Ophthalmologists

Glaucoma
Glaucoma is one of the leading causes of blindness in the United States. It is the name given to a group of diseases that cause a characteristic type of damage to the optic nerve. The risk of glaucoma increases with age, diabetes, nearsightedness and a family history of the disease. It is often associated with high pressure within the eye. The most common type of glaucoma, chronic open-angle glaucoma, causes a slow, “silent” loss of vision. Unfortunately, glaucoma most commonly does not cause any symptoms as it slowly steals your sight. Untreated, glaucoma causes irreversible blindness. The good news is that with routine eye exams, early signs of glaucoma can be detected and appropriate testing and treatment can be implemented. Eye Physicians and Surgeons offers the latest in diagnostic technology, including the Humphrey Visual Field Analyzer.
Ophthalmology
Dr. Christ A. Balouris graduated from the University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine. He completed his Medical internship at Evanston Hospital, Northwestern University in Illinois. Dr. Balouris finished his residency in Ophthalmology at the University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine. He spent a year as a Clinical Instructor and Director of the Corneal Eyebank at St. John Ophthalmic Hospital in Jerusalem, Israel. In that role, Dr. Balouris was involved with caring for patients with a wide spectrum of ophthalmic problems, including ocular trauma and corneal transplantation surgery.
Macular Degeneration
Macular degeneration, a disease that affects the center of the retina called the macula, is the leading cause of blindness in adults over the age of 55. It involves a weakening of the retinal tissues that cause gradual vision loss and may develop as a result of genetics, age, diet, smoking and sun exposure. Patients with this condition may experience distorted or blurry vision, a loss of color vision or a dark area in the center of vision. The resulting degeneration can lead to severe central (not peripheral vision) vision loss.
Laser Eye Surgery
Refractive surgery is typically performed by photoablation using an excimer laser in the form of PRK (PhotoRefractive Keratomileusis) or LASIK (Laser Assisted In Situ Keratomileusis) are used to reshape the cornea to reduce the need for corrective lenses. These minimally invasive procedures reshape the cornea with laser energy to correct nearsightedness, farsightedness and astigmatism, leaving patients with improved, uncorrected vision after treatment. By reshaping the cornea, these procedures change the way the eye focuses light, allowing you to enjoy clear vision. These procedures are customized to provide the best possible results for each individual patient, allowing your surgeon to correct the very specific refractive errors that obscure your vision.
Cataracts
Cataracts cause progressive, painless loss of vision. The lens clouds naturally as we age, so people over the age of 65 usually see a gradual reduction of vision. No one is exactly sure what causes cataracts. In younger people, they can result from an injury, certain medications or illnesses such as diabetes. Prolonged exposure to ultraviolet light may also play a role in the formation of cataracts. Studies have also shown that cigarette smokers have a higher risk of developing cataracts than non-smokers.
Cataract Surgery
Vision impairment is the most significant symptom of a cataract. In the early stages, if the cataract is small, you may experience little to no vision issues. However, once a cataract has progressed, the cloudiness can further envelop the clear lens, which ultimately distorts vision. Other symptoms include glare, haloes or arcs around lights. Some symptoms such as a browning or yellowing of colors occur so slowly over time that a person is often unaware of them. Patients routinely observe how bright and vibrant colors appear after cataract surgery.
Eye Exam
Diabetes can affect your vision by causing a variety of eye diseases. It is important that diabetics control their blood pressure and blood glucose to the best of their ability to minimize the risk of developing diabetic ocular complications. It is also important that an eye exam be performed at least once a year or as soon as any potential problems are detected to ensure early detection of any serious conditions. Early detection is the strongest protection against diabetic eye diseases.

Internal Medicine
Dr. Beck attended Howard University College of Medicine, where he earned six separate academic scholarships while in attendance including twice being awarded the Trustees Scholarship given to the highest ranking members of the class. He scored with honors in the majority of medical school courses. He also scored in the 99th percentile in the country on his United States Medical Licensing Exam. He subsequently completed his intern year in Internal Medicine in the North Shore – Long Island Jewish Hospital. Dr. Beck complete his ophthalmology residency at Nassau County Medical Center in New York.

Diabetes Care
Diabetic Retinopathy
Diabetic eye conditions can be detected through a comprehensive eye exam. A comprehensive eye exam involves a visual acuity test to measure vision at various distances, an eyeglasses check to optimize vision, and a dilated eye exam to examine the structures of the eye for any signs of disease. If there are signs of diabetic retinopathy, closer observation or treatment may be recommended.

Plastic Surgeons

Botox
Lubricating eye drops may be used to lessen certain symptoms such as dry eyes. Temporary relief can also sometimes be found by using BOTOX (trademark symbol), skin tape to hold the eyelid in place or strategically placed stitches. But ultimately, entropion generally needs to be corrected through a brief surgical procedure in which the eyelids are repositioned. The area is numbed with a local anesthetic and sometimes light sedation is provided as well. For entropion due to muscle weakness, the surgery may involve the removal of a small section of eyelid to tighten the muscles in the area.
Eyelid Surgery
His areas of treatment include Dry Eye, cataract and refractive surgery, corneal surgery, transplant and disease, glaucoma, eyelid surgery, diabetic exam as well ocular surface reconstruction. Dr Beck is passionate about patient care and achieving excellent vision for his patients. He resides in Pittsburgh with his wife and 5 children and very active in the community.
Blepharoplasty
Upper-Lid blepharoplasty involves removing excess fat, skin and muscle from the upper eyelids. It may be performed for cosmetic reasons or to improve sight by lifting droopy eyelids out of the patient’s field of vision. The procedure is usually performed with local anesthesia and mild IV sedation, lasting 45 minutes. Incisions are made along the eyelid creases of the upper lids. The surgeon removes excess tissue through these incisions and then stitches them closed with fine sutures. Stitches are removed after 10 days. Contact lenses may not be worn for two weeks. The effects of blepharoplasty can last for a long time and are sometimes even permanent.
