General Practitioners

Arthritis
People with active inflammatory or autoimmune conditions other than keratoectasia (for example rheumatoid arthritis, Sjogren’s syndrome etc.)
Cryotherapy
Tears of the retina can occur in any part of the retina, and involve any quadrant of vision. An acute onset of flashes and floaters can represent a retinal tear. In contrast, retinal tears are also sometimes diagnosed on routine examinations of the eye, without any symptoms experienced by the patient! One of the more concerning symptoms of a possible retinal tear is the presence of a shadow, or a piece of the vision that appears to be “missing”. Any such symptoms, particularly in conjunction with flashes and/ or floaters, requires an expedient call to an ophthalmologist or retinal specialist for an evaluation. Depending on the size of the tear, treatment options include laser treatment, cryotherapy, pneumatic retinopexy, or scleral buckle surgery.
Primary Care
Dr. Mindy Berger received her doctorate from the Pennsylvania College of Optometry in Philadelphia. She also received a Bachelor of Arts in Interdisciplinary Science from Arcadia University and a Bachelor of Science from the Pennsylvania College of Optometry. She completed her externships at the Thomas Lynch Pediatric Unit at the Eye Institute of Philadelphia, the Feinbloom Institute for Low Vision in Philadelphia, Norristown Suburban General Hospital, Northern Ophthalmic Associates glaucoma practice, and contact lens and primary care in Burlington, NJ. Dr. Berger has published community health articles in a Philadelphia health magazine.
Emergency Care
The office in Monroe Township is located at 298 Applegarth Road, in the Clearbrook Commons Medical Park. We are located on the second floor of the 298 building, above MyInstaDoc Urgent Care Center. There are stairs and a handicapped-accessible elevator. Our Optical Shoppe is within our office suite, and provides full-service optical dispensing.
Immunizations
Did you know? Cataract surgery is the most common major surgery in the world today, largely due to its great success rate. Public health officials claim that cataract surgery and vaccinations rank #1 and #2 in terms of the greatest health benefits to humans for the cost.

Ophthalmologists

Macular Degeneration
Age-related macular degeneration (ARMD) is a disease that affects older patients. ARMD is the leading cause of visual impairment and blindness in Americans over the age of 60. It affects more than two million people. For as yet unknown reasons, the center of the retina, the macula, begins to deteriorate with time. Because the macula is responsible for virtually all of a person’s sharp, central vision, any degeneration can lead to significant deficits. There are two defined types of macular degeneration.
Laser Eye Surgery
Wills Laser Vision at Princeton is a LASIK facility in Princeton that combines the world-class medical knowledge and technology of Wills Eye Hospital with the skill and experience of the Princeton Eye Group’s surgeons.
Cataracts
A cataract is a cloudiness of the normally transparent lens that is situated behind the iris. The lens focuses light rays on the retina at the back of the eye to produce a sharp image of what we see. When the lens becomes cloudy, the light rays cannot pass easily through it, and the image becomes blurry. It would be equivalent to having the lens in your camera becoming murky.
Cataract Surgery
Because of his seminal work in cataract and laser surgery, he was accorded the Innovators Award by the New Jersey Inventors Hall of Fame. This award draws from all fields and honors only four scientists each year. Dr. Wong is the first clinical physician to be honored in this manner. His innovation, colloquially called the “Wong Way,” has achieved international recognition for making cataract surgery safer. Dr. Wong’s research has put him in the forefront in developing the “advanced technology intra-ocular lenses” which treat age-related near vision loss (the ReSTOR IOL) and astigmatism (the toric IOL). He is one of only eight “mentors” country-wide tasked to set standards of care and teach other eye surgeons the nuances of this new technology.
Eye Exam
Routine eye exams are essential in protecting healthy eyes and maintaining optimal vision. A comprehensive eye examination can help detect a variety of diseases and conditions, which can often be controlled or corrected.

