Flashes and Floaters - Posterior Vitreous DetachmentsFlashes of light and floaters in the field of vision occur in healthy people, but may also be a sign of serious problems. If flashes occur suddenly, it may be a sign that the retina is torn. In this case, you should contact your doctor immediately.
Floaters, usually due to a posterior vitreous detachment, are caused by particles that are floating in the vitreous gel and cast shadows on the retina. Floaters may naturally appear with increasing age. However, if floaters occur suddenly, it may be a sign that the retina is torn. You should contact your doctor immediately if you experience such sudden symptoms.
LASIK eye surgery can be an affordable alternative to glasses and contacts. Our Florida LASIK eye surgery center goes way beyond what other centers do to help our patients overcome this affordability issue. If cost is something that has been holding you back from vision correction you should really contact us as soon as possible to set up a consultation.
Cataract patients now have an option to see at both near and far distances after
cataract surgery! Individuals suffering from cataracts previously had only a mono-focal lens implant option
after surgery. NEW multi-focal IOL technology can now decrease dependence on glasses after surgery.
Cataract surgery utilizes an intraocular lens (IOL) to replace the aged, cloudy
natural lens of your eye. An IOL is an artificial lens that is implanted inside your eye during cataract surgery.
The standard procedure uses a "mono-focal" IOL. This type of lens is very effective at restoring functional
distance vision.
In August '08 we opened the Macular Degeneration and Diabetes Eye Institute of Northeast Florida which operates adjacent with our existing location next to Orange Park Medical Center.
