Cataracts
A cataract is a clouding of the eye’s crystalline lens, which is just behind the pupil and works with the cornea to focus light on the retina. Any clouding of the lens is a cataract whether there has been a significant reduction vision or not. The most common symptoms of cataracts are blurring and dimming of vision. Patients often describe a film over their vision or worsening vision with bright lights.

Diabetic eye disease is the most common cause of blindness in the US
Diabetes is an increasingly common disease in the United States and, due to the damage to blood vessels caused by high blood sugar levels, it has serious consequences for your vision. When the condition is caught early and treated properly, vision loss from diabetic eye disease, which is a leading cause of blindness in the US, is often preventable. This is why regular comprehensive exams are recommended for all diabetics.
Dry Eye Syndrome
According to the American Academy of Ophthalmology, when eyes don’t naturally produce enough or the right kind of tears, it’s a condition known as dry eye syndrome. Dry eye syndrome is a common problem for many patients, but our surgeons are trained and equipped to work with you to understand and treat your individual case.
