Infectious Diseases
Nearly 22 million Americans age 40 and older are affected by cataracts and by age 80 over half of the population has at least one cataract. Cataracts can also occur at earlier stages in life due to diabetes, long-term steroid use, or trauma to the eye. Children and adolescents can also acquire cataracts during fetal development due to hereditary factors or infectious diseases present during pregnancy.

Ophthalmologists

Glaucoma
There are now a number of excellent therapies to treat Glaucoma and slow down the loss of vision. Although there is no cure for this disease, early detection, treatment and close monitoring can prevent vision loss. Since patients often do not have any symptoms of Glaucoma, regular eye exams are important to detect any vision changes.
Ophthalmology
Eyes of York is proud to work with Vision Innovation Partners, a leading manager of ophthalmology practices in the Mid-Atlantic region. Vision Innovation Partners works with several practices in the region. We encourage you to visit their careers page to find the right position and location for you.
Macular Degeneration
Macular Degeneration is a medical condition that affects the central vision. Characteristic yellow deposits called drusen result from aging and disrupt the normal architecture of the retinal tissue in the macular area. Because the macular retina is responsible for our visual detail patients can have difficulty reading, driving and recognizing faces. Peripheral vision is usually not affected. Many patients have early macular degeneration and macular drusen is the second most common finding on eye examinations over the age of 65 years. Fortunately, macular drusen or “dry” macular degeneration usually takes many years to become symptomatic and symptoms are commonly minor. However, significant loss of vision does occur for many patients and progression to bleeding or “wet” macular degeneration is a serious risk. Regular medical eye examinations are recommended to minimize the threat of vision loss.
Laser Eye Surgery
Cataracts
Cataracts are increasingly common as our population ages and lives longer. They’re the leading cause of vision loss among adults age 60 or older. In simplest terms, a cataract is a clouding of the eye’s crystalline lens. A cataract can be relatively mild and cause limited visual impairment or can be significant or extreme and thus block the passage of light to the retina, causing severe vision problems. A cataract usually develops slowly and painlessly so that your vision can be affected without you realizing it.
Cataract Surgery
Eye Exam
There are several advanced tests performed in addition to a comprehensive medical eye examination. These tests are used to screen and monitor progression of the disease. For patients with multiple risk factors, initial testing can be performed as a baseline or point of comparison for future testing. These tests include the Optical Coherence Tomography for the optic nerve and the Visual Field Analyzer.

Diabetes Care
Thyroid
Certain diseases and conditions are more commonly known to require medical eye exams, such as glaucoma, diabetes, and macular degeneration. Other conditions that warrant medical eye exams include cataracts, iritis, hypertension, chronic blepharitis, high myopia, Thyroid disease, Sjogren’s disease, and Lupus. If you have any question regarding what does or does not qualify for a medical exam, contact our office for help.
Diabetic Retinopathy
Diabetic retinopathy is an eye disease caused by diabetes. Though diabetes is a leading cause of blindness, severe vision loss can usually be prevented with regular and timely eye examinations. Patients with diabetes should be examined at least once a year, regardless of symptoms or sugar control. With regular dilated exams, the chance of severe vision loss is less than 1 percent over the patient’s lifetime.

Ultrasound
The surgeon makes an incision and uses ultrasound waves to break up the hard, yellow proteins that form the cataract, leaving the lens membrane in place.
