Glaucoma is a disease that causes a gradual degeneration of cells that make up the optic nerve which carries visual information from the eye to the brain. As the nerve cells die, vision is slowly lost, usually beginning in the periphery. Often, the loss of vision remains unnoticeable until a significant amount of nerve damage has occurred. Therefore as many as half of all people with glaucoma may be unaware of their disease.

A cataract is a cloudy or opaque area in the normally clear lens of the eye. Depending upon its size and location, it can interfere with normal vision. Most cataracts develop in people over age 55, but they occasionally occur in infants and young children.

A pterygium is a growth on the front surface of the eye (conjunctiva and cornea). Although its cause is not well understood, it is more common in people who work outside in the sun for many years but any one can develop a pterygium.

Removal of the most common benign eyelid lumps, bumps, growths, and tumors. Including: Styes (Hordeolums), Chalazions, and Cysts.

Ptosis refers to drooping of an upper eyelid of one or both eyes. The droop may be barely noticeable, or the lid can descend over the entire pupil.

After modern cataract with lens implant surgery, the back membrane of the cataract is left in place to support the lens implant. This membrane may become cloudy and cause blurred vision, and sometimes patients will see streaks or halos around lights.

In an iridotomy, a laser is used to create a hole in the iris to enhance the drainage passages blocked by a portion of the iris. It is used to surgically remove a small piece of the iris that will allow a better flow of fluid in eyes with narrow-angle glaucoma.
