Glaucoma
Glaucoma is a disease that leads to damage of the optic nerve (the nerve that travels between each eye and the brain). The nerve damage may result in gradual, progressive loss of peripheral vision.
Ophthalmology
Dr. Tran was born and raised in Alexandria, LA as a product of the Vietnam war through the union of a first generation Southern Vietnamese immigrant and an American woman. He and his 7 siblings' upbringing can be summed up in two words, "one bathroom." His humble roots taught him compassion and appreciation for his fellow man planting the seedÂ for a love of medicine. He graduated valedictorian of a public high school and went on to earn a University Medal (4.0 GPA) at LSU in Baton Rouge. He chose to stay near family when his father became terminally ill attending LSUHSC Medical School in New Orleans where he thrived in both his studies and extra-curricular activities. Some of Dr. Tranâ€™s hobbies include singing and playing guitar, and he was lucky enough to utilize this experience to help raise more than $20,000 for various New Orleans charities and hospitals through an organization he co-founded now known as SIGMA or "Student Interest Group for Music and the Arts". He also published his first paper looking at wave form algorithms to enhance targeting of the sub-thalamic nucleus during deep brain stimulation. He went on to Ophthalmology Residency at the University of Mississippi Medical Center in Jackson, MS where he served as Chief Resident during his senior year. In Mississippi, Dr. Tran discovered his love for bringing sight to the blind through cataract and corneal transplantation surgery. He gave multiple presentations at meetings of personal research performed on a multitude of eye diseases; and, he even developed a smartphone app for tracking surgical results and complications for residents. After residency, Dr. Tran completed a Cornea Fellowship with the internationally renowned Deepinder Dhaliwal, MD at the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center. This experience majorly influenced the clinician and surgeon he is today. There, he published an standard shattering paper on the currently evolving usage of antifungal prophylaxis in corneal transplant storage media which was featured in the highly regarded Ophthalmologic journal titled, "Cornea". It was also here where he learned of his distaste for 7 months of cold weather. As a result, he flew back South and began practicing back in the home of the Tigers, Baton Rouge.
Macular Degeneration
Age-related macular degeneration (AMD, ARMD) (MAK-yu-lur), macular (or) senile macular degeneration. Pathologic condition. Group of conditions that include deterioration of the macula, resulting in a loss of sharp central vision. Two general types: "dry," which is usually evident as a disturbance of macular pigmentation and deposits of yellowish material under the pigment epithelial layer in the central retinal zone; "wet," (sometimes called Kuhnt-Junius disease) in which abnormal new blood vessels grow under the retina and leak fluid and blood further disturbing macular function. Most common cause of decreased vision after age 60.
Laser Eye Surgery
One of the most popular ways to correct vision is with a procedure called LASIK (laser in-situ keratomileusis) with Â Â Â Intralase
Cataracts
What is a cataract?Â It is clouding of the natural lens insideÂ the eye.Â The natural lens,Â located behind the iris, becomes cloudy as the eye ages.Â Cataracts canÂ block light and images from properly reaching the retina decreasing vision.
Cataract Surgery
Cystoid macular edema (CME) (SIS-toyd MAK-yu-lur). Pathologic condition. Retinal swelling and cyst formation in the macular area; usually results in temporary decrease in vision, though may be permanent. Frequently occurs to some extent after cataract surgery. Specific cause is unknown.
Eye Exam
