Arthritis
Dry eyes are a common condition among older adults.Â In fact, the majority of people over the age of 60 exhibit symptoms of dry eyes.Â Some people are naturally predisposed to getting dry eyes like older people and women.Â The most common cause of dry eyes is when a patient has inadequate amount of the water layer of tears, a condition called Keratoconjuctivitis Sicca (KCS).Â There are also some usual causes of dry eyes such as medications, existing medical conditions such as rheumatoid arthritis, and diabetes and thyroid problems.Â Environmental conditions (smoke, wind, and dry climate), long term use of contact lenses, and even laser eye surgery can also contribute to dry eyes.

Smoking Cessation
According to the report by Dr. Birgitta Lindblad and colleagues at Orebro University Hospital, although smoking cessation can minimize oneâ€™s risk for cataract, the risk in former smokers can persist for years. The researcher added that eye care professionals should be one with preventing smoking and cutting the habit especially among individuals who are at great risk for eye diseases.

Ophthalmologists

Glaucoma
Investigative trials are a series of tests and methodical research conducted under controlled conditions. The primary aim of clinical research is to generate relevant data that may be used to determine the efficacy of certain drugs and procedures and improve the treatment of challenging ocular diseases. We have participated in over 75 clinical trials in the areas of dry eye, glaucoma, external disease, cataract and corneal surgery.Â Most of our studies are investigating the effectiveness of treatment after safety has already been established.
Ophthalmology
Dr. Robert Gross received his medical degree from UCLA School of Medicine, completed his residency in Ophthalmology at the Jules Stein Eye Institute, UCLA and completed his fellowship in cornea, external disease, and refractive surgery at the UC Davis Medical Center.Â He has been in practice in the Phoenix Metro area for 17 years.
Macular Degeneration
If you need another reason to quit smoking, it is the fact that the habit is one common source of significant eye problems, such as cataract, macular degeneration, and optic nerve damage. Donâ€™t get disappointed if you failed to quit the first time you tried. The more you keep trying, the more you are likely to be successful.
Laser Eye Surgery
Early in medical school, Dr. Dao completed a year of research in neuroophthalmology under Alfredo Sadun, M.D., Ph.D., at the Doheny Eye Institute in Los Angeles, California. During his fellowship, Dr. Dao has had extensive training in refractive surgery, particularly in LASIK. He has performed LASIK internationally using a variety of microkeratomes as well as several different excimer lasers.
Cataracts
It is very common for our practice, Cornea Consultants of Arizona to treat cataract patients in the Phoenix clinic.Â We explain that cataract is a condition which causes the clouding of the lens that greatly affects vision.Â Normally, a personâ€™s lens is clear which allows light to pass through freely so the patient can see well-defined images.Â But if the eye becomes opaque due to cataract, then the patientâ€™s eyes becomes blurry.
Cataract Surgery
Dr. Nishi Shah attended the University of Alabama School of Medicine for her medical school education and graduated with the highest distinction. She completed her residency training at Callahan Eye Hospital in Birmingham, Alabama. Thereafter, she completed a one-year fellowship in cornea and external disease at the University of Florida Shands Hospital, where she focused on cataract surgery, partial and full thickness corneal transplants, and ocular neoplasm excision and reconstruction.Â
Eye Exam
In this case, a corneal transplant may be your best option. Before considering one, you will need to undergo a thorough eye examination with a qualified eye doctor. This is when exact measurements of your eye will be taken to identify any problems in your eyes that could affect surgery in any way.
