Emergency Care
Berks Eye Physicians & Surgeons offers emergency treatment when you have an eye issue that requires urgent care. It is important that you see an Optometrist or Ophthalmologist when suffering from an eye injury since a lack of medical attention can cause serious, long-term damage. Whether you have suffered a physical injury or chemical splash, or have noticed sudden, significant changes to your eyesight, please call Berks Eye ASAP by dialing (610) 372-0712 to have your eye issue evaluated by Pennsylvania’s best team of eye doctors. Our doctors will assess your situation quickly and recommend next steps whether that means seeing one of our doctors or proceeding to the emergency room.

Ophthalmologists

Glaucoma
While some eye diseases have obvious symptoms such as red eyes, light sensitivity, or flashing lights, many serious, vision-threatening problems have no warning signs. Glaucoma, for example, will present no symptoms until actual vision loss occurs. Proper eye care and evaluations can help prevent vision loss. Comprehensive eye exams can also detect diabetes, hypertension, retinal holes or tears, and other important treatable medical conditions.
Ophthalmology
At Berks Eye Physicians and Surgeons, we pride ourselves on providing quality patient care and only the best optometry and ophthalmology related products. Our patient testimonials and reviews are a true reflection of their recent experiences. Patients who need vision care in Berks County can count on our staff extending similar service to you and your family.
Macular Degeneration
One of the leading causes of vision loss in the United States is age-related macular degeneration (AMD). The progressive condition involves the breakdown of the macula, or the portion of the retina that we need for clear central vision.
Laser Eye Surgery
The biggest risk factor for macular pucker is age. Adults over the age of 60 are most likely to get macular puckers. Sometimes macular pucker is associated with traumatic eye injury, previous eye surgery or problems with the blood vessels in the retina.
Cataracts
Dr. Tellez also specializes in small incision, no-stitch, no patch cataract and intraocular lens implant (IOL) surgery. He uses the latest technologies, such as presbyopia-correcting implants to eliminate the need for reading glasses and bifocals, as well as toric implants to correct astigmatism.
Cataract Surgery
To treat cataracts, surgeons remove the natural lens and replace it with an artificial lens (intraocular lens or IOL) which is determined preoperatively. To reduce or eliminate the need for glasses and contact lenses after cataract surgery, patients need to choose a lens implant that is designed to address refractive errors and help patients see at near, far and intermediate distances. Some Advanced Technology Lenses even have the capability of correcting astigmatism as well as distance, middle, and near vision to give the patient the clearest vision.
Eye Exam
A comprehensive eye examination at Berks Eye Physicians & Surgeons involves a series of tests designed to evaluate your vision and check for eye diseases. Each test is necessary and allows your doctor to evaluate a different aspect of your vision.

Internal Medicine
A Phi Beta Kappa graduate of Cornell University, Dr. Tellez received his medical degree from the New York University School of Medicine in New York City. He served his internship in internal medicine at the Johns Hopkins Bayview Medical Center. He completed his residency in ophthalmology at the Long Island Jewish Medical Center of the Albert Einstein College of Medicine in New Hyde Park, New York, where he served as chief resident. He completed additional specialty fellowship training in glaucoma at the Emory Eye Center in Atlanta, Georgia, which is consistently ranked among the best ophthalmology training programs by U.S. News & World Report.

Multiple Sclerosis
® VEP tests use a technology called Visual Evoked Potential (VEP) to objectively measure the functional responses of the entire visual pathway from the anterior segment of the eye to the visual cortex. Your Berks Eye doctor may order this test to diagnose vision and optic nerve disorders such as optic neuritis in multiple sclerosis (MS) and amblyopia. Patients may also be tested to detect neuro-visual problems caused by traumatic brain injury (TBI) or stroke.

Diabetes Care
Diabetic Retinopathy
If you have diabetes, you are at risk of diabetic retinopathy, a condition that damages your retina. Over time diabetes causes the tiny blood vessels of the retina to swell, close off or leak. In some people this damage can cause irreversible vision loss.

Plastic Surgeons

Eyelid Surgery
As we age, upper eyelids droop, skin loosens and there is often puffiness and heaviness of the lids. Upper eyelid surgery has become a popular procedure, because it gives the eyes a renewed and refreshed appearance.
Plastic Surgery
Every year, thousands of men and women choose upper eyelid blepharoplasty to improve their vision and their appearance. Drooping upper eyelids can impair vision and add years to one’s face. Blepharoplasty corrects these problems and also removes puffiness that give the appearance of being worn and tired. Successful facial plastic surgery will involve a good rapport between a patient and the surgeon. Trust, based on realistic expectations and exacting medical expertise develops in the consulting stages before surgery. Your surgeon can answer specific questions about your specific needs.
Blepharoplasty
Blepharoplasty, also known as an eye lift, is a procedure that corrects the sagging or drooping of the eyelids and removes excess fat, skin and muscle. As we age, it is common to see a difference in our eye area – loose skin, bags below and above the eye; sometimes so much that the upper lid seems to disappear underneath the extra fatty area under the brow bone. Even with good skincare and eye care, wrinkles, puffiness and drooping eyelids can still happen. Genetic factors and body chemistry can even cause these premature aging effects in younger people. Blepharoplasty can give a more youthful appearance to tired looking eyes.

Ulcer
A corneal ulcer is a serious condition in which the cornea tissue starts to melt. Most commonly caused by bacterial infections, an ulcer is an urgent condition that is sight threatening and causes redness, pain, sensitivity to light, and decreased vision.

Physical Therapists

Sports Medicine
Every year, over 500,000 people suffer an eye injury while playing a sport like baseball, hockey, or basketball. Because children are more active in sports activities, they are especially vulnerable to these eye injuries.
