Pediatric Care

High Cholesterol
Emergency Care
Before specializing in ophthalmology, Dr. Cameron practiced family and emergency room medicine for four years, two of which were as a commissioned officer in the National Health Service Corps. After eight years of ophthalmologic practice in various other locations, he returned to his home state of North Carolina, where he joined Coastal Eye Clinic in New Bern. He worked there for 30 years before relocating to the Charlotte area to be near his family. Dr. Cameron is a "Lifetime" member of the American Academy of Ophthalmology and is board certified in ophthalmology, which has been his specialty since 1979.

Ophthalmologists

Glaucoma
Glaucoma is a slow-moving disease with few symptoms. There is often no pain, no infection, no discharge and no redness. It first affects peripheral vision, which can be easy to miss because itâ€™s not in our direct line of sight. If left untreated, the field of vision becomes progressively smaller until blindness results.
Ophthalmology
Unlike many ophthalmology offices, Horizon Eye Care offers surgical and non-surgical aesthetics procedures. Learn why an ophthalmologist with advanced training in facial procedures might be your best choice to achieve a fresher, more vibrant look.
Macular Degeneration
A breakthrough drug called Syfovre â€“ the first approved by the FDA for dry macular degeneration â€“ offers relief from the dry form of age related macular degeneration, or AMD. Syfovre specifically treats geographic atrophy (GA), a form of dry macular degeneration that results over time in extreme central vision loss. Age-related macular degeneration remains… Read More
Laser Eye Surgery
LASIK (laser-assisted in situ keratomileusis) is a type of refractive surgery used to treat nearsightedness, astigmatism and farsightedness by reshaping the corneaâ€™s curvature. If you have one of these three conditions, you have blurry vision because when light enters your eye through your cornea, it fails to focus clearly on the back of the eye (retina). LASIK restores good eyesight by focusing light clearly on the retina.
Cataracts
A cataract is nothing more than the natural lens inside the eye. Normally the natural lens is clear, but if it becomes cloudy, it is called a cataract. The word, which is derived from both Greek and Latin, describes the white appearance of a waterfall. Why? Because a very advanced cataract can give the eye a white appearance through the pupil which is usually black. In fact, there are several whitewater rapids in the Nile River called the "cataracts of the Nile", and a challenging portion of the Colorado River referred to as "Cataract Canyon". A cataract usually causes significant vision changes way before the pupil turns white. Therefore, it is uncommon nowadays for people in the U.S. to wait until they progress to such an advanced stage of clouding and vision loss before having corrective surgery.
Cataract Surgery
A cataract forms in the eye when the normal human clear lens becomes cloudy. The procedure for CLE is the same as cataract surgery, one of the most commonly performed surgeries in the U.S. The difference is that the lens being replaced is clear as opposed to a cloudy cataract lens, though this procedure may also be done on patients who are in the beginning stages of a cataract prior to meeting insurance requirements for cataract surgery.
Eye Exam
A complete eye exam by a Horizon Eye Care specialist can provide early diagnosis and prevention of sight-threatening problems. Eye doctors are often the first to diagnose chronic systemic diseases.

Internal Medicine
Dr. Kaluzny graduated at the top of his class with a bachelorâ€™s degree in Mechanical Engineering from the University of California San Diego. He received his medical degree from Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine. He then returned to UC San Diego for an Internal Medicine residency before attending a residency program at the Casey Eye Institute at Oregon Health and Science University. While honing his skills as an ophthalmologist, Dr. Kaluzny participated in research projects to advance OCTA imaging, pathology and electronic medical records.

Endocrinologist

Diabetes Care
Thyroid
Diabetic Retinopathy
Diabetes damages the retinaâ€™s blood vessels known as diabetic retinopathy. Although there are no symptoms early in diabetic retinopathy, as the disease advances your vision will be blurred or you may see spots in your field of vision caused by tiny specks of blood.

Ultrasound
Horizon Eye Care surgeons use the latest technology â€“ including digital photography, ultrasound and laser therapy â€“ to diagnose and treat retinal and vitreous diseases to preserve our patientsâ€™ sight.

General Surgery
Dr. Stein graduated cum laude from Tulane University and went on to receive his medical degree from Tulane University School of Medicine. He completed a general surgery internship at Abington Memorial Hospital in Pennsylvania before returning to New Orleans to finish his three-year Residency in Ophthalmology at Tulane University. He went on to receive further subspecialty training in Glaucoma at UNC Chapel Hill where he completed a Glaucoma fellowship.
Reconstructive Surgery
Kevin Tomasko, Jr., MD is an Ophthalmic Plastic, Facial Cosmetic and Reconstructive Surgeon certified by the American Board of Ophthalmology and by the American Society of Ophthalmic Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery. He attended undergraduate school at Florida State University followed by medical school at Ross University School of Medicine. He completed his medical internship and three-year ophthalmology residency at Henry Ford Hospital in Detroit, Michigan. This was followed by a rigorous two-year ophthalmic plastic and reconstructive surgery fellowship at the University of Louisville in Louisville, Kentucky.

Plastic Surgeons

Botox
Want to look like a younger version of you? Treat yourself to a little Botox. Better yet, let Horizon do it for you.
Brow Lift
There is little pain associated with a brow lift, though it is common for patients to feel slightly uncomfortable due to a tightness in the forehead. Swelling and bruising may occur but typically disappear after two weeks.
Eyelid Surgery
Eyelid surgery is performed in a physicianâ€™s office or in an outpatient surgery center, and may take between 45 and 90 minutes Surgical outcome depends on skin structure and the healing process
Plastic Surgery
One of only a few hundred specialists in oculoplastic surgery and neuro-ophthalmology in the United States, Dr. Malton served as Chief of Surgery at Carolinas Medical Center University from 2009-2011. A Fellow of the North American Neuro-Ophthalmology Society as well as the American Academy of Ophthalmology, he has authored and co-authored numerous articles and reviews in ophthalmic, plastic surgery and neuro-surgery journals.
Blepharoplasty
If a patient needs reconstructive blepharoplasty to correct vision impairment, the surgery is often covered by insurance. However, if the patient has elected to have the surgery for aesthetic improvement, it is not.
Forehead Lift
A brow lift, also commonly called a forehead lift, rejuvenates the face above the eyes to restore a more refreshed appearance that better reflects a patientâ€™s natural vibrancy. By removing excess sagging, skin on the forehead and repositioning the underlying muscles and tissues, a brow lift can correct a heavy, sagging brow, eliminate deep furrows, and restore a smoother, more youthful contour to the upper one-third of the face.
