Cataracts affect over 73 percent of seniors age 65 and older in the United States today and millions of cataract procedures are successfully performed annually. Read more about Cataracts.

Cornea treatment

The cornea is the clear, protective outer layer of the eye that plays a key role in vision by refracting light as it enters the eye. The curvature of the cornea helps determine how well your eye can focus on objects that are near or far.

Vision can be distorted if the cornea becomes damaged from disease, infection or injury. Read more about Cornea Treatment.

Diabetic eye disease

Diabetes mellitus causes several types of eye changes, but the most serious of these problems is diabetic retinopathy. In this condition, the blood vessels of the retina are damaged, or grow abnormally

Persons who have had diabetes for over 5-10 years are at the highest risk, as are those who require insulin for blood sugar control. Regular examinations of the retina are critically important in order to detect these changes in the earliest stages. Read more about Diabetic Eye Disease.

Glaucoma treatment

Glaucoma is the leading cause of blindness among adults in the United States.

Glaucoma causes damage to the optic nerve.

There are two basic types of glaucoma:

• Open Angle
• Angle Closure

Both types may be related to a positive family history of the disease. Read more about Glaucoma.
