New camera to photograph your eye!

With this new camera and microscope, I am going to be able to document and treat eye problems far more efficiently. I am also going to be able to use it to show you how your contact lenses fit or what may be wrong with your eye.

New visual field to manage glaucoma

We are adding the new Oculus Easyfield to compliment our current Humphrey FDT Visual Field Instrument. The two instruments test for visual field loss by different mechanisms. Our FDT finds the earliest signs of glaucoma. Our new oculus unit will be able to quantify the defects and then follow the field loss to accurately rule out glaucoma or follow the progression of glaucoma.

Big changes coming to our new office in the Uniontown Wal-Mart Vision Center

When we move in to the new Wal-Mart Supercenter on March 7, I am going to unveil a lot of new equipment to make your eye care even better. First, I have acquired a corneal topographer. As the name implies, the corneal topographer takes a map of the surface of the front of your eye. For contact lenses, this will help me fit patients in the most comfortable contact lenses. The topographer will also help me solve problems for patients who are not comfortable with their current contact lenses. The topographer also gives helpful information when I see patients with a lot of astigmatism

Thanks for voting us #1

I greatly appreciate the faith that people have put in me to deliver eyecare to their families. Recognition by the community in the Herald-Standard survey makes me exceptionally happy! When we move into the new Supercenter on March 7, I am going to redouble my efforts to deliver even better care. I have lots of exciting new equipment on the way to vastly improve the care we deliver.

New Macular Degeneration Test in Uniontown

Macular Degeneration (AMD) is the leading cause of legal blindness in the world today. Currently affecting more than 30 million people worldwide, it is expected that this number will double in the next 20 to 30 years. Degeneration of the macula, the portion of the eye that is responsible for central vision tasks such as reading and driving, is the one of the major contributors of AMD. Early detection of one of the major risk factors of AMD, PRIOR TO SYMPTOMATOLOGY occurring, and monitoring its status are critical to preserving one's vision. Previously, a proactive approach was not possible. Now, with the development of the MacuScope™, it is! With the use of our patented device, deficiencies in the macula are detectable, treatable and can be accurately monitored.

Stop into our Uniontown office today to learn more about the macuscope. Or call 724-438-7550 to set up your appointment today!
