This includes a history and physical, and possibly an EKG and chest X-ray (if you have had significant lung disease). You may be required to have additional diagnostic and lab tests at the discretion of your physician.

Ophthalmologists

Glaucoma
Glaucoma, commonly referred to as the”sneak thief of sight,” steals the vision of thousands of people every year. Glaucoma is a leading cause of blindness in people over 40.
Ophthalmology
The Doctors at Ophthalmology Associates are excited to be investigators for this revolutionary new treatment for Keratoconus and corneal ectasia. For more detailed information about this treatment please visit
Macular Degeneration
For those with wet macular degeneration, the Food and Drug Administration has approved Visudyne®, a drug therapy for this form of the disease (also known as photodynamic therapy, PDT) and as recent as 2005, a treatment called Macugen. Macugen (pegaptanib sodium injection), is the first effective treatment that helps preserve vision for all subtypes of neovascular AMD. The neovascular “wet” form of macular degeneration is characterized by the invasion of new, poorly formed blood vessels beneath the retina. These new blood vessels are poorly formed and leak their contents into the retina and subretinal space, casuing injury to the retina and scarring. Scientists are currently studying laser treatments for dry macular degeneration as well.
Laser Eye Surgery
Short for Descemet’s Stripping Automated Endothelial Keratoplasty, DSAEK (pronounced de-sak), is not nearly as invasive, and requires considerably less recovery time. Rather than removing your entire cornea, our cornea specialists make a small incision in the side of the eye and replace only the damaged portion at the back inner dome of the cornea with donor cells. DSAEK uses the innovative instrumentation designed for LASIK. The donor cornea is prepared using the LASIK instrumentation to create only a thin layer of tissue to transplant. This thin layer contains a new healthy layer of pump cells. The surgeon then delicately pushes the new cells in place with a bubble of air. It’s like replacing the wallpaper instead of replacing the wall. During the first twenty-four hours, it is important to stay on your back as much as possible to keep the air bubble positioned correctly, anchoring the new tissue in place. The transplanted cells begin pumping fluid out of the cornea, thus creating a suction that causes them to adhere to the back of the host cornea.
Cataracts
A cataract is a clouding of the normally clear and transparent lens of the eye which is located behind the pupil. When the lens becomes cloudy from age, injury or a birth defect, less focused light reaches the interior of the eye and vision gradually fails.
Cataract Surgery
A Posterior Capsulotomy is a surgical procedure that is sometimes necessary after cataract surgery. Cataract surgery removes the cloudy lens from the cellophane-like membrane called the lens capsule. Then a clear artificial lens implant is put in its place. In about half of all cataract surgery patients, the lens capsule, or “bag”, becomes cloudy or wrinkled. This cloudiness or haze is referred to as an “After-Cataract.” Patients start to experience symptoms similar to before the cataract surgery, including blurred vision or increased glare. It will seem as if the cataract has come back. These symptoms may begin anywhere from a few months to many years after cataract surgery.
Eye Exam
At The Cornea and Laser Vision Institute, our doctors can diagnose corneal edema with a detailed but painless eye examination.

Diabetes Care
Diabetic Retinopathy
Diabetic retinopathy is a complication of diabetes that is caused by abnormal changes in the retina. The retina is a nerve layer at the back of the eye that senses light and helps to send images to your brain. In diabetes, the blood vessels in the retina may leak fluid or blood, grow fragile brush-like branches and scar tissue. This can blur or distort the images that the retina sends to the brain.

Ulcer
Corneal ulcers are infections of the cornea. They are most often associated with soft contact lens use or trauma to the cornea. A break in the surface layer of the cornea can occur, through which a microorganism can gain access to the rest of the cornea. Prompt identification of the pathogen (usually bacteria) and aggressive treatment is needed to limit damage to the eye.
Lesions
The cornea is made up of five different layers, each of which has a specific function that controls vision. The endothelium is the back layer of the cornea, which removes excess fluid from the cornea. Excess fluid can cause the cornea to swell and vision to become distorted. Occasionally the swelling can become so severe that bullae (blister-like lesions) will develop that can result in pain. Once endothelial cells are lost, they do not grow back, so this condition will continue to progress with time.
