Cataracts
Cataracts are a clouding over of the eyes’ natural lenses. They’re a normal part of the aging process, developing slowly and causing few problems in their early stages. However, over time they mature and the cloudiness increases, causing serious difficulty with many of your everyday activities, from reading and driving to playing golf and watching television. Without intervention, cataracts can lead to a significant loss of sight and eventually, if left untreated, to blindness… Read More
Glaucoma
Glaucoma is one of the leading causes of blindness in the United States. It occurs when fluid within the eye does not drain properly, causing pressure to build on the optic nerve.

They often withdraw from family, friends and those daily activities they most enjoy. Learn more about the causes and symptoms of hearing loss… Read MoreOculoplastics
The eyes are one of the most intricate and delicate parts of the human body. That’s why, if you are considering any surgery around the eyes (whether to address a disorder or to do something cosmetic for aesthetic reasons), you should see an oculoplastic surgeon who is board certified. Oculoplastic surgeons have training in both ophthalmology and plastic surgery; whereas a general plastic surgeon has no specialty training for addressing disorders of the eye… Read More
