Cataracts
When you have a problem with your eyes or with your vision, we are the people you'll want to see first. The medical approach to eye care is quite common among eye doctors, even dedicated ones. The main concern there is making sure that your eyes are healthy and that your visual acuity is as clear as it can be. These are indeed important considerations. Our model, however, incorporates a broader approach. The medical model is only the beginning. We are concerned with what you do with your eyes on a daily basis. What are your specific work activities; what sports are you playing; what are your hobbies; how much time do you spend reading or on the computer; how much driving do you do? If you are in school are you having difficulty learning? Can you accomplish your workload without feeling eyestrain? We consider the ergonomics of your workstation, your lifestyle, and your nutrition. We strive to improve your functioning with the judicious application of counseling, lenses, contact lenses, vision therapy, lighting, nutrition, and topically applied medication. If surgery is needed, we will direct you to a fine and appropriate surgeon. In fact we co-manage cataract surgery and refractive surgery such as LASIK. Surely we strive to maintain the health of your precious eyes, but we further seek to improve the efficiency of your visual system based on your individual needs.