Internal Medicine
Dr. Peter D. Murr, raised in nearby Pennington, NJ, completed a double major in Chemistry and Cell Biology & Neuroscience in the Rutgers College Honors Program, during which he was accepted into the accelerated BA/MD program at Robert Wood Johnson Medical School. As a student, he completed clinical rotations at the old Princeton Hospital on Witherspoon St, and had the privilege of going to Wills Eye Hospital to learn ocular oncology with the Shields and ocular pathology with Dr. Ralph Eagle. Dr. Murr completed his internship in Internal Medicine at the VA Caribbean Healthcare System in San Juan, Puerto Rico, before completing his Ophthalmology residency at Medstar Georgetown University Hospital/Washington Hospital Center in Washington, DC. During residency, Dr. Murr received excellent clinical and surgical training, and enjoyed providing care to our active duty service members and their families at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center and Andrews Air Force Base.
Kidney Stones
Lung Cancer
In 2006, the first Age-Related Eye Disease Study (AREDS) led by the National Institutes of Health found that patients taking the original AREDS supplement formulation — 500 mg of vitamin C, 400 IU of vitamin E, 80 mg of zinc, 15 mg of beta-carotene, and 2 mg of copper — were 25% less likely to progress to advanced AMD than patients who received a placebo. There was additional evidence outside of the trial that suggested that diets high in lutein, zeaxanthin, and omega-3 fatty acids might reduce progression of AMD. For this reason, a second large multi-center trial was commenced, named AREDS2. Other research suggested that beta-carotene, which was part of the original AREDS formula, might increase the risk of lung cancer in smokers, so it needed to be studied more carefully. The dosage of zinc also was examined in AREDS2. There was concern that the 80-mg dose of zinc in the original study might place some patients at risks of side effects.

Diabetes Care
Diabetic Retinopathy
If you have diabetes mellitus, your body does not use and store sugar properly. High blood-sugar levels can damage blood vessels in the retina, the nerve layer at the back of the eye that senses light and helps to send images to the brain. The damage to retinal vessels is referred to as diabetic retinopathy.

Ultrasound
What makes surgery so much safer than before is the minimally invasive nature of the surgery and intra-operative control. Minimally invasive implies use of a specially constructed bloodless incision that is so small that it self-seals, without the need of a suture. Control is achieved by keeping the eye at the same pressure and volume throughout the procedure, by using microprocessor-controlled flow of fluid in and out. In that controlled situation, the clouded lens is liquefied by ultrasound and washed out of the eye. Cataract surgery is usually painless and patients usually can resume most day-to-day activities by the day after surgery.
Radiology
The Princeton office is located in the Princeton Healthcare Center, a large, modern office building containing multiple physician offices, radiology, and surgical suites. We at the intersection of Terhune Road and North Harrison Street, just north of the Princeton Shopping Center.

Plastic Surgeons

Botox
Cosmetic Botox treatments to remove facial wrinkles have only recently gained FDA approval; however the ophthalmologists at The Princeton Eye Group already have years of experience using Botox for medical purposes.
Eyelid Surgery
Twelve years ago, Dr. Felton, the founder of the Princeton Eye Group, was the first doctor in the Princeton area to use Botox for eyelid spasms. Dr. Reynolds, Director of Cosmetic Eyelid Surgery, uses Botox extensively for cosmetic and therapeutic procedures. In fact, he and Dr. Felton regularly hold clinics dedicated exclusively to Botox administration.
Plastic Surgery
Eyelid plastic surgery procedures can be done safely in an outpatient setting by your ophthalmologist. The improvement in vision, comfort and appearance can be very gratifying.
Blepharoplasty
The excess skin in the upper eyelids can be removed surgically by a procedure called a blepharoplasty to improve the peripheral field of vision and other symptoms. Removal of the excess skin in either upper or lower eyelids may improve appearance. If excess fatty tissue is present, it may be removed at the same time.

Lesions
Check with your insurance provider to see if routine eye care (when no problems are known or apparent) is covered. If you do not have coverage, you are responsible for the charge for your examination. If there is a medical reason for your exam, generally your medical health insurance will cover the examination. Check with your insurance provider to see if a referral from your primary care provider (PCP) to a specialist is required. Medical reasons for an eye examination are diverse. These may include dry eyes, eyelid lesions, allergies, conjunctivitis, vision changes due to cataracts, diabetes, hypertension, etc.
