Ophthalmologists

Glaucoma
A: Glaucoma is simply a high pressure in the eye which causes optic nerve damage through inhibiting circulation to the optic nerve. It is genetically determined; and as an ocular disease, approximately 2% of the population is threatened with glaucomatous visual damage. Glaucoma is particularly dangerous because it causes blind spots which are often undetected in peripheral fields of vision by the patient. Loss of vision with appropriate treatment is likely preventable in patients with this disease. It is important to have frequent glaucoma checks as it is a treatable preventable cause of blindness.

Ophthalmology
Upon finishing his medical school training, he and his family moved to Temple, TX for four years, where he completed training in ophthalmology. He served as chief resident for Baylor Scott & White Ophthalmology in 2021-2022. He is proud to serve the city of Columbia with Columbia Eye Physicians.
Macular Degeneration
A: Macular degeneration is the decrease in visual function of the central portion of the retina called the macula in the back of the eye. This is highly related to vascular changes of aging, similar to hardening of the arteries in the brain. The process will decrease reading, central vision and color vision as there is a higher concentration of color light sensor cells in this region. The patient will often experience distortions in the central vision where straight lines are crooked and no longer allow clear resolution of fine acuity. Anyone over the age of 65 is susceptible to having changes of macular degeneration but it is genetically determined who will have problems and who will not.
Cataracts
A: A cataract is a clouding or blockage of light through the lens, located just behind the iris and pupil of the eye. Symptoms are usually noticed more in dim light as it acts as a filter blocking the amount of light passing through. This may be first noticed in night driving. Cataract surgery is one of the most advanced technologies in medicine today and easily remedies the situation with allowing a safe removal in an outpatient setting in most cases with restoration of vision.
Cataract Surgery
Eye Exam
A refraction is the process of determining if there is a need for corrective eyeglasses or contact lenses. It is an essential part of an eye examination and necessary to write a prescription for glasses or contact lenses.
