- OphthalmologyHis legacy of uncompromising patient-focused care and advancement of the field of ophthalmology live on today through the work of Dr. I. Paul Singh (son), Dr. R. Krishna Sanka, Dr. Stephen Pruett, Dr. Jeff Banas and the dedicated staff of this almost 40-year old practice.
- Laser Eye SurgeryPhotorefractive keratectomy (PRK) is a type of laser vision correction. PRK is used to treat myopia (nearsightedness), hyperopia (farsightedness) and astigmatism. The goal of photorefractive keratectomy is to correct your refractive error to improve your vision. PRK was the first type of laser eye surgery for laser vision correction and is the predecessor to the popular LASIK procedure. Though PRK recovery takes a bit longer than recovery from LASIK eye surgery, PRK is still commonly performed and offers advantages over LASIK for some patients.
- CataractsRegular eye exams can diagnose a variety of eye conditions early on and are the best way to preserve good vision. For children, strabismus (crossed eye) and amblyopia (lazy eye) can often be diagnosed and treated in early childhood, avoiding life-long vision impairment. Also, rare eye conditions from birth (like congenital cataracts) can be diagnosed and treated. For all ages, refraction tests can determine whether prescription eyewear would be beneficial, and what power is necessary. Furthermore, many debilitating eye diseases can be diagnosed before noticeable symptoms occur, potentially making the difference between minor damage and major vision loss.
- Cataract SurgeryModern cataract surgery is much different from the cataract surgery of your grandparents where long hospital stays were required and technology was limited. The cataract surgery today involves various levels of high-tech equipment all based around the phacoemulsification process created by Charles Kelman, MD in the early 1970’s. The cataract surgery of today involves small incision sizes, anesthesia improvements, improved antibiotics to prevent infection, high-tech lens implants for visual clarity and also use of lasers for better precision. All of these combined technologies are life changing for many patients and enable a great deal of lifestyle flexibility. Nowadays; cataract surgery is an outpatient procedure that takes a half-hour or less and lets you get back to your normal activity level within a few days. We strongly encourage you to have a discussion with our office staff or eye doctors to better understand all the options at play during your cataract surgery process. The decisions that are made during your initial visits will determine how well you will see long after surgery.
- Eye ExamWhen a person calls to make an eye appointment at the Eye Centers of Racine & Kenosha, he or she should be prepared to describe any current vision problems. In addition, patients should ask if the eye examination will affect their vision temporarily and if they will need someone to drive them home. They may also want to ask about the cost of the exam, if their insurance plan will cover any of the cost, and how payment is handled.

- Eyelid SurgeryBy the late ‘90s, Dr. Singh became the first surgeon in SE Wisconsin to perform LASIK vision correction eye surgery. During the same time, Dr. Singh became the first to perform in-office CO2 blepharoplasty (eyelid surgery).
- BlepharoplastyThese changes aesthetically alter the way we look by giving us a sad, tired, and aged appearance. If the changes are severe, they can also affect one’s vision by either blocking one’s peripheral vision or by causing difficulty wearing glasses (sagging lower eyelids). Surgery to correct the sagging and fullness of upper and lower eyelids is called Blepharoplasty.
