Detached Retina
Dr. Benevento is a vitreo-retinal specialist that treats disease in the back of the eye. These include diabetic retinopathy, retinal detachments, ocular trauma, uveitis, and macular degeneration, the leading cause of blindness in older individuals in the U.S.

It is highly recommended that patients have regular eye exams to detect these problems early and begin treatment to avoid visual loss. Dr. Benevento utilizes the most advanced treatments inlcluding Avastin, Macugen, and Lucentis for the treatment of macular degeneration.

Strabismus

Strabismus

Strabismus is the term that refers to the condition when the eyes are constantly or intermittently misaligned. The condition occurs in about 5% of children, and adults may suffer from it as well. Strabismus can be congenital (present from birth) or acquired from vision disorders, eye injury, diabetes, stroke and other conditions.

Strabismus may manifest at first as double vision. If left untreated, it can lead to visual impairment, loss of binocular vision, and decreased vision in the weaker eye. For children, early treatment is best. Older patients can be helped as well; it's never too late to seek treatment. Dr. Bacal specializes in the medical and surgical treatment of strabismus and diplopia (double vision).

Corneal Disease

Pterygium
The cornea is a thin, clear, spherical layer of tissue on the surface of the eye that provides a window for light to pass through. In a healthy eye, the cornea bends or refracts light rays so they focus precisely on the retina in the back of the eye.

Dr. Seth Meskin specializes in the diagnosis and treatment of disorders that can affect the cornea and lead to pain or loss of vision.   Disease, infection or injury can cause the cornea to swell (called "edema") or degrade (become cloudy and reduce vision).

Corneal Transplant

Common diseases and disorders that affect the cornea include:

  • Allergies
  • Conjunctivitis ("pink eye")
  • Dry Eye
  • Corneal Dystrophies including Fuchs' Dystrophy and Lattice Dystrophy
  • Glaucoma (high eye pressure)
  • Infections
  • Keratitis (viral inflammation)
  • Keratoconus
  • Ocular Herpes
  • Pterygium
  • Shingles (herpes zoster)
  • Stevens-Johnson Syndrome

Treatment for corneal disease can take many forms, depending on the underlying problem as well as the patient's preferences. Some conditions resolve on their own and many can be treated with medication. If the cornea is severely damaged or if there is a risk of blindness, a corneal transplant may be recommended to preserve vision.

Low Vision

Low Vision

Low vision is generally considered to be vision poor enough to keep someone from being able to read their mail or a newspaper while wearing their regular glasses. It is often a loss of sharpness or acuity but may present as a loss of field of vision, light sensitivity, distorted vision or loss of contrast. Low vision often may occur as a result of birth defects, injury, the aging process or as a complication of disease.

Dr. Erin Anderson, a trained low vision specialist, conducts low vision testing in our offices.  Low vision testing is significantly more involved than basic eye health exams and consists of evaluating the patient's visual fields and determining which devices will work best to improve their vision.
