Primary Care

Ophthalmologists

Glaucoma
Glaucoma is a leading cause of blindness in the United States. Glaucoma is a progressive disease of the optic nerve characterized by a specific pattern of optic nerve head and visual field damage.
Ophthalmology
Below are just a few of the eye care services and conditions we treat every day at our Bronx, NY, Ophthalmology practice.
Macular Degeneration
Macular degeneration (AMD) is the leading cause of blindness for those aged 55 and older in the United States, affecting more than 10 million Americans.
Laser Eye Surgery
Keratitis can sometimes cause serious vision loss or even blindness, so it is important to see an optometrist if you are experiencing the above symptoms. Fungal keratitis is treated with topical and oral antifungal medications. Patients who do not respond to medical treatment may require eye surgery, possibly including a corneal transplant.
Cataracts
A cataract is a clouding of the normally clear lens of your eye. For people who have cataracts, seeing through cloudy lenses is a bit like looking through a frosty or fogged-up window. Clouded vision caused by cataracts can make it more difficult to read, drive a car, especially at night, or see the expression on a friend’s face.
Cataract Surgery
Currently, the only option to improve vision in patients with significant cataracts is surgery. Dr. Gary Fishman and Dr. Simon Wu at Vision Center of NY are nationally certified ophthalmologists who specialize in premium cataract surgery in the Bronx, NY area.
Eye Exam
A basic eye exam can confirm nearsightedness. You can easily correct the condition with eyeglasses or contact lenses.

Internal Medicine
Dr. Wu graduated with a Bachelor’s degree in Chemistry and Computer Science from Brooklyn College, City University of New York (CUNY). He then attended medical school at New York University School of Medicine where he obtained his Doctor of Medicine (M.D.) degree. This was followed by a one year internship in Internal Medicine at NYU Medical Center. Dr. Wu then completed his Ophthalmology residency training at New York Medical College, serving as Chief Resident in his final year. This was followed by a one year fellowship in cornea, external diseases, and refractive surgery at the Boston Eye Group, where he also spent time at the prestigious Massachusetts Eye and Ear Infirmary.

Endocrinologist

Diabetic Retinopathy
Diabetic retinopathy is a complication of systemic diabetes disease and is characterized by weakening of the blood vessels that supply nourishment to the retina, the light-sensing layer of the eye. When these weak vessels leak, swell or develop new branches, vision loss occurs.

Ultrasound
Cataract surgery is an outpatient surgery that can be done at a hospital, or more commonly in an ambulatory surgery center. There is no overnight stay involved. Mild sedation is given and the eye is numbed either with eye drops alone or with an injection around the eye. In either case, the patient does not feel the surgery. A small incision is made in the cornea, the clear part of the eye, and an ultrasound probe is placed in the eye. The cataract is then broken up by ultrasound waves, and the small pieces are removed from the eye using the probe. A lens implant, or intraocular lens is then placed into the space formerly occupied by the cataract. Most times the wound is closed without sutures. The surgery usually takes only 15 to 30 minutes. The patient is then discharged home with an eye shield.

Ulcer
A corneal ulcer is an erosion or exposed sore on the surface of the cornea. Corneal ulcers are most commonly caused by germs. Other causes of corneal ulcers include viruses, injury and inadequate eyelid closure. Corneal ulcers are common in people who wear contact lenses, especially if they wear them overnight.
Fungus
The most common infection related to contact lens use is keratitis, an infection of the cornea (the clear, round dome covering they eye’s iris and pupil). Keratitis can be caused my many things, including herpes, bacteria, fungus and microbes. It is not transmitted from person to person, but fungal keratitis is more common in warmer climates.
