Dr. Jonathan Solomon and Dr. Stephen Solomon take great pride in helping their patients realize their dreams of clear vision without glasses. Some of the procedures that can help achieve this goal are LASIK, Epi-LASIK, PRK and cataract surgery. As some of the more experienced Maryland laser eye surgery and cataract surgery providers, Drs. Jonathan and Stephen Solomon offer advanced procedures that consistently deliver excellent results. Peruse the paragraphs below to learn more about the various vision correction, eye health and cosmetic eye procedures available at Solomon Eye Physicians and Surgeons.
Complete eye health includes healthy eyelids. The most common eyelid problems are excessive eyelid skin, droopy lids or eyelids that turn inward or outward. They all can cause eye discomfort or limit vision, and certainly affect appearance. Fortunately, these eyelid problems are correctable with surgery.
The lens in the human eye is normally crystal clear, but when it becomes opaque, we call it a "cataract." A cataract is NOT a film or growth that occurs in the eye. It is simply a cloudy lens.
Corneal collagen cross linking with riboflavin (CXL) is the latest, most promising treatment for keratoconus.
The cornea is made of several distinct functional layers, with the innermost layer being the most important modulator of corneal hydration. Just one cell thick, this layer is so fragile that minor trauma or disease can disrupt normal function.
Diabetic retinopathy is a complication of diabetes and a leading cause of blindness. It occurs when diabetes damages the tiny blood vessels inside the retina, the light-sensitive tissue at the back of the eye. A healthy retina is required for normal vision.
Glaucoma is a group of diseases than can damage the eye's optic nerve and result in vision loss and blindness. However, with early treatment, you can often protect your eyes against serious vision loss.
ICLs (implantable collamer lenses) can be placed in the eye to correct myopia in patients who may not be good candidates for laser eye surgery.
Intacs are FDA-approved medical devices that are placed within the cornea's outer edges to flatten the central region of the cornea and improve vision in patients with keratoconus.
The doctors of Solomon Eye Physicians and Surgeons offer treatment for keratoconus, a medical condition characterized by progressive weakening of the cornea that can lead to significant vision loss.
Latisse is a topical prescription medication for patients who suffer from inadequate eyelashes (ptosis).
Similar to LASIK, with the exception of a tissue flap, PRK and LASEK have generally been reserved for eyes with inadequate cornea thickness or patients for whom there is sufficient concern for flap-related complications, such as military combat personnel or athletes.
Wavefront-guided laser vision correction allows us to measure visual imperfections at 200 individual points and generate a detailed map of the eye, leading to a personalized treatment tailored for each eye. And when it comes to your eyes, one size does not fit all.
There are different IOL options available for the treatment of both cataracts and presbyopia - monofocal and multifocal lenses. Multifocal lenses are designed to provide patients who have a strong desire for greater independence from glasses or contacts with multifunctional vision.
The Crystalens is the only FDA-approved accommodating intraocular lens. It is the only lens that provides a single focal point throughout a continuous range of vision from far to near.
Toric lenses are specifically designed to correct astigmatism. Astigmatism occurs when the cornea has an irregular shape, which leads to blurry vision. Toric IOLs are uniquely designed to reduce astigmatism and are also an excellent option for patients who are having lens exchange surgery with or without cataracts.
RLE, or refractive lens exchange, is an excellent alternative to LASIK for nearsighted patients who wish to achieve improved vision, while reducing their need for corrective eyewear.
