Ophthalmological Conditions We Treat
Ophthalmologists in Advanced Eye Specialty Services provide diagnosis and treatment for vision conditions, including:
Cornea and External Disease
We treat keratoconus and manage ocular surface disease and dry eyes. The physicians at WMCHealth treat corneal disease, corneal dystrophies and pediatric corneal disorders.
Cataracts
When the lenses’ proteins break down, they become cloudy and cause cataracts, which blur vision. Ophthalmologists at Advanced Eye Specialty Services perform cataract surgery.
Retinal Disease
Retinal diseases can affect your ability to see fine detail and may distort your overall vision. Our nationally recognized doctors provide a much‐needed service to patients with disorders of the retina, vitreous, and posterior segment of the eye. The board-certified physicians of Advanced Eye Specialty Services are nationally recognized, fellowship-trained specialists. At WMCHealth, we provide state-of-the-art diagnostics and treatments for retinal disease, including Intravitreal injection medications, laser therapy, vitrectomy surgery, and scleral buckle. Diagnostics include advanced ocular coherence tomography and angiography and Optos Wide Field Fundus photography. Outpatient surgery is performed at the newly constructed Ambulatory Surgery Pavilion with cutting edge technology including the Ngenuity enhanced 3D intraoperative visualization system.
Orbital Disease
Our highly skilled ophthalmologists repair traumatic fractures and injuries, as well as eye and eyelid disfigurations, and orbital tumor removal. Surgeons also treat all aspects of the complex disease of the skull cavity hosting each eye and the periocular area surrounding the eyeball.
Eyelid and Oculoplastic Reconstructive Disease
Our specialists treat congenital and acquired disorders of the eyelid, including ptosis, involutional laxity, in-turning lashes or lids, tumors involving the eyelid skin or lid margins, and disorders of the tear ducts and the related lacrimal system.
Adult Strabismus and Double Vision
Physicians diagnose and treat adults with double vision from stroke, trauma, brain lesions, inflammation, and other systemic problems.
Ophthalmology Services and Treatments
Our expert physicians perform innovative and leading-edge treatments using the most advanced care available. We are leaders in the region for:
Anterior Segment and Cataract Surgery
You may choose to have premium intraocular lenses implanted during cataract surgery to correct vision. Your doctor will use calculations on the most state-of-the-art, technologically advanced equipment. Additionally, we provide cataract and glaucoma surgery together in one operation.
Full and Partial Thickness Keratoplasties/Cornea Transplant Surgery
Corneal transplantation is recommended when the cornea has been damaged and can’t be repaired. A human donor’s cornea is used as a replacement.
