An example of an eye health issue is Glaucoma, a disease caused by damage to the nerve that sends information from the eye to the brain. It is sometimes caused by increased pressure in the eye. It commonly goes unnoticed by adults because you can't feel glaucoma. This is why glaucoma is called the "sneak thief of sight". Regular vision examinations are also important for the prevention of vision problems created or aggravated by today's academic and professional demands.
Ophthalmology
Dr. Scheiman is the principle investigator of the NIE sponsored Convergence Insufficiency Treatment Trial Study. This study was conducted in 12 optometric and ophthalmology centers throughout the US.
Macular Degeneration
It takes virtual slices of the optic nerve and of the macula to help our patients who have glaucoma and those that have macular degeneration. It quantifies the thickness of the retina, nerve fiber layer, ganglion cell complex and the cornea and then compares that to thousands of people in the data bank.Â
Laser Eye Surgery
Dr. Roth and his team of eye care professionals are here to care for all of your vision needs. We handle everything from adult and children's eye exams and hard-to-fit contact lenses, to eye emergencies, treatment of eye diseases and co-management of LASIK and other laser vision surgeries.
Cataracts
These are just a few of the many visual skills evaluated during our comprehensive vision exam. In addition, the health of your eyes, inside and out, is carefully evaluated for such problems as cataracts, glaucoma, hypertension, diabetes, etc.
Eye Exam
A: My passion is helping others. Whether it is to prescribe a new pair of eyeglasses and seeing the smile on my patients’ faces when they can see more clearly, or to give children a good first experience at their first eye exam appointment, or to improve a patient’s quality of life through Vision Therapy or Visual Rehabilitation. These types and many other success stories make me truly enjoy what I do.Â
Special needs such as autism, cerebral palsy, down syndrome, and other conditions often mean a child struggles with hand-eye coordination.
Multiple Sclerosis
Our eyes are often the first indicator that we have an issue that affects our entire body, particularly in diseases such as Diabetes and High Blood Pressure. Other diseases as well are detected first by careful observation, including some brain tumors, skin tumors, Lyme disease, Multiple Sclerosis, etc.
Vision and learning are intimately connected. Someone may have a learning problem that is caused by an underlying vision problem. A child with a vision problem can be misdiagnosed as having Learning Disabilities, ADHD, or Dyslexia. There are various reasons for this misdiagnosis. For example, children who have learning-related visual problems cannot sustain their close work at school. They may be misdiagnosed as ADHD because children with ADHD also can't sustain attention on their work. Same behaviors, different diagnosis.
The system tracks change and predicts trends. This instrument helps us diagnose and treat glaucoma, diabetic retinopathy, and so much more. We are so proud to bring this technology to you
The Pentacam is a corneal tomographer. It takes virtual slices of the cornea, just as a CT or MRI takes virtual scans of the other parts of your body. It takes a precise and complete measurement and analysis of the cornea. This contact-free, hygienic measurement process takes only a few seconds. There is no radiation like that of a CT or MRI scan.
Computed Tomography
A brain injury can be caused by even a mild hit to the head. Traumatic brain injury, or TBI, is a disruption of the normal function of the brain, often caused by a blow, a bump, or jolt to the head. These types of brain injuries, and the changes that occur, are often undetected in an MRI or a CT scan. A concussion may seem trivial, but it’s actually a brain injury, even if it doesn’t cause a loss of consciousness.
A deep abrasion can lead to eye infection or a corneal ulcer, so if you experience a foreign substance in your eye without successfully flushing it out on your own, contact your eye doctor as soon as possible.
Children with these challenges, or anything else requiring occupational therapy, is very likely to gain immensely from Vision Therapy. A regimen of customized focus and perception exercises will improve depth perception and fine motor skills.
