General Practitioners

Pediatric Care
The brain cells that control vision are not fully developed at birth and the child’s eye also undergoes maturation throughout the first decade of life. Hence disorders that have little effect on adults may have a profound and life-long effect on a child’s vision. A pediatric ophthalmologist undergoes additional training and has experienced treating ocular disorders that may be unique to children, including eye muscle disorders (Strabismus) and lazy-eye (Amblyopia).

Ophthalmologists

Glaucoma
Glaucoma can affect anyone from newborn infants to the elderly. It has been estimated that up to 3 million Americans have glaucoma. At least half of those people do not know they have it because glaucoma usually has no symptoms. People who are at a greater risk for glaucoma usually have the following conditions...
Ophthalmology
Looking Glass Eye Center, established in 1985 by Dr. Dana Christianson, is a General Ophthalmology practice with six physicians and one optometrist serving the cities of Brevard and Hendersonville, NC and surrounding areas.
Macular Degeneration
Laser Eye Surgery
The location of the disease and the degree of damage to the retina determines the type of treatment of diabetic retinopathy. There are three effective methods in reducing vision loss from this disease. One method is to treat with laser photocoagulation, a way of sealing off the leaking blood vessels and removing new growth. The second treatment option involves intraocular medicines such as Avastin and triamcinolone (Kenalog). Another procedure is to perform conventional eye surgery, a vitrectomy, to remove blood that has leaked into the vitreous humor replacing it with a saline solution.
Cataracts
Over time, the lens of our eye can become cloudy, preventing light rays from passing clearly through the lens. The loss of transparency may be so mild that vision is barely affected, or it can be so severe that no shapes or movements are seen – only light and dark. When the lens becomes cloudy enough to obstruct vision to any significant degree, it is called a cataract. Eyeglasses or contact lenses can usually correct slight refractive errors caused by early cataracts, but they cannot sharpen your vision if a more advanced cataract is present.
Cataract Surgery
With a routine, outpatient surgical procedure, an ophthalmologist (Eye M.D.) can remove the cataract, making either a small incision (phacoemulsification) or a larger incision (extracapsular extraction). Usually, a synthetic intraocular lens (IOL) is inserted at the time of cataract extraction to replace the focusing power of the natural lens. IOL’s can be monovision (fixed-focus for a preset distance) or multifocal, which allows focused vision at many distances. The time to have cataract surgery is when the cataract is affecting your vision enough to interfere with your normal lifestyle.
Eye Exam
Glaucoma is the leading cause of blindness and visual impairment in the United States. A simple painless eye exam can detect the disease. With early detection and treatment, glaucoma can usually be controlled and blindness prevented.

Depression

Endocrinologist

Diabetes Care
Diabetic Retinopathy
Diabetic retinopathy is a potentially blinding complication of diabetes mellitus which causes abnormalities in the tiny blood vessels nourishing the retina. These blood vessels swell and leak blood damaging the retina, the light-sensitive tissue, which lines the back portion of the eye. Left untreated, diabetic retinopathy can result in severe loss of vision and ultimately blindness.
