Medical
- Surgical Service
The Medical and Surgical
Service uses the latest, cutting edge high-tech equipment and technology
to evaluate and manage patients with glaucoma,
diabetes, cataracts,
age-related problems such as macular
degeneration and dry eye as well as other
vision threatening abnormalities.
Minor surgical procedures
for common eye problems such as a chalazion, skin tags (growths) growing
around the eyes and permanent removal of misdirected eyelashes are
performed in the clinic. Other surgery, such as cataract surgery
and eyelid surgery, is performed in a state-of-the-art surgery center
specially equipped for eye surgery of all types. The preoperative
evaluation and post-operative care is performed here at the College.
If a patient requires a
referral to another health care provider such as a retinal specialist,
neurologist, internist, etc., the doctors will fully explain the condition
and alternatives for treatment and make arrangements for the referral.
Laser surgery (LASIK,
PRK) for nearsightedness,
farsightedness and
astigmatism is also
available for our patients. A 30 minute no cost laser screening is
offered to anyone who is interested in reducing or eliminating their
need to wear glasses. Many sports enthusiasts who enjoy hunting,
golfing, tennis, softball, baseball and many other sporting activities
enjoy the freedom of not having to wear glasses full-time. Unfortunately,
laser surgery does not help patients who simply need “reading glasses”.
