The retina is a thin layer of tissue that acts much like film in a camera. It captures light rays and sends them to the brain for processing.

The vitreous is a gel-like substance that fills the center of the eye. It makes up about two-thirds of the eye’s volume.
The macula is a specialized area of the retina that enables us to see details in the center of our vision. It allows us to recognize faces, read, and watch TV.
Many patients with macular degeneration experience a loss of central vision, have difficulty reading or seeing detail, or experience distorted vision. Since the aging process can cause macular degeneration, it is important that people over 50 obtain routine exams from eye doctors to test for this condition.
Unfortunately, there is not yet a cure for this condition. However, patients with wet age related macular degeneration can receive a relatively new drug treatment called MACUGEN® at our practice near Tampa and Orlando, Florida. If you undergo this therapy, our eye doctors will inject medication into your eye every six weeks to slow vision loss and possibly restore some lost vision. Other treatment options for macular degeneration include laser photocoagulation, photodynamic therapy, and vitamin supplements.
Some common signs of this condition are blurred vision, floaters and flashes, and sudden vision loss. However, diabetic retinopathy can cause various other eye symptoms as well. If you are diabetic and are experiencing any type of eye problem, you should visit an eye doctor right away.
Yes, there are various methods for treating retinal detachment. However, it is crucial to obtain treatment immediately after experiencing symptoms of this problem. Failing to do so could result in major vision problems or blindness.
Eye floaters occur when tiny bits of vitreous gel or cells cast shadows on the retina. The floaters are usually a result of posterior vitreous detachment (PVD), a common condition that occurs when the vitreous separates from the back of the eye. PVD is often a result of the aging process and is usually harmless.
Sometimes, eye floaters can be a sign of a serious problem such as a retinal tear, retinal detachment, hemorrhage, or eye injury. If you are experiencing floaters, contact our practice near Tampa and Orlando, Florida to meet with one of our eye doctors.
DEAR DOCTOR DEDHIA & ALL AT LASER EYE CENTER ;
It is been a wonderful experience to know you all and also to be treated by such a friendly and excellent team of professionals. What you all have done for me is just inexplicable all can say is "Thank you so much" for doing this wonder on my eyes.
It really feels great to have an aid less vision.
May God bless all of you all health and happiness and wish you all the very best for your work!
It's been a month since the LASIK surgery and i feel quite relieved not having to bother with contact lenses, glasses and not being able to see. Now, I feel good coz I can see clearly with no hassles, and relieved from glasses after 10 years.
I am writing how I feel after having LASIK surgery.
I had surgery 6 months ago (4/2002). Before that my eyesight was not so seriously bad but I needed glass in lectures in college. It was headache to wear glasses during hot season as glasses came down up to half of my nose. So usually I didn’t wear glasses except lectures. But, I think, I missed half of my life which pleased me without seeing things around me clearly.
Now after surgery, my life has changed. I can see whatever I want to see without any irritation (wearing glasses). I feel I can enjoy daily life double. It is worth much more than I paid for the surgery. In Japan it costs 4 times. I have recommended my Japanese friends living in India. They are also interested in Lasik and I hope they will come to have surgery to Dr. Niteen. Comfortibility can change life.
I really appreciate Dr. Niteen & his all staff.
