• Medical Weight Loss
  One of the telltale signs of an overactive thyroid are bulging eyes or protruding eyeballs. This condition is called exophthalmos, and it’s a common sign of Grave’s disease. In addition to bulging eyes, people with Grave’s often experience weight loss, nervousness, and a rapid or irregular pulse.
• Primary Care
  For example, your eye doctor may be able to detect signs of diabetes before your primary care physician does, especially if you’re overdue for a physical. This is because diabetes can cause changes in the eye, such as small amounts of bleeding and swelling, that can lead to permanent vision loss.  For anyone with diabetes, we cannot stress the importance too much the need to schedule routine comprehensive eye exams.
• Family Practice
  Family health history – diabetes, high blood pressure, heart disease or any other health problems that may affect the whole body.
• High Cholesterol

Ophthalmologists

• Glaucoma
  Comprehensive eye exams are designed to identify eye disease and defects, and to save your eyesight through early diagnosis and treatment. Many vision problems, such as glaucoma and diabetic eye disease, have no obvious signs or symptoms in their early stages. In most cases, early detection and treatment of eye diseases is the only way to help reduce your risk for permanent vision loss.

• Macular Degeneration
  Macular degeneration, also known as age-related macular degeneration (AMD or ARMD), is a common eye condition and a leading cause of vision loss among people age 50 and older. AMD causes damage to the macula, a small spot near the center of the retina and the part of the eye needed for sharp, central vision, which lets us see objects that are straight ahead. Early on there are often no symptoms. Over time, there may be a gradual worsening of vision that affects one or both eyes. While it does not result in complete blindness, loss of central vision can make it hard to recognize faces, drive, read, or perform other activities of daily life.
• Laser Eye Surgery
  Prior keratorefractive surgery will make direct measurements for corneal power problematic. Follow these links to learn how to to estimate the true corneal power following RK, PRK, and LASIK.
• Cataracts
  A cataract is a clouding of the lens inside the eye that affects vision. Cataract format is a natural part of aging. Almost everyone reaching their mid-sixties has some form of cataract in one, or both eyes. Cataracts do not spread from one eye to the other. They are also not a growth that covers the surface of the eye, a tumor or a disease, but simply a change in the clarity of the natural lens.
• Cataract Surgery
  Over the last decade, IOL power calculations have become a focal point of cataract surgery. In 1977, the state-of-the-art for estimating IOL power for emmetropia was adding +18.0 D to 1.25 times the pre-cataractous refraction. A decade later, being within ±1.00 D of the target refraction was still considered a reasonable standard. The standard for accuracy for normal eyes has since considerably increased and is now above 80% for a ±0.50 D accuracy.
• Eye Exam
  Overall, the best retinal care is a routine, comprehensive eye exam, particularly if you have diabetes. The key is to detect, diagnose and treat retina problems as early as possible.

Internists

• Lung Cancer
  Sometimes cancer that arises elsewhere in the body shows up first in the eyes. The two most common cancers that spread to the eye are lung cancer in men and breast cancer in women.

• Thyroid
• Diabetic Retinopathy
  Diabetic retinopathy, also known as diabetic eye disease, is a medical condition in which damage occurs to the retina due to diabetes and is a leading cause of blindness. Blood sugar levels that are high cause damage to blood vessels in the retina. The longer a person has diabetes, the higher his or her chances of developing diabetic retinopathy.

Radiologist

• Ultrasound
  Pre-operative A-scan ultrasound biometry for pre-opertaive measurement can be carried out in several ways. In this section, we will compare the advantages of the immersion technique over applanation biometry, and how to improve accuracy. A-scan biometry by the immersion technique has better reproducibility, which leads to an overall increase in accuracy. However, compared to optical biometry, all forms of ultrasound based biometry may have accuracy limitations. Follow the links below for advanced A-scan ultrasound biometry techniques to improve your axial length measurements using this technology...

Plastic Surgeons

• Botox
  Procedures that correct wrinkles and collagen-depleted skin often involve the delicate tissues around the eyes. Our experienced oculoplastic surgeon, board-certified ophthalmologist, Neal Nirenberg, MD, has an impressive array of procedures and products to correct or improve eye and facial asymmetries, address functional issues such as ptosis (droopy or hanging eye lids) and restore a youthful appearance to an aging face. With Botox® Cosmetic and dermal filler options, he can reduce the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines, as well as add volume to facial features such as the lips and cheeks. Many of his cosmetic procedures can be performed in about 30 minutes or less, and there is typically no downtime necessary after treatment.

• Lip Augmentation
  Dermal fillers are natural or synthetic materials that are injected into the skin to create a firmer, more youthful appearance. As we age, our skin gradually loses collagen and fat, producing lines, wrinkles, and sagginess in the epidermis. Dermal fillers help plump the skin, making it look fuller and healthier. Dermal fillers have been used for years in lip enhancement, lip augmentation, wrinkle correction, and other skin rejuvenation procedures, such as filling out...
