Lens Implants
Cataracts are one of the most common causes of blurred vision in patients over the age of 50. While the vision is blurred, it can be restored with permanent artificial lens implants inserted into the eye during cataract surgery.
Cornea
The cornea is the clear window in the front of the eye or the outer surface of the eye. The cornea plays a major role in how an individual focuses on images. In conjunction with your natural crystalline lens the cornea helps to provide required focusing power. If the cornea is damaged or becomes weak, visual problems may arise. Because the cornea is such an important part of your visual system please make sure to contact a qualified ophthalmologist if you think you might have damaged your cornea.
LASIK
Many people have struggled with refractive errors that can be treated with LASIK eye surgery. If you think LASIK could potentially help you we encourage you to read through the LASIK section of our website. LASIK is now in its second decade of helping patients reduce or eliminate their dependence on glasses and contact lenses.
Pterygium
A pterygium is a mass that forms on the outer coating of the eye. The growth can interfere with vision, and can cause irritation, redness and tearing. Treatment for pterygium can include eye drops, ointments, and sometimes they are surgically removed. Pyterygium can form from environmental irritants with common symptoms involving dry eye, inflammation, redness, tearing and irritation.
