Primary Care
Vision is a complex system that requires specific subspecialists working together in order to maintain healthy eyes and good vision for the patient. Optometry plays a key role in this. Think of the optometrist as your primary care provider of the eye world. Do you see an orthopedic surgeon for your annual physical exam or instead, do you see a Primary Care Physician (PCP)? Your optometrist is the PCP of your vision. They evaluate the health of the eye and visual system, working with you to isolate any potential issues, referring and co-managing with sub-specialty ophthalmologists when appropriate. EMG works with an amazing network of optometrists that provide excellent primary care for the eyes. We work closely with them to coordinate your care. This allows for the right care, at the right time, by the right expert. It is best to start with an optometrist in order to assess the underlying issue and to outline and coordinate the best possible course of action. Just because you may not be at 53 Sewall St. in Portland Maine, by working with an optometrist within our network, you will always be an EMG patient. If and when the time comes, your optometrist will coordinate with us to have your ophthalmological needs taken care of.
Smoking Cessation
Smoking â€“ Not only does it cause a tremendous amount of cardiovascular disease, but cigarette smoking also dramatically increases the risk of cataract. There is a direct relationship between cigarette smoking and visually significant cataract changes; this argues for early smoking cessation or avoidance altogether!

Ophthalmology
Â€œI always wanted to have patients that I could get to know and take care of for the long haul. However, I also loved the exciting possibility of helping patients by using microsurgery techniques. I found that ophthalmology was the only specialty that mixed these two aspects of patient care in the way I wanted. Once I realized this, ophthalmology was the only choice I seriously considered.â€

Cataract Surgery
Cataract surgery with lens implantation has become the most common type of surgery performed by medical doctors throughout the world. As advancements in surgical technology and lens implantation options continue to develop, the surgery has become a very good option for many patients as their vision begins to deteriorate in different ways throughout life. We see a significant number of patients each day at Eyecare Medical Group for cataract and lens implantation evaluations; all of whom are seeking improvements in their vision, a reduction in dependence on glasses, and an improvement in their quality of life.
Eye Exam

Diabetic Retinopathy
Diabetic retinopathy occurs when high blood sugar damages blood vessels in the retina. The back of your eye is full of tiny thin-walled blood vessels called capillaries.

Ultrasound
Your eye surgeon will gently pass another sophisticated microscopic instrument through the tiny incision. Sound waves or â€œUltrasoundâ€ produced at the tip of the instrument will be used to gently break the cataract into pieces small enough to be washed away, drawn through the instrument and removed from your eye. This cataract removal technique is called â€œphacoemulsificationâ€ and is preferred for most patients.
