Cataract General Information Report

A cataract is when a cloudy and opaque formation forms in the lens of the eye. In order to see clearly, the lens must be clear, so light can pass through without obstruction. When cataracts begin to form, this can interfere with normal vision. Though there are many types of cataracts, most are related to aging.

Dry Eye Report

When you blink, a clear tear film spreads across the surface of the eye. Good vision is possible because that film keeps the eyes moist and lubricated. Dry eye occurs when tear film abnormalities prevent adequate lubrication of the eyes. Tear film consists of three layers: a mucus layer, an oily layer and a watery layer.

Pterygium Treatment Report

A pterygium is a growth of tissue that invades the cornea from the conjunctiva. It can start out small and grow to become large enough to obstruct vision. It may start out as a pinguecula (link), which is a yellowish growth on the conjunctiva, and grow into a larger, more obstructive pterygium. These growths on the eye can become swollen and red, or even thick enough to feel as if there is something in the eye. Some ptergia may grow to interfere with the shape of the cornea and even result in astigmatism.

I 've tried twice now to order replacement lenses only to be told that someone will call me back, but no one has called. This is extremely frustrating as I only have 1 contact lens right now. This is very poor customer service. I'll be taking my services elsewhere.

Dr. de La Cruz is excellent. Administrative support staff, however, is rude, incompetent, and uninformed on basic info and patient service issues. Surgical paperwork completed in ERROR and blamed surgery center staff.
