Glaucoma
Glaucoma is a disease of the optic nerve, the part of the eye that carries the images to the brain for us to interpret. The optic nerve is made up of many nerve fibers, like an electric cable containing numerous wires. When damage to the optic nerve fibers occurs, blind spots in the vision develop. Typically, these blind spots initially occur in the peripheral vision and may go undetected until significant optic nerve damage occurs, resulting in permanent blindness. This is why glaucoma is known as the “silent thief of vision.”
Macular Degeneration
Macular degeneration often called AMD (for age-related macular degeneration) is a deterioration of the macula which is the central part of the retina at the back of the eye that allows one to see fine details clearly and perform activities such as reading and driving.
Cataracts
A true innovation in cataract surgery, safer than conventional methods. More than Meets the Eye: This procedure has huge advantages, including LESS RISK and QUICKER RECOVERY. Eliminating the needles and injections used in traditional cataract surgery, this procedure COMPLETELY ELIMINATES many potentially sight-threatening complications such as puncturing the eye, or injuring the artery or optic nerve behind the eye.
