Diabetic retinopathy usually continues to get worse, especially if your diabetes is not under control, though it can get worse even with controlled diabetes. For this reason, we recommend having regular check ups so that we can monitor your eyes. During the progression of the disease, you may not even notice any symptoms which makes it even more important to come in regularly. The first stage of the disease involves the blood vessels in your eyes.

This film is easily fixed with laser that clears the scar tissue away with minimal risk. Since there are many conditions that can lead to cataracts, it is really important to visit us regularly.

LASIK stands for laser in-situ keratomileusis and is a popular surgery to correct vision problems. LASIK can help people who are nearsighted or farsighted as well those who have astigmatism. LASIK works by reshaping the cornea with a laser. A laser is used to create a small flap in the cornea, which is peeled back so another laser can reshape the cornea. The flap is then returned to its original position, and the surgery is complete.
