I am finally recovering from last Monday, one week ago, when I hurt my back. Not sure WHAT I did, but I know I did it when I was shoveling the steps. I did not want my dog to have to walk in the snow. That’ll teach me to be nice. But, last week was […]
PRK is not LASIK. LASIK is not the same as PRK. Intralase is not the same as PRK. PRK is not RK. PRK is photorefractive keratectomy. It is now also referred to as ASA or Advanced Surface Ablation. This procedure uses the SAME LASER as LASIK but is able to provide correction much closer to […]
This lens never ceases to amaze. In just this past few weeks, I have taken 3 patients whom had previously been told they can no longer wear contact lenses, and fit them successfully with the Synergeyes lens.

These crazy Australian guys dressed in all colors of the rainbow, have large animals running around with polk-a-dots, stripes and fur. It […]
SO MANY THINGS TO CHOOSE FROM!!! Every single day I ask my patients if they are interested in laser surgery options. Should I dare forget, I am reminded quickly, because they ask me. There are so many wonderful options for patients. LASIK is NOT the right answer for everyone. Even under the LASIK umbrella, there […]
Everyday someone asks me about the lenses. Synergeyes. I am thrilled. This lens comes in two main ‘varieties’ if you will, a single vision “A” lens and a multi-focal “MF” lens. I have fit many people sucessfully in the A lens since its release over a year ago. I was lucky enough to be a […]
Welcome. Welcome. I hope you will enjoy exploring this new medium of communication with me. In the healthcare field, we often stick to doing things the ‘old-fashioned way’ because it has worked well for so long. For those of you that know me and know my practice, I hope you will appreciate that I have […]
