Ophthalmologists

Glaucoma
Tonometry is the name for a variety of tests that can be performed to determine the pressure inside the eye. Elevated internal eye pressure can cause glaucoma, which is vision loss due to damage to the sensitive optic nerve in the back of the eye. The most common method used for tonometry is the “air puff” test where an automated instrument discharges a small burst of air to the surface of your eye. Another popular way to measure eye pressure is with an instrument called an applanation tonometer, which is attached to a slit lamp and a bright-blue glowing probe manually measures the intraocular pressure. Since glaucoma is often the result of an increase of pressure inside the eye, these are important tests for ensuring the long-term health of your eyes.

Cataracts
Cataracts are a natural part of the aging process and can first appear when a person is in his or her 40’s or 50’s but do not affect vision until later in life. Most people 60 years of age or older are diagnosed with some level of cataracts during a comprehensive exam.
Cataract Surgery
Years ago cataract surgery was considered risky and postponed for as long as possible. With the advances in today’s technology, cataract surgery is an outpatient procedure and patients are back home within a few short hours. Except for placing an IV, there are no needles, shots, or stitches with cataract surgery. Most patients report
