Cataract
I commonly hear people say with concern: the doctor said I have a cataract! People often don’t realize that a cataract is not something new growing in the eye, but rather is usually a normal, age-related clouding of the lens. Learn more about what a cataract is, how it is treated, and the many options in cataract surgery in this video series.

Laser Vision Correction: LASIK and more
I am commonly asked: Am I candidate for LASIK? In this podcast, I explain the different types of laser vision correction and who is a good candidate. I also introduce other treatment options that can correct vision, such as lens exchange and cataract surgery.
Floaters
One of the most common problems patients come to see me about is floaters, or seeing spots floating around in their eyes. Floaters that come on suddenly should be evaluated by an ophthalmologist. In the following video, I will explain the concerns about floaters and recommend how soon you should have your eye examined.

Dry eyes, stye/chalazion, and related
Most of the patients who come to see me have some degree of dryness of the eyes. This can be exacerbated by prolonged computer use and other screen time. In this section, I will discuss more about dry eye disease and suggestions for how to treat it. I will also offer information on treating related conditions, such as meibomian gland disease, stye/chalazion, and twitching eyelids.
