- ArthritisWhether the cause is age-related, rheumatoid arthritis, ocular rosacea, blepharitis, dysthyroid, or other rheumatological disease, dry eyes can negatively affect your vision and quality of life. We work hard to determine the cause, quality and extent of your dry eye problem. With this knowledge, we can offer more effective treatment options to improve your problem.
- Primary CareIf your eye is red for more than a day, please give us a call to schedule an appointment. If you have loss of vision, pain or light sensitivity, especially if you are a contact lens wearer, it could be a vision threatening problem. This should be evaluated immediately by an optometrist or ophthalmologist, rather than your primary care physician.

If you are experiencing an ocular emergency and you are unable to contact us directly by telephone, then please proceed immediately to the nearest emergency room for evaluation and treatment.

- Eye ExamIn short, if Dr. Bollenbacher had not gone beyond the normal process of an eye exam, I would have gone on longer with a serious problem that would have been even harder to resolve than it was!

- Skin Cancer“I’d like to congratulate you on selecting Dr. Bollenbacher as your Doctor of Optometry. Not only is he a great person, he is a very conscientious optometrist who goes beyond providing good eye care. In my case, I have the genes and background that have resulted in several facial skin cancers and successful removals. For me, it means semi-yearly visits to the dermatologists to maintain the cancer-free condition. Several years ago, I had an eye examination with Dr. Bollenbacher and although he did not know of my skin cancer history, he was very concerned about a little bump on my eye lid. I told him I had not noticed it. He said he would have it checked out and I said I would. As it turned out, that bump was skin cancer and my dermatologists had not detected it on earlier visits. The dermatologist had to remove a significant portion of my eyelid in order to rid me of the cancer. A plastic surgeon then had to take skin from behind my ear to build up the eyelid and actually sewed the upper and lower eye lids together during the healing process.
