General Practitioners

Cryotherapy
Retinal tears can lead to a retinal detachment. Fluid vitreous, passing through the tear, lifts the retina off the back of the eye like wallpaper peeling off a wall. Laser surgery or cryotherapy (freezing) are often used to seal retinal tears and prevent detachment.
Primary Care
Amblyopia affects about three out of every 100 people. The best time to correct it is during infancy or early childhood, because after the first nine years of life, the visual system is normally fully developed and usually cannot be changed. It is recommended that children have their eyes and vision monitored by their primary care physician at their well-child visits. If there is a family history of amblyopia, children should be screened by an ophthalmologist (Eye M.D.).
Smoking Cessation
There are numerous community organizations committed to helping people quit smoking. The American Cancer Society (ACS) offers smoking cessation classes across the United States. Contact ACS at 800.ACS.2345 or online at www.cancer.org to find the chapter near you.
Emergency Care
Chemicals that burn should be rinsed from the eye immediately. Chemical burns can cause severe damage, so eyes should be flushed immediately. If sterile solutions or eyewashes are readily available, use them to flush the affected eye. If not, flush the eye with liberal amounts of water from the nearest sink, shower, or hose for ten minutes. Be sure water is getting under both the upper and lower eyelids. After they eyes have been flushed for ten minutes, bring the child to the emergency room immediately. The ultimate visual outcome after a chemical burn depends on the severity of the injury, which cannot always be identified in the initial examination.

Ophthalmologists

Glaucoma
A glaucoma screening is a critical part of routine eye examinations, so make your eye health a priority by scheduling an exam today by calling our office.
Ophthalmology
Charles D. Woods, MD, of Eye and Cataract Associates has built a thriving ophthalmology practice focused on meeting the eye health needs of residents from in and around Huntsville and Decatur, Alabama. The practice offers top-quality services across the full scope of ophthalmology needs, from routine eye exams to the latest in complex surgical solutions.
Macular Degeneration
Macular degeneration, often called age-related macular degeneration, or AMD, occurs when the cells within your macula begin to break down. That impacts the communication between your macula and brain, distorting your vision.
Laser Eye Surgery
Your ophthalmologist may also use pachymetry to measure the thickness of your cornea, which helps evaluate the accuracy of your intraocular pressure measurement. After applying numbing eyedrops, your ophthalmologist will use ultrasonic waves to measure your corneal thickness. This test is also a critical component of evaluating a patient's candidacy for LASIK surgery.

To date, we’re thrilled to have collected 14 reviews with an average rating of 5 out of 5 stars. Please read what others are saying about Charles D. Woods, MD, Eye and Cataract Associates below, and as always, we would love to collect your feedback.
Cataract Surgery
If your cataracts have clouded to the point that proper vision is no longer possible, surgery can help. Cataract surgery involves removing the damaged lens and replacing it with an artificial lens, called an intraocular lens.
Eye Exam
Schedule a comprehensive eye examination to learn more about your current eye health and how to preserve healthy vision for a lifetime. Call the office to book an appointment.

Diabetes Care
Thyroid
Some studies suggest that in people with high blood sugar levels, smoking may be linked to diabetic retinopathy, or damage to the blood vessels in the retina. The optic nerve is also susceptible to damage from smoking. People with poor diets who smoke heavily and drink excessive amounts of alcohol run the risk of developing optic nerve–related vision loss (called tobacco–alcohol amblyopia). Certain optic nerve problems, like Leber's hereditary optic neuropathy, can run in families. People with this condition who smoke have increased risk of vision loss. Some patients with thyroid disease (called Graves' disease) may also have eye involvement; smoking may cause their eyes to become worse, and vision loss is also possible.
Diabetic Retinopathy
Diabetes creates excess blood sugar, which damages the structural integrity of your blood vessel walls. Blood vessels in your retina can become weak or overly thick, can experience leaks, abnormal growths, or clots, and can even close off completely. Those changes are referred to as diabetic retinopathy.

Plastic Surgeons

Eyelid Surgery
When you’re ready to explore what eyelid surgery can do for you, book a consultation with Dr. Woods by calling our office to get started.
Blepharoplasty
Blepharoplasty is a surgical procedure to augment the shape or improve the function of your eyelids. The procedure can be done on your upper or lower eyelids or both.

Ulcer
There are two very common types of corneal ulcers. Bacterial ulcers tend to be the most painful type of corneal ulcer, and in some cases, if left untreated, can cause severe damage or even corneal perforation. Sterile ulcers, on the other hand, usually cause little or no pain.
Fungus
Corneal ulcers, or keratitis, can form due to trauma to the cornea, eyelid disease, severe dry eye, fungus, herpes simplex viral infections, and other causes.
Skin Care
During treatment, you may want to avoid wearing makeup or using skin care products on or around your eyelids. Layering cosmetics or lotions onto your eyelids can make it harder for your body to respond to treatment efforts and can also increase the risk of infection.
