Glaucoma
Glaucoma is the name for a group of eye diseases that damage the optic nerve and can result in vision loss and blindness. Damage is most often caused by increased pressure in the eye when extra fluid builds up in the anterior chamber. Pressure builds because the channels are blocked and the fluid is not released or is released too slowly (open-angle glaucoma). Another risk factor for optic nerve damage relates to blood pressure. So, it is important to work with your medical doctor to control your blood pressure.
Macular Degeneration
Macular Degeneration is a disorder that includes a variety of eye diseases that affect central vision. Central vision is what you see directly in front of you rather than what you see at the side (periphery) of your vision. The cells of the macula (the central portion of the retina) deteriorate and break down. The â€œdryâ€ (atrophic) form is a gradual process as the patient ages and accounts for about 9 in 10 cases of Macular Degeneration. The â€œwetâ€ (exudative) form accounts for about 1 in 10 cases but can cause serious loss of vision in months, even weeks. Wet MD follows in cases of Dry MD when abnormal blood vessels growing in the back of the eye break and leak blood and fluid under the macula.
Laser Eye Surgery
Corrective laser eye surgery has come a long way, but there are still just two basic types of laser surgery. Photo Refractive Keratectomy (PRK) involves removal of the cornea’s outer most layer of tissue, called the epithelium and reshaping the cornea with an excimer laser. LASIK is a second type of eye surgery involving a cutting technique to create a cornea “flap,” reshaping the eye using the excimer laser and replacing the flap.
Cataracts
Cataracts occur when a build-up of proteins in the lens behind the pupil makes the lens cloudy. Although usually age-related, cataracts can be congenital, a result of trauma and certain illnesses or caused by exposure to toxic substances, UV light or radiation. Other risk factors include smoking, air pollution and heavy alcohol consumption.
Cataract Surgery
Cataract surgery is one of the most common operations performed in the United States. It also is one of the safest and most effective. In about 90 percent of cases, people who have cataract surgery have better vision afterward. You can expect temporary blurred vision while your healing eye adjusts and “learns” to focus with your other eye, but more serious complications are not likely. Rarely, infection, bleeding, inflammation (pain, redness, swelling), loss of vision, double vision, and high or low eye pressure can occur but are usually treated successfully with prompt attention.
Eye Exam
A yearly eye exam is an easy and important way to protect your eyes and overall health. A routine eye exam can help detect signs of serious health conditions, like diabetes, a brain tumor and high cholesterol.

Neurology
Years of in-depth clinical research conducted at neurology centers nationwide uncovered a new link between optometry and neurology. Symptomatic patients shared a common trait; a misalignment in their vision that caused symptoms of Trigeminal Dysphoria.
