Advanced Cataract Surgery
read moreA cataract is a result of natural change occurring inside your eye, a gradual clouding within the eye which leads to a decrease in vision. It is the most common cause of blindness and is conventionally treated with a simple surgery. A person with a cataract can experience difficulties when conducting everyday activities such as reading or driving. Thankfully, treatment and restoring the gift of your eyesight has never been easier. With new advances in cataract surgery, patients recover quickly, allowing them to return home after treatment.
Droopy Eyelids
read moreDroopy eyes (also called ptosis or blepharoptosis) make us look unhappy, older and even tired when we are not. Even when we take care of ourselves, our skin and eyes begin to age and grow tired. If you notice that both of your upper eyelids have become progressively droopy, then you probably have simple age-related ptosis. In other cases, your doctor must diagnose the problem. Your doctor will also review your past medical history and check about any family history of ptosis or related diseases.
