Liva Eye Center is a Complete Eye Care Facility

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:

Comprehensive Eye Examinations

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

Optical Services

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

Additional Explanation of Services

Cirrus HD OCT Laser Scanning

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.

Corneal Topography Demonstrating Astigmatism

Corneal Transplantation

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.

Glasses and Contact Lenses

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.

No Stitch No Needle Small Incision Cataract Surgery

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.
