- Cataract SurgeryA Yag capsulotomy is a special laser treatment used to improve your vision after cataract surgery. It is a simple, commonly performed procedure which is very safe. During your cataract operation, the natural lens inside your eye that had become cloudy was removed. A new plastic lens was put inside the lens membrane (called the bag or capsule) in your eye. In a small number of patients, the capsule thickens after surgery and becomes cloudy. This interferes with the light reaching the back of the eye. When this happens, your sight becomes misty, and you may get glare in bright light or from lights at night-time. Capsule thickening can happen in the months after your cataract operation, but more commonly occurs about two years after surgery. Yag laser capsulotomy is the only way to treat this. Apart from affecting your vision, the thickening does not damage the eye in any way. In a Yag laser capsulotomy the doctor uses a special lens to apply a laser beam to the capsule. This creates a small hole in the center of the capsule, which lets light through.
- Eye ExamThis is the part of an eye exam people are most familiar with. You will read an eye chart to determine how well you see at various distances. You cover one eye while the other is being tested. This exam will determine whether you have 20/20 vision or not.
- Multiple SclerosisA central nervous system evaluation will often be performed on patients with a subgroup of intermediate Uveitis, called pars Planitis, to determine whether they have multiple sclerosis which is often associated with pars Planitis.
- Diabetes Care
- Diabetic RetinopathyDiabetic retinopathy is a complication of diabetes that causes damage to the blood vessels of the retina— the light-sensitive tissue that lines the back part of the eye, allowing you to see fine detail.
- UltrasoundUltrasound of the eye uses high frequency sound waves to detect and diagnose disorders in and behind the eye. Ultrasound of the eye is used when the doctor does not have a good view into the eye or behind the eye or needs to evaluate a specific lesion. Ultrasound of the eye is painless, requires about 15 minutes, and can provide detailed information.
