Medical Center. Dr. Crane is proud to be able to offer the newest types of corneal, cataract, and anterior segment surgeries to his patients, including refractive cataract surgery, corneal transplants including DMEK (endothelial keratoplasty), LASIK, cross linking, and intraocular lens (IOL) exchanges. In his free time, Dr. Crane enjoys solving puzzles, bicycling, and traveling with his wife, Dr. Eve Crane (Eve Rosenheck), who is a psychiatry resident at Rutgers New Jersey Medical School.

Diabetes Care
Diabetic Retinopathy
Diabetic Retinopathy. A common complication of diabetes that causes the blood vessels in the retina to swell and leak fluid. Early stages progress without symptoms, but as the disease develops abnormal blood vessels build up on the retina and can cause cloudy vision or blindness. Abnormal fibrous tissue can develop in later stages, causing retinal detachment and dramatic vision loss. Early diagnosis of diabetes and regular treatment is crucial to preventing diabetic retinopathy from effecting vision.

Plastic Surgeons

Botox
Patients with blepharospasm are generally referred to ophthalmologists or neurologists for treatment. A generally accepted standard of care for blepharospasm in people 12 years and older is treatment with BOTOX® (onabotulinumtoxinA) neurotoxin. BOTOX® therapy inhibits the release of a neurotransmitter, acetylcholine, from nerve cells, blocking the signals that promote muscle contraction. The effect is temporary and the treatment can be readministered approximately every three months depending on the individual patient. If a functionally impaired patient does not respond to less invasive treatments, surgical therapy to remove some or all of the muscles responsible for eyelid closure (a procedure called protractor myectomy) may be recommended. If you suffer from blepharospasm, talk to your eye care professional about treatment options.
Eyelid Surgery
Plastic Surgery
Dysport injections are made of a solution of purified, diluted botulinum toxin. The injection acts to freeze the muscles in the affected area, which causes the muscles to contract less frequently and stop forming wrinkles. An injection can last up to four months. Patients often see the results fade after a few months, and it is safe to have repeat injections when the wrinkles start to return to the affected area. It’s an attractive alternative to plastic surgery, as there isn’t any recovery time. Dysport treats the muscles around the eyes, not the eyes themselves.
Blepharoplasty
The procedure is usually performed in an office with local anesthesia and lasts 45 minutes to a few hours depending on how much work is done. Incisions are made along the eyelids in inconspicuous places (in the creases of the upper lids, and just below the lashes on the lower lids). The surgeon removes excess tissue through these incisions and then stitches them closed with fine sutures. In the case that no skin needs to be removed, the surgeon will likely perform a transconjunctival blepharoplasty, where the incision is made inside the lower eyelid and there are no visible scars.
Lip Augmentation
Perlane® is an injectable cosmetic dermal filler that has been used to soften wrinkles and facial folds of patients across the world. It is also a popular filler for lip augmentation, facial depressions, and facial scarringPerlane® is made from non-animal stabilized hyaluronic acid (NASHA) gel. This means that Perlane® contains no animal products. Since hyaluronic acid is a natural substance found in the skin and other tissue, there is no need for a skin test when using Perlane® filler.

Lesions
Dr. Crane is an expert in the use of lasers for the treatment of diabetic eye disease, glaucoma treatment, plastic surgery and skin wrinkle removal, as well as treatment of "after cataracts," skin lesions, and refractive errors.
