An ophthalmologist is a physician who specializes in the medical and surgical care of the eyes and visual system and in the prevention of eye disease and injury. 

In addition to general ophthalmology, we have ophthalmologists specializing in cataract and intraocular lens implant surgery, corneal disease, glaucoma, neuro-ophthalmology, oculoplastics, pediatric ophthalmology, refractive surgery and vitreoretinal surgery.

You will find a brief description to each of our eye specialty areas below. 

A cataract is a cloudy or opaque area in the normally clear lens of the eye. As the cloudiness increases, it prevents light rays from passing through the lens and focusing on the retina, the light sensitive tissue lining the back of the eye.
