Ophthalmologists

Glaucoma
Glaucoma is a disease that causes damage to the optic nerve. If left untreated it can cause irreversible loss of peripheral (side) vision and eventually central vision or total blindness. It is usually caused by increased pressure in the eye, but it can also occur with normal eye pressure. Glaucoma is known as â€œthe silent thief of visionâ€ because early on in the disease process there are little or no symptoms. Early detection is the key to limiting damage from this insidious painless cause of vision loss.

Ophthalmology
NEW! Recent ophthalmology research recognizes that patching alone is NOT enough for the treatment of lazy eye. According to Dr. Hess from the Department of Ophthalmology at McGill University, â€œthe current approach to the treatment of amblyopia [using an eye patch alone] is problematic.... it promotes recovery of monocular vision but because it is not designed to promote binocularity, its binocular outcomes [the ability to gain depth perception] often are disappointing.â€ Dr. Hess uses a video game that forces the two eyes to work together. This achieve not only better eyesight in the weaker eye, but also the development of depth perception which is necessary certain jobs, driving and sports. In fact, developmental optometrists have been practicing this binocular training concept for many years. At our clinic, we have this 3D video-game technology to help patients with lazy eye achieve faster and better outcome.
Macular Degeneration
Macular degeneration is a common condition which affects older individuals increasingly after the age of 60. The macula is the center of the retina in the back of the eye and is responsible for the central part of the vision allowing us to read and see fine detail. With age, this central portion of the retina can undergo degenerative changes which, if severe, can lead to serious loss of central vision. Recently it has become clear that genetics play a major role in the susceptibility of macular degeneration and a family history of it in parents and siblings is a risk factor. Other risk factors include smoking, female gender, light colored eyes and farsightedness.
Laser Eye Surgery
Cataracts
A cataract is a clouding of the eyeâ€™s naturally clear lens. When the natural lens experiences this clouding effect, vision quality is diminished. Many people describe this sensation as looking through a foggy car window or a piece of wax paper. The lens in your eye is responsible for focusing light rays on the retina, which is the part of the eye that senses light and transmits these images to the brain. When the natural lens becomes cloudy, light rays cannot pass through. Vision becomes blurry at this point and as the cataract develops it becomes increasingly difficult to see. Developing cataracts is part of the normal aging process.
Eye Exam
Most cases of amblyopia generally starts between infancy to 5 years old. Often, these children appear to be asymptomatic because they are too young to express or unaware of a vision problem. Other signs of amblyopia include delay in gross motor coordination, poor depth perception, and poor academic performance. The key to detecting refractive amblyopia is prevention. Yearly eye examination starting at 6 months by a trained eye care professional is recommended.

Autism
Children with developmental delays due to acquired or congenital conditions such as Autism Spectrum Disorder or Binocular Vision problems show improvement in school performance and behavior.
Multiple Sclerosis
Neuro-Visual Rehabilitation is an individualized treatment program for patients of all ages, diagnosed with visual deficits as a direct result of physical disabilities, traumatic and / or acquired brain injuries. This includes visual problems caused by Traumatic Brain Injury, Cerebrovascular Accidents, Cerebral Palsy and Multiple Sclerosis.

Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD)
As many as one in four children have an undiagnosed vision problem. Sometimes the problem is misdiagnosed as ADD (attention deficit disorder), ADHD (attention deficit hyperactivity disorder), or dyslexia.

Diabetes Care
Diabetic Retinopathy
Our new retinal camera offers an instant high resolution photo of the retina, optic nerve and macula. We recommend this state of the art screening test to all our patients to assist in the early detection of glaucoma, age-related macula degeneration, diabetic retinopathy, retinal detachment and ocular tumors.

Whiplash
A neurological disorders or trauma to the nervous system can affect a personâ€™s vision. This includes brain injuries, stroke, whiplash, developmental delays, multiple sclerosis and brain tumors. Vision Therapy can effectively treat the visual consequences of these conditions including double vision, lack of focus, visual field deficits and visual processing.

Dermatology
After graduating from San Rafael High School and attending the College of Marin, Areli began her administrative career in banking, beginning as a teller leading to a supervisory role at Union Bank. Her interest in health care then led her to apply her skills and experience at a local dermatology practice before eventually coming to Mill Valley Optometry.Â She is fluent in Spanish which significantly helps us provide the highest level of service to all of our patients.
