General Practitioners

Cryotherapy
To repair your retinal tear (or hole), your retina specialist may perform what is called a retinal cryopexy. Your eye is numbed, and then your physician will apply a freezing probe to the surface of your eye, directly above the retinal tear (or retinal hole). While looking into your eye, your physician will apply several bursts of cryotherapy to the area. This freezing works to seal the tear. This is an outpatient procedure.
Emergency Care
You may accidently rub your eyes with a substance on your hands, transferring it to your eyes, or have a substance other than water unexpectedly splashed in your eye. When this happens, you should place your head under a steady stream of barely warm tap water for about 15 minutes. Let it run into your eyes and down your face. Call your eye doctor or an emergency room immediately, and make sure to have the substance that got in your eye with you. Do not rub your eyes.

Ophthalmologists

Glaucoma
Oregon Eye Consultants is a leader in retina, cornea, glaucoma, uveitis, comprehensive and urgent ophthalmic care across Eugene, Springfield, Roseburg, Corvallis, Florence, Newport and North Bend, Oregon.
Ophthalmology
Dr. Beardsley grew up in the mountains of western North Carolina. He attended Duke University for his undergraduate degree in marine biology and is a die-hard Blue Devil fan. After spending time as a scuba instructor in Belize and a forest ranger in Colorado, he decided to pursue a career in ophthalmology. For his medical degree, he attended Baylor College of Medicine graduating with honors. He completed his residency at the prestigious Jules Stein Eye Institute at UCLA. Dr. Beardsley continued his training with a fellowship in uveitis at Oregon Health and Science University followed by a fellowship in vitreo-retinal surgery at the University of Minnesota.
Macular Degeneration
During this time, he was awarded the prestigious “K Award” studying age-related macular degeneration. Dr. Hunter then moved to California to complete the acclaimed vitreo-retinal surgical fellowship at the University of California, Davis.
Laser Eye Surgery
Refractive Eye Surgery is a surgery used to improve or fix refractive errors, and to decrease or eliminate the need to depend upon glasses or contact lenses. Refractive Surgery reshapes the cornea, and successful refractive surgery can reduce effects from astigmatism, nearsightedness or farsightedness.
Cataracts
Our eyes contain a natural lens that bends (refracts) light coming into our eyes to help us see. When you have a cataract, that lens that is naturally clear becomes cloudy. It may seem as if you are looking through a dusty car windshield or fog. Objects and people may look blurry, hazy or less vibrant. Aging is the most common cause; normal proteins in the lens start to break down, causing the lens to get cloudy.
Cataract Surgery
Dr. Kunz also specializes in laser vision correction surgery and cataract surgery with intraocular lens (IOL) implantation. He offers advanced technology lens implants for the correction of astigmatism and near vision to decrease the dependence of glasses after cataract surgery. He also performs a variety of cornea transplantation techniques including: Penetrating Keratoplasty (PK), Deep Anterior Lamellar Keratoplasty (DALK), and Descemet’s Stripping Automated Endothelial Keratoplasty (DSAEK).
Eye Exam
Patients being seen for a comprehensive medical eye exam should plan on being in our office 60 to 90 minutes. During this time, YOU MAY be DILATED at your appointment and you will receive a refraction that will allow your physician to determine the need for a prescription for glasses and/or contacts. Your ophthalmologist will also perform routine medical testing during your visit. Additional testing may be needed as decided by your physician.

Endocrinologist

Diabetes Care
Diabetic Retinopathy
People with diabetes are at risk for eye disease called diabetic retinopathy. High blood sugar levels cause damage to blood vessels that can swell, leak or close and inhibit the blood flowing through them. Abnormal new blood vessels can even grow on the retina. All of these factors can substantially impact your vision. Receive routine eye examinations if you have diabetes.Your ophthalmologist may treat your diabetic retinopathy with medication injections, with laser treatments or a combination of both.

Ultrasound
Ultrasound Biomicroscopy (UBM) is a way to image much of the anatomy of the anterior segment of your eye. Oregon Eye Consultants performs UBM testing at our Eugene location.

Plastic Surgeons

Blepharoplasty
As you age, your eyelids stretch and the muscles that support them weaken. The skin can droop and interfere with your eyes, and therefore your sight. Blepharoplasty also sometimes termed an eye lift, is a surgery that repairs droopy eyelids by removing excess skin, muscle and fats.
