and PRK |

| LASIK and PRK are laser
vision correction procedures that can permanently reduce your dependence
on glasses or contact lenses. Dr. Lolley performs free evaluations
to help patients decide if they are candidates for surgery. For more information on LASIK, visit www.aao.org/public/eyehealthtopics.cfm or schedule a free LASIK evaluation. |

| A clouding of the lens of the eye sometimes requiring only a change in glasses, but if vision decreases to a certain level meeting medical criteria, cataract and implant surgery may be required. This surgery is performed usually under local anesthesia in an outpatient setting. | |
| A very common problem occurring in all age ranges, but one that tends to worsen with increasing years. The disease is characterized by burning, a gritty, sandy foreign body sensation, sometimes excessive tearing, and light sensitivity. There are many treatments available for dry eyes, including artificial tears as well as ointments and closure of the tear ducts that drain the tears from the eye to allow more tears to stay in the eye (punctal plug or punctal occlusion). | |
| These are ocular inflammatory diseases that sometimes can be associated with systemic diseases called connective tissue disorders. They are evaluated and treated individually, and treatment includes anti-inflammatory medication. | |
| A disease that usually causes increased pressure in the eye, requiring treatment with medication, but occasionally laser or glaucoma surgery. | |
| Many types of injuries create abrasions on the cornea, or other types of ocular problems requiring either immediate and/or long-term treatment to preserve vision. | |
| Contacts work well in many people, but these are a foreign body in the eye and, for that reason, occasionally contacts can create difficulties that need an ophthalmic evaluation and treatment and correction of some underlying problems. | |
| Nearsightedness, farsightedness or astigmatism can be corrected either with spectacles or with contact lenses. | |

Systemic
Disease
|
|
| Many diseases such as hypertension, diabetes and others can create ocular problems, and these need to be evaluated on a regular basis. | |
| Lens implants are needed to correct vision after cataract surgery. At the current time, they are usually put in at the time of cataract surgery, but occasionally what are called "secondary implants" need to be inserted, which means the implants were not inserted at the time of the original surgery. Usually, these might be individuals that could not have implants some years ago but want to be re-evaluated for the use of implants. |
