Ophthalmologists

Glaucoma
Treatment for glaucoma focuses on slowing damage to the optic nerve by lowering the eye pressure with eye drops and laser treatment. Our doctors have extensive experience in detecting and treating glaucoma.
Ophthalmology
The Eye Center of Fort Wayne is a comprehensive medical and surgical eye clinic that offers complete medical eye examinations by specialists in the field of ophthalmology. This includes the diagnosis, management, and treatment of eye diseases, featuring in-house surgery in our state-of-the-art surgical center. The Eye Surgical Center of Fort Wayne is Northeast Indiana’s first nationally accredited ambulatory surgical center, devoted exclusively to eye surgery
Macular Degeneration
Macular degeneration is sometimes referred to as “aging of the retina.” Macular degeneration causes damage to the macula, which is a small area at the back of the eye that allows us to see fine details clearly.
Laser Eye Surgery
Various conditions can lead to dry eye symptoms including, but not limited to, decreased tear production, abnormal or reduced oily tear layer production, decreased blink rate, incomplete blink, inflammation of eyelids, lash mites, wind, low humidity, air pollutants, smoking, medications, menopause, previous LASIK, make-up, and contact lenses.
Cataracts
Selected by his peers as one of the “Best Doctors in America©” and one of “America’s Top Ophthalmologists” by the Consumer’s Research Council of America. Dr. Parent is a nationally recognized board-certified ophthalmologist, specializing in cataract and refractive surgery. The Eye Center of Fort Wayne was the first center to offer Refractive Lens Exchange in Northeast Indiana. The procedures are performed in The Eye Surgical Center of Fort Wayne which is Northeast Indiana’s first governmentally approved ambulatory eye surgical center devoted exclusively to eye care.
Cataract Surgery
Cataract surgery has undergone tremendous technological advances since the days of your parents and grandparents. As one of Indiana’s leading cataract and refractive surgeons, J. Rex Parent, M.D. was one of eleven physicians in the United States (out of 17,500 ophthalmologists) who participated in the national study leading to FDA approval for the first “multifocal” intraocular lens and the first surgeon in the Midwest to implant a multifocal lens. Dr. Parent implanted his first multifocal IOL in 1984 during this study.
Eye Exam
Often the early stages of diabetic retinopathy have no visual symptoms. That is why it is imperative that everyone with diabetes have a comprehensive dilated eye examination once a year. Early detection and treatment can limit the potential for significant vision loss from diabetic retinopathy.

Endocrinologist

Diabetes Care
Diabetic Retinopathy
Diabetic retinopathy is a condition that occurs in people who have diabetes. It causes progressive damage to the retina, the light-sensitive lining at the back of the eye. Diabetic retinopathy is a serious sight-threatening complication of diabetes.

Ultrasound
The procedure consists of numbing the eye with drops, followed by removing the lens from the eye with an ultrasound-vacuum device though a micro-incision. A Femtosecond laser can be used to increase precision of the procedure by creating more exact surgical incisions and correcting astigmatism. A foldable multifocal implant is then inserted through the micro-incision. The procedure is often completed in 10-15 minutes. The recovery time is very rapid, usually within a few days. Only one eye is done at a time, but the second eye can be done within a week or two.

General Surgery
Dr. Ponugoti is a board-certified ophthalmologist who graduated from Illinois College of Medicine in Chicago, Illinois. She did her internship at MacNeal Hospital in Oak Park, Illinois and her residency in Ophthalmology at the University of Illinois in Chicago. Dr. Ponugoti has been providing surgical services at The Eye Center of Fort Wayne since 2013. Dr. Ponugoti has extensive experience with cataract surgery, multifocal intraocular implants, toric intraocular implants and RELACS (Refractive Laser-Assisted Cataract Surgery).
