Refractive
Surgery
Tired of wearing
glasses or contacts?
Using either the excimer
laser or a diamond
blade, refractive
surgeries are brief
outpatient procedures
that eliminate, or
minimize the need for
glasses or contact
lenses. Ask the doctor
if you may be a
candidate. For more

Refractive Surgery

Laser Procedures
Laser "surgery"
takes only a few minutes
to perform. Near
sightedness,
astigmatism,
farsightedness, removal
of an "after-cataract",
glaucoma, and diabetes
are just a few of the
conditions that can be
treated in our office
with lasers. Excimer,
YAG, argon and tunable
dye lasers are available
in order to provide the
best laser for each
condition.
Eyelid Surgery
Men and women alike
often complain of their
upper lids feeling heavy
or drooping into their
vision. Bags below the
lower lids give the
appearance of added age
and of being tired. We
can treat these
conditions easily and
effectively in our
comfortable outpatient
Surgicenter.
Upper Lid Blepharoplasty
is the medical name for
a procedure that removes
excess skin from the
eyelids. In addition to
improving the facial
appearance, upper lid
blepharoplasty can also
improve eyesight, in
cases where the eyelids
overhang to the extent
that they interfere with
vision. The procedure is
performed by making an
incision along the
crease of the upper
eyelid. Excess fatty
tissue and sagging
muscle are moved and the
drooping skin is
trimmed. The incision is
sutured so that any
scarring will be hidden
in the natural crease
line. For a few days
after the surgery, it
may be difficult to
close the eyelid
entirely until the
swelling recedes. The
eyelid may also be
bruised for a short
time. It may help to
apply cool compresses to
the eye and elevate the
head while resting. Most
people are able to
return to their normal
routine about a week
after the surgery.
"Incisionless" Lower-lid
Blepharoplasty is a
procedure that removes
excess fat from the
lower eyelid. Lower-lid
Blepharoplasty can be
performed without any
skin incision. With this
"no incision" technique
there is no scar on the
exposed lower lid, thus
eliminating the
undesirable "surprised
look". Anyone with
"bags" or puffy lower
lids may be a candidate
for this procedure.
Not all patients need
the same procedure. Our
training in Oculoplastic
surgery allows the
correct procedures to be
tailored to the specific
problem.
Cataract Surgery:
Surgery without
Stitches
While not dangerous,
cataracts may cause
significant problems
with vision. Glare, the
need for brighter light,
or foggy vision may all
be signs of cataracts.
Cataracts are the number
one cause of poor vision
among adults. Over
two-thirds of the
population over age 60
have a vision problem
from cataracts.
"No-Stitch" cataract
with lens implant
surgery is the most
advanced surgical
treatment for cataracts
available anywhere.
The actual procedure
usually takes no longer
than 15 minutes and only
drops are used to numb
the eye during surgery
instead of any type of
injection!
There are no post
operative restrictions
after this procedure!
No patch, no suture,
there is only a small
incision for the
foldable intraocular
lens which allows you to
take a shower, bend over
and even drive to and
from the procedure!

family eye care,
