Ophthalmologists

Glaucoma
Glaucoma is one of the leading causes of blindness in people over the age of 40. It is a group of diseases that lead to vision loss. Vision loss occurs when higher eye pressure compresses the optic nerve, causing damage. As the nerve fibers are lost, so is the vision. This process is referred to as glaucoma.
Ophthalmology
Dr. Yuen’s residency training in ophthalmology was completed at the University of Texas, where he gained an extensive clinical experience learning under some of the top minds in the field.
Macular Degeneration
Macular degeneration is a condition that causes the macula (the central portion of the retina) to deteriorate. This condition can cause central vision loss, as the macula is responsible for clear, central vision. Macular degeneration (AMD) varies in severity, and there are two main types: dry AMD and wet AMD. Dry AMD is common and less severe, although lifestyle changes may be required to stop its progression. Wet AMD is more severe and can cause severe vision loss. Wet AMD may require injections and surgery to reduce vision loss.
Laser Eye Surgery
Upon completion of his required training, Dr. Yuen received additional training in oculoplastic surgery with James Merritt, Dallas, Texas. Today, Dr. Yuen is at the cutting edge in both eye surgery in the operating room as well as office based surgery.
Cataracts
A cataract is a clouding of the lens in the eye that affects vision. Most cataracts are related to aging.Â A cataract can occur in either or both eyes. It cannot spread from one eye to the other.
Cataract Surgery
For my entire life, I have always had to wear glasses or contacts. Since the age of 3, I have been wearing glasses. By age 16, I was one of the first patients to wear the 9 mm hard contact lens. Upon examination by my optometrist, I was told I had cataracts that were obstructing my vision and recommended Dr. Carlton Yuen as the ophthalmologist to take care of my problem. Dr. Yuen confirmed the cataract diagnosis and explained that for the first time in my life, I could be free of wearing contact lenses or glasses by implanting a multi-focal lens. I had the perfect surgical experience, lost only 3 days of work and am so happy with my results that I would highly recommend the multi-focal lens and Dr. Yuen to everyone who is a candidate for cataract surgery. You wonâ€™t be disappointed!
Eye Exam
Following a careful and comprehensive eye examination and measurement of eye pressure, your eye doctor will examine the drainage tube of the eye with a special contact lens. The retina, and specifically the optic nerve, will also be closely examined to look for any glaucoma changes. A patient should expect visual field tests at least once a year, and maybe twice a year in the more severe cases. Special pictures of the optic nerve will also be obtained on a routine basis to help the doctor detect any subtle changes from glaucoma.

Internal Medicine

Endocrinologist

Diabetes Care
Diabetic Retinopathy
Diabetic retinopathy is caused by uncontrolled blood sugar levels in diabetic patients. Diabetic retinopathy causes the tiny blood vessels in the retina to become swollen. These blood vessels can also leak fluid and blood into the eye cavity. This can cause blind spots in vision, as the fluid blocks light from getting to the retina. Diabetic retinopathy, when left untreated, can progress into a severe form called â€œproliferative retinopathyâ€ .

Blepharoplasty
Aging is a normal part of life, but that doesnâ€™t mean we have to live with all of its effects. When it comes to showing your age, your face is typically the first giveaway.
