Ophthalmologists provide general ophthalmologic care and routine eye exams, and work closely with the low vision rehabilitation program, all different eyes disorders, prescription glasses, and refractive laser surgery.

We offer complete medical and surgical eye care with the latest, small-incision sutureless cataract surgery to maximize vision and minimize recovery times in patients with cataracts and complex eye conditions, including corneal disease, glaucoma, and small upils. 

Pterygia usually occur on the side of the eye closer to the nose, but they can also develop on the side closer to the ear as well and can affect one eye or both eyes.Pterygia often cause a gritty, itchy or burning sensation or the feeling something is “in” the eye (called a foreign body sensation). Also, these pterygia often become inflamed, causing unattractive red eyes.If a pterygium significantly invades the cornea, it can distort the shape of the front surface of the eye, causing astigmatism and higher-order aberrations that affect vision.

Our ophthalmologists provide comprehensive contact lens services, offering the newest materials and designs available for a variety of conditions including myopia, hyperopia, astigmatism, presbyopia and dry eye.

Corneal and External Disease ophthalmologists specialize in the evaluation and management of various conditions including refractive errors (nearsightedness, farsightedness, and astigmatism), dry eye and tear disorders, cataracts, blepharitis, conjunctivitis, ectasias, dystrophies, ulcers, benign and malignant tumors, traumatic scars, and chemical burns.

What is Nearsightedness (Myopia)?
Nearsightedness, also known as myopia, is a common type of refractive error where close objects appear clearly, but distant objects appear blurry.

How does nearsightedness develop?
Nearsightedness develops in eyes that focus images in front of the retina instead of on the retina, which results in blurred vision. This occurs when the eyeball becomes too long and prevents incoming light from focusing directly on the retina. It may also be caused by an abnormal shape of the cornea or lens.

How is nearsightedness diagnosed?
An eye care professional can diagnose nearsightedness and other refractive errors during a comprehensive dilated eye examination. People with this condition often visit their eye care professional with complaints of visual discomfort or blurred vision.
