›› Cataract Evaluation and Surgery
Each complete eye examination with Dr. Stancey involves a dilation of the pupils. With this, she can examine the inside of the eye as well as determine if a cataract is present. The cataract's impact to vision can be determined and an appropriate recommendation for or against surgical treatment can be made. Dr. Stancey employs the latest surgical technique for cataract surgery using a small incision, no stitch procedure. Ultrasound energy is used to help remove the cataract and a new implant is inserted in its place. This is all done as an outpatient under local anesthesia in a comfortable environment.
›› Glaucoma Evaluation and Treatment
Routine eye exams are necessary to detect glaucoma as it is often a silent problem with no symptoms. During every complete exam, a measurement of the pressure inside the eye is performed to better assess the patient's risk of glaucoma. If necessary, more extensive diagnostic tests such as visual fields and pachymetry can be performed. The latest medical, laser, and surgical procedures are available as treatment options.
›› Diabetic Eye Exams
The American Academy of Ophthalmology recommends that each diabetic have a dilated eye exam yearly whether or not they are on insulin. Each diabetic patient at Lakeway Eye Physicians and Surgeons is dilated and the retina examined closely for any signs of damage from the diabetes. If damage is found, recommendations to see a retinal specialist for treatment may be made.
›› Examinations for Age Related Macular Degeneration (ARMD)
ARMD can be a debilitating disease. If detected early, certain forms of ARMD can be treated with modern techniques to help preserve vision. A dilated exam looking for ARMD is performed on every patient having a complete examination.
›› Healthy Eye Examinations for adults and children
Each patient at Lakeway Eye Physicians and Surgeons is carefully checked for their eyeglass/contact lens prescription. Along with this, a dilated complete examination is performed to ensure that the eyes are healthy.
›› Evaluation and Treatment of Dry Eyes
Often one of the most common findings in patients, dry eyes can be a debilitating problem causing pain, burning, tearing and a decrease in vision. Dr. Stancey can employ several different options to help alleviate the symptoms of dry eyes. With new treatments and contact lens materials, even contact lens wearers can find relief from dry eyes.
›› Evaluation and Treatment of Allergic Eyes
In central Texas, allergies are a fact of life. Dr. Stancey can evaluate if your allergies are affecting your eyes and give recommendations on different eye drops that can be used to help alleviate symptoms.
›› Eyelid Evaluations
Along with practicing General Ophthalmology and cataract surgery, Dr. Stancey is fellowship trained in Oculoplastic surgery - surgery of the eyelids and area around the eyes. Droopy eyelids or excess skin of the upper eyelids can often affect vision. Surgical correction for these conditions may be covered by insurance. Dr. Stancey performs a complete examination of the eyelids and skin around the eyes in every patient to help identify various skin cancers. Suspicious lesions or ones that are simply irritating can be removed in the office.
›› Cosmetic Procedures
Along with medically necessary eyelid surgeries, Dr. Stancey enjoys performing cosmetic procedures to rejuvenate one's appearance and bring back a more youthful look. Botox can be administered to help lessen forehead and crow's feet lines. Radiesse and Restylane can be used to help fill the lines of time.
