Eye Doctor in Lincoln City, Oregon

Dry eye is an irritating, painful, and common condition in which the eye fails to properly produce quality tears. When left untreated, it may lead to ulcers and scars on the cornea.

Depending on the severity of your condition, there are a variety of treatments to relieve dry eyes.

Pterygium surgery is performed under topical anesthesia on an outpatient basis.

The surgical implantation of intracorneal ring segments or Intacs® is a minimally invasive surgical option to improve the corneal shape in patients with keratoconus.

Intacs® are surgically inserted into a thin channel created by a femtosecond laser in the periphery of the cornea. Intacs® is also known as surgical implantation of intracorneal ring segments.

Monovision lasik can treat presbyopia. One eye would remain slightly nearsighted while correcting your other eye for distance vision. With both eyes open, you’ll experience clear and comfortable vision both near and far.

When irreversible damage to the cornea is caused, from either infection or trauma, corneal transplant or Keratoplasty may be the ideal option.

A full check of how well you see and how your eyes are working together, ending with an accurate prescription for glasses or contacts. It’s also the visit where we catch early signs of problems you can’t feel yet, which is why we recommend it annually even when nothing seems wrong.

More than a vision check, a medical eye exam looks for disease and infection — glaucoma, macular degeneration, diabetic changes, and conditions that show no symptoms until they’ve already done damage. Whether we’re investigating something new or monitoring a diagnosis you already have, we track what’s changing and treat it early.

Metal shavings, wood, glass, grit — when something gets embedded in the eye or under the lid, it needs to come out promptly to prevent scarring and infection. We remove foreign bodies in-office, usually the same day you call.

If your vision has turned cloudy again months or years after cataract surgery, the lens implant isn’t the problem — it’s the thin membrane behind it. YAG laser capsulotomy clears that membrane in a few painless minutes, and most patients see the difference right away.

A contact lens prescription isn’t the same as a glasses prescription; it requires measuring the curve and surface of your eye so the lens sits correctly and stays comfortable all day. We fit standard soft lenses as well as specialty options for astigmatism, presbyopia, and eyes that have struggled with contacts before.
