A cataract is a gradual clouding of the eye’s natural crystalline lens. The lens assists with focusing light rays onto the retina, which communicates images to the brain. After the cataract starts to cloud the lens, it is impossible to return the lens to its clear state with medications and may require cataract surgery. Various factors may cause cataracts including cigarette smoking and diabetes. Other factors such as obesity, prolonged exposure to sunlight, alcohol and smoking have been listed by the National Eye Institute as having the potential to increase cataract formation.

Glaucoma is a name given to a group of diseases that are potentially blinding and have a characteristic pattern of serious damage to the optic nerve and visual field loss. An estimated 3 million Americans have glaucoma and it is the most common cause of irreversible blindness in African-Americans.

Diabetic eye disease is a term that refers to a group of eye diseases that affect people with diabetes. These problems can include:
Diabetic retinopathy, Glaucoma, Cataract, and Eye Muscle Dysfunction.

The retina is one of the main parts of your vision. Our doctors have extensive training in retinal conditions that affect patients and will diagnose your condition and outline a treatment path that will be best for your eyes. There are a number of conditions that can cause damage to the retina and it is important to see skilled doctors such as those at Eye Physicians of Long Beach.

The cornea can be regarded as the "window of the eye." It acts as the major light-focusing structure of the eye by bending light accurately and directing it through the lens. The cornea must possess ideal shape and clarity to direct light accurately to the retina and produce clear vision.

Are you seeking Long Beach Eyelid Surgery physicians? Droopy eyelids may be a condition that is causing you a great deal of discomfort or may be obstructing your vision. Blepharoplasty (BLEF-uh-ro-plas-te), also known as as an eyelid lift, is surgery to repair droopy eyelids by removing excess skin, muscle and fat. As you age, your eyelids stretch, and the muscles supporting them weaken. As a result, excess fat may gather above and below your eyelids, causing sagging eyebrows, drooping upper lids and bags under your eyes. Besides making you look older, severely sagging skin around your eyes can impair your vision. Blepharoplasty can reduce or eliminate such impaired vision.
