Comprehensive Eye Exams

We provide comprehensive eye care to patients of all ages. Our services include not only laser vision correction and small-incision cataract surgery but also treatments for a range of conditions such as glaucoma, the diabetic eye, dry eye and macular degeneration.

Regular eye exams are an invaluable tool in maintaining your eyes' health by detecting and preventing disease. Some diseases develop slowly without causing pain or vision loss. Early detection of any problems can reduce the risk of further harm and allow for a choice of treatment options.

Part of your exam includes the following procedures:

Slit lamp examination
Dilated eye exam
Refraction for glasses & contact lenses

Cataracts

Normal Vision

Vision with a cataract

Cataract is clouding of the natural lens of the eye. The most important factor in cataract formation is increasing age, but there are additional factors, including smoking, diabetes, and excessive exposure to sunlight. Cataracts can also be present at birth or be caused by injury to the eye.

More than 20 million Americans over the age of 40 have cataracts, and it is the most frequent cause of preventable blindness in the world.

While a comprehensive eye examination by an eye care practitioner can determine for certain if you have a cataract forming, there are a number of signs and symptoms which may indicate a cataract:

Blurred or hazy vision where colors may seem yellowed
A tendency to become more nearsighted
A gradual loss of color vision
The feeling of having a film over the eyes
An increased sensitivity to glare, especially at night

New Technology in Cataract Surgery

The existence of a cataract does not necessarily mean you need surgery. A cataract needs to be removed only when vision loss interferes with your everyday activities, such as driving, reading, or watching TV. The decision to have cataract surgery is one that you and your doctor should make together.

We perform a minimally invasive, no-stitch cataract surgery called phaco surgery. The patient is given anesthesia to numb the eye. A tiny incision (2.75 mm or less) is made in the eye and a small ultrasonic probe is inserted. This probe breaks up, or emulsifies, the cloudy lens into tiny pieces and gently sucks, or aspirates, those pieces out of the eye.

Cataract surgery is a common outpatient procedure and one of the safest and most successful surgical procedures performed today. During the cataract surgery, the cloudy natural lens is removed and replaced with a clear synthetic lens called IOL (intraocular lens) to restore vision. Until recently, the only option was a fixed-focus lens, typically designed for faraway distances, which left the patient needing reading glasses to see up close. New multifocal lenses are now available that allow cataract patients to see near, far, and in between without wearing glasses. Since the multifocal lenses are relatively new, not all cataract surgeons are trained to implant them.

Cataract Lenses

There are a wide range of replacement lenses available to cataract patients, each offering different advantages for your post-surgery vision. The most effective lens implant depends on each patient's
individual preferences and goals for their vision. The latest lens implants help eliminate the need for glasses or contacts after cataract surgery, providing convenient, effective results for your specific
vision conditions.

Multifocal IOLs

In the past, cataract implants were only able to correct distance vision, often leaving patients with the need for reading glasses. Multifocal IOLs offer patients freedom from glasses after cataract surgery by improving vision at all distances and at any time of day. Up to 80 percent of patients do not need to rely on glasses with multifocal IOLs.

Toric IOLs

Toric IOLs are specifically designed for patients with astigmatism. In the past, patients with astigmatism would need eyeglasses or contact lenses even after cataract surgery in order to correct the problem. Toric IOLs such as AcrySof Toric corrects cataracts and astigmatism with just one lens, providing a more convenient and affordable solution to your vision needs.

ReSTOR Intraocular Lens

AcrySof ® ReSTOR ® is the first and only IOL (intraocular lens) that provides cataract patients with and without presbyopia a quality range of vision. In clinical trials, 80 percent of patients reported “never” wearing reading glasses or bifocals following bilateral cataract surgery. The vast majority of patients who undergo cataract surgery today receive traditional IOLs, which typically require patients to use reading glasses or bifocals for near vision following surgery.

An implantable lens (IOL)

The AcrySof ® ReSTOR ® lens is a foldable IOL that represents breakthrough technology because of its unique, patented optic design, which allows patients to experience the highest level of freedom from glasses ever achieved in IOL clinical trials. It does not rely on the muscles, which weaken with age, to enable the eye to quickly change focus to see objects at near, intermediate and far distances. This allows 80 percent of cataract patients with and without presbyopia (age-related vision loss) the ability to see clearly without the aid of glasses or bifocals.

It is important to understand that while ReSTOR is a new technology, intraocular lenses are not new. Lens implant surgery for cataracts is the most commonly performed surgery in the U.S. and has been performed for more than two decades.

However, for years medical researchers have been eager to find a lens that would not only treat cataracts, but give patients the range of vision they wanted. Until recently, the only lens implant available was a “monofocal” lens that accommodated sight at a fixed distance, typically medium range. ReSTOR works by diffractive and refractive properties which allow an exceptionally high degree of freedom from any form of corrective eye glasses.

Testimonial

I would like to thank Dr. Mark Fromer and his crew for the great work they have been doing with my eyes, I was diagnosed with cataract in my right eye last year and Dr Fromer recommended using a special lens that will allow me to see near and far, and time proved that it was an excellent choice and a great recommendation, it is that kind of change you would want to see\feel when you have an operation, all the way from cloudy vision to crystal clear sight, that is something.

Again thanks to Dr Mark Fromer and all of you for the great effort you all are putting in to improve your patients’ lives.

	Testimonial
	Dear Dr. Mark Fromer ! May God bless you and your entire staff in this Holiday Season! Wishing you the best for the coming New Year, may God allow you to give back the good vision for many more people who are in need! When I Open My Eyes... I still don't believe myself to see again everything what before I could not see clearly! But the truth is, yes, I do see in away again I could see only many years ago. The struggle with the glasses is over, I do not have to look for them, or to go to eye doctor to get new pairs... I see the smallest prints, and I drive happily again... without glasses. Dr Fromer, you made it possible. With Restore IOL I saw clearly from day one after cataract surgery. Your staff is very helpful and knowledgeable -You are a treasure, Dr. Fromer!
	God bless -AT
