There are many diseases that can affect the cornea, causing pain or loss of vision. We offer comprehensive consultation, the latest diagnostic capabilities and treatment for diseases of the cornea and external ocular surface. Learn more about corneal conditions.

Diabetic Eye Conditions

Patients with diabetes are at a higher risk for developing eye conditions because a high blood sugar level can damage blood vessels in the eye. These conditions can cause blood or fluid to leak from the retina or new blood vessels to grow on the surface of the retina which can lead to significant damages to your vision and overall quality of life. Learn more about eye conditions related to diabetes.

Glaucoma

Glaucoma is a group of diseases caused by abnormally high pressure inside the eye, and the progressive deterioration of the optic nerve and vision loss. After a complete examination and review of your medical history, our highly-trained and skilled physicians will explain all your options for treating glaucoma and answer specific questions.
