Specialties
LASIK
We offer the latest techniques in refractive
surgery to correct near-sightedness (myopia), far-sightedness (hyperopia) and astigmatism. Most practices have technicians
who perform the entire LASIK evaluation and then only at the end will you see the physician. We're different in
that Dr. Yoon will work directly with you every step of the way during the evaluation and give you the time to ask questions
and feel comfortable with the procedure.
Our fees
are lower than other practices because we don't spend thousands of dollars on T.V./radio and billboard advertising. We
rely instead on the word of mouth referrals that have made our practice successful. This allows us to pass this
savings on to you. We also offer substantial discounts for physicians, policemen, firefighters, and health care professionals.
If you are wondering
if you are a good candidate, we can tell you when you come in for a FREE LASIK consultation. If your
preliminary measurements look good we will bring you back for a more in-depth LASIK evaluation.
Advanced Cataract Surgery
Using the latest no-stitch techniques your cataract is removed through a tiny incision and replaced
with an artificial lens implant. We offer the latest in presbyopia correcting implants as well. Surgery is performed
on an outpatient basis and with either topical or local anesthesia.
Corneal Transplantation
The cornea is like the windshield of the eye. Sometimes the clear tissue gets cloudy
and needs to be changed. With modern surgical techniques, corneal transplantation may be successful in over 90 % of
patients. A donor cornea is used to replace your diseased cornea. The surgery is done on an outpatient basis and
is often performed with local anesthesia. We are currently offering the latest in posterior corneal transplantation
procedures, known as DSEK (descemet's membrane stripping endothelial keratoplasty). Ask your doctor if you may be
a candidate.
Glaucoma
Glaucoma
is the leading cause of blindness throughout the world. The doctors at the Bluth, Gerber & Schwartz Eye Care Center
can help manage this potentially debillitating disease. We offer the latest in medical and laser management of glaucoma.
Pediatric Diseases
Pediatric
eye care ranges from prescription glasses to correction of muscle imbalances. We offer a full range of therapeutic care
for children of all ages. Dr. Gerber performs our pediatric and adult eye muscle surgeries for the treatment of musclar
imbalances, also known as strabismus. Pediatric surgery for removal of eyelid growths such as styes and for the treatment
of blocked tear ducts are also done by Dr. Gerber.
Diabetic Retinopathy
Diabetes affects millions of people and can be a
leading cause of preventable blindness. Diabetic retinopathy causes loss of vision by leading to bleeding and fluid
accumulation in the retina. We offer comprehensive evaluation and laser surgery for the treatment of this potentially
blinding condition.
