From major and minor eye surgery to routine eye exams for the detection and prevention of eye disease.
Adult , Pediatric and Geriatric Ophthalmology.
Aside from Cataract Surgery, LASIK and glaucoma treatment, here are some of the services we offer:

A routine eye exam for the detection and prevention of ocular disease includes:
-
Extensive medical history
-
Tests for binocular and color vision
-
Tonometry to screen for glaucoma
-
External examination of the eye and lids
-
Slit lamp bimicroscopy to detect cataracts
and corneal disease
-
Muscle balance evaluation to determine ocular alignment
-
Vitreous examination for floaters
-
Retinal examination for detection of macular degeneration, diabetic retinopathy, hypertensive retinopathy and a myriad of other
retinal diseases
-
Bimicroscopy of the optic nerve which is especially useful in detecting glaucoma
-
Refractions to determine eyeglass prescriptions for nearsightedness(myopia), farsightedness(hyperopia), astigmatism and presbyopia.
-
Contact Lens Fitting for daily and extended wear soft lenses, rigid gas permeable, multifocal and toric lenses for astigmatism
-

The Cirrus OCT is the latest generation of an imaging technology that
allows the acquisition of exquisite high-definition cross sectional
images of the ocular structures. Layers of the retina are depicted in
great detail with a resolution of 5 microns enabling diagnosis of
retinal diseases. The retinal nerve fiber layer is precisely measured
to aid in glaucoma detection and management.

The cornea is the
outer layer of the eye. If disease
or trauma damage the cornea, vision can be severely
impaired. Fortunately, corneal transplantation
is a surgery that can help. By obtained corneal
tissue from an organ donor, Dr. Liva can remove
the damaged tissue and replace it.
We can measure your
refractive error in our office
and help determine what an appropriate eyeglass
or contact lens prescription is for you. We can
also help with the fitting of new contact lenses.
We offer a wide range of glasses and contact lenses.
Contact lens options include: soft, gas permeable,
toric, bifocal, and colored lenses.

A cataract
is a clouding that occurs on the lens of the
eye -- usually as a natural part of the aging process.
Cataracts are a major cause of vision loss in
the United States, and most people will eventually
experience some cataract formation age they get
older. The good news is that cataract surgery
is a highly effective way to restore vision impaired
by cataracts.
In an eye without
cataracts, light passes first
through the clear lens before being focused on
the retina (nerve cells at the back of the eye).
The image formed on the retina is then transmitted
to the brain. Cataracts interfere with this normal
visual process. Cataracts make the lens of eye
cloudy, so light does not focus on the retina
properly. The result is hazy, milky, or distorted
vision.
Dr.
Liva performs stitchless cataract surgery with an
advanced technique called phacoemulsification.
In this
technique, ultrasound is used to break up the
cataract-containing lens first. It is then siphoned
out through a tiny incision. Dr. Liva then implants
the highest quality intraocular lenses (clear
artificial lenses) available through a tiny (2.4
millimeter) incision.
The incision made
in cataract surgery heals on its own, usually without requiring any stitches. Anesthetic
eye drops keeps you comfortable
during the procedure. We have a Board Certified Anesthesiologist monitor your condition and keep you comfortable
the entire time. Intravenous sedation is administered as necessary.
There has never been a better
time to have cataract
surgery. Recent advances have made the procedure
safer, more effective, more
comfortable with the additional benefit of faster visual recovery.
