General Practitioners

Headaches
Family Practice
After four years at St. Louis University, Dr. Hasty became a medical officer in the Navy and completed a rotating internship at the Oakland Naval Hospital, California. He was offered a residency program in internal medicine at this point but chose to become a Naval Flight Surgeon and worked four years with the United States Marine Corps in general family medicine and aviation medicine. Aircraft accident investigation, FAA flight exams, and flight safety protocols were among his various responsibilities.

Ophthalmologists

Glaucoma
Glaucoma is a group of conditions in which high pressure inside the eye damages the optic nerve and can cause permanent, severe vision loss, even blindness if left untreated. The optic nerve is like a cable carrying 1.2 million fibers from the eye to the brain where vision is perceived. Glaucoma damage to the optic nerve is permanent, so early detection and treatment is vital to preserve sight.
Ophthalmology
The American Academy of Ophthalmology is the largest national membership association of Eye MDs with over 7,000 members internationally. The website provides an in-depth look at eye care health, while providing their membership with ongoing learning and support.
Macular Degeneration
Macular degeneration affects cells in the macula, which is the part of the retina responsible for central vision. Central vision is essential for most basic tasks like reading, driving, recognizing people, etc. Thus, although macular degeneration leaves peripheral vision un-impaired, it can be quite debilitating in its advanced state.
Laser Eye Surgery
There are many types of refractive surgeries available today to correct myopia (nearsightedness), hyperopia (farsightedness), and astigmatism (irregular cornea shape). The most versatile and most common is LASIK which uses an Excimer laser to reshape the cornea to bring the world into better focus. However, for low myopia, there are INTACS, which are small plastic corneal ring inserts, and an older procedure called RK. For low hyperopia there is also laser thermal keratoplasty (LTK) and radio frequency keratoplasty (RFK). Clear lens extraction is available for very high myopia and high hyperopia.
Cataracts
General eye exams can diagnose a variety of eye conditions early on and are the best way to preserve good vision. For children, strabismus (crossed eye) and amblyopia (lazy eye) can often be diagnosed and treated in early childhood, avoiding life-long vision impairment. Also, rare eye conditions from birth (like congenital cataracts) can be diagnosed and treated. For all ages, refraction tests can determine whether prescription eyewear would be beneficial, and what power is necessary. Furthermore, many debilitating eye diseases can be diagnosed before noticeable symptoms occur, potentially making the difference between minor damage and major vision loss.
Cataract Surgery
One should consider cataract surgery when the cataract appears to be interfering with your usual daily activities. Once you perceive difficulty with driving, reading, and other every day activities, cataract surgery can be quite beneficial in returning your previously good vision. Cataract surgery is one of the most successful procedures in all of modern medicine, so don't allow your vision to limit your independence.
Eye Exam
A thorough eye examination consists of a variety of standard tests designed to measure visual acuity and other vision faculties, as well as observe the health of the eye and check for common eye diseases. There is no pain or discomfort associated with an exam, and they typically take less than an hour.

Internal Medicine

Endocrinologist

Diabetes Care
Diabetic Retinopathy
Diabetic retinopathy (DR) is not specifically seen in the elderly, but it becomes increasingly common the longer one has diabetes. In fact, DR is one of the most common causes of blindness in working-age Americans.

X-Rays

Plastic Surgeons

Eyelid Surgery
Medicare and most insurance companies do cover eyelid surgery when it is functionally disturbing. For example, Medicare allows coverage when overhanging tissue blocks 12 degrees of the upper field of view or hangs down to within 2.5 millimeters of your mid-pupil.
Blepharoplasty
Upper lid blepharoplasty is a procedure in which excess skin, muscle, and fatty tissues are removed from the upper lid under local anesthesia, eliminating loose, overhanging lid tissues. This procedure is performed right in the office of Advanced Eye Care, eliminating the extra expense of hospital or surgery center fees. Stitches are placed in the skin for one week, and then removed. Some bruising and swelling is common for about one or two weeks.

Skin Cancer
Ultraviolet radiation is divided into two major bands, UV-A and UV-B. UV-B is the more energetic shorter wavelength and causes blistering of sunburn as well as being associated with skin cancer formation. UV-A is close to the blue of visible light and is responsible for skin tanning and browning. It has been implicated as an accelerator of aging changes of the skin. Midday sun and reflected sunlight off of snow, water, and white sand cause the highest UV exposure.
