LASIK / PRKandnbsp;
LASIK (laser-assisted in situ keratomileusis) is a safe, reliable, and painless way to improve vision and reduce or eliminate the need to wear glasses or contact lenses. LASIK changes the way light is bent, or refracted, as it passes through the cornea so that it focuses properly on the retina and so that objects can be seen clearly. The procedure is performed at the Laser Refractive Surgery Center of New York in Poughkeepsie with the assistance of an experienced staff and the most advanced instruments. As a successful LASIK patient himself,andnbsp;Dr. David Steinbergandnbsp;understands the satisfaction of clear, spectacle-free vision.
Refractive Lens Exchange
If you are over fifty and frustrated with bifocals, this vision correction procedure can provide clear vision at both long distance and near focus. Patients can typically drive, watch TV, read an article, check a price tag, and read a menu without depending on glasses. This ten- to fifteen-minute outpatient procedure uses a no-shot, no-stitch, no-patch technique that has you back to normal activities the very next day.
Diabetes Eye Care
Patients with diabetes are at an increased risk of developing eye diseases that can lead to vision loss and blindness, such as diabetic retinopathy, cataracts, and glaucoma. In fact, diabetes is the leading cause of blindness in the United States.
General Eye Health
Regular eye exams are an invaluable tool in maintaining your eye health by detecting and preventing disease. Some diseases develop slowly without causing pain or vision loss. Early detection of any problem can reduce the risk of further harm and allow for a choice of treatment options.
Glaucoma
Glaucoma is the leading cause of blindness and visual impairment in the United States. A simple, painless eye exam can detect the disease. With early detection and treatment, glaucoma can usually be controlled and blindness prevented.andnbsp;
Pediatric Ophthalmology
Dr. David Steinbergandnbsp;recommends a first eye exam around age three and a half. Sometimes, a “lazy eye” problem can be detected at this early age, even when the eyes are not crossed.
Pediatric ophthalmology and the treatment of eye muscle problems have always been a focus of his practice. As a father, he understands the special needs of children with eye problems and patiently attends to them.
