Keratoconus Treatment

Keratoconus Treatment

Keratoconus is a degenerative disease that leads to structural changes within the corneal tissue. This progressive condition results in the thinning and weakening of the cornea, which eventually causes it to deform and adapt a cone-like shape. When the cornea's shape has altered enough, it fails to allow light to focus properly on the retina and thereby impairing the patient's vision. In its more advanced stages, keratoconus could result in irreversible corneal deterioration.

IPL for Dry Eyes?

IPL for Dry Eyes?

Dry eye syndrome is a typical yet uncomfortable problem affecting many around the world. The issue occurs if a person's eyes are not able to make adequate moisture or when the tears dry up too soon. This may bring on concerns like stinging, burning, and inflammation, as well as sight problems and trouble wearing contacts. Intense Pulsed Light Therapy (IPL) with the Lumenis laser at Wang Vision Institute works by heating and releasing oils that may be trapped and clogging your glands, contributing to dryness and itchiness in your eye. The Lumenis device can also be used for refreshing and smoothing skin to address a number of aesthetic concerns, such as age spots and hyperpigmentation. When you are dealing with symptoms that point toward dry eyes, don't wait to book a consult with our team at Wang Vision Institute to receive an accurate evaluation and custom-tailored care plan involving IPL therapy. At our Nashville, TN office, our staff will help you get back to more comfortable…

Eye Exams

Eye Exams

Most people are no strangers to receiving routine eye examinations. In fact, children commonly are given vision screenings at school, and adults may be made to take them for work purposes. Vision tests are also done when applying for a driver's license. However, doing well on a vision evaluation doesn't mean you are clear of any eye disease. A simple acuity exam can't provide a full assessment view of your total eye health and a lot of dangerous, vision-threatening diseases, such as glaucoma, won't give any warning signs. For that reason, receiving annual comprehensive eye exams is important.

Cataract Lens Options

Cataract Lens Options

Cataract surgery, both laser and traditional, is performed to replace a cloudy, foggy lens (cataract) with an artificial intraocular lens (IOL). Artificial lenses are made and placed into an eye using incredibly advanced technologies and techniques, and they serve to function just like the natural lens but without the cloudiness that can impair a patient's vision. Along with cataract removal, intraocular lenses may also enhance an individual's overall quality of sight and improve any refractive errors. When you've been diagnosed with cataracts, or if you suspect that you may have a cataract, contact Wang Vision Institute in Nashville, TN to learn how our skilled team of ophthalmologists can improve your eye health with IOLs and laser cataract surgery.

YAG Laser Capsulotomy

YAG Laser Capsulotomy

In certain instances, patients may experience hazy vision several years after having cataract removal surgery. This phenomenon occurs when the capsule (which is left intact after the procedure to hold the patient's artificial lens in place) produces cloudy cells that blur their line of sight. Along with cloudy eyesight, some also experience glare problems when driving at night. This common condition is known as posterior capsule opacification (PCO) and typically occurs months or years after surgery. Thankfully, PCO can be treated simply and easily with a noninvasive laser procedure called YAG capsulotomy.

Cataracts Explained

Cataracts Explained

Cataracts, by definition, are a clouding of the eye's lens that results in reduced vision and over time, complete blindness if not detected early and treated correctly. For most people, cataracts are an unavoidable part of the aging process and initially develop after the age of 50, the approximate age when the proteins within the lens of the eye typically start to deteriorate and/or lump together. The eye's opacity gradually worsens, which prevents light from hitting the retina correctly. Developing cataracts is quite common — in fact, it's so common that cataract surgery is the most frequently performed procedure in the country. Close to two million men and women receive cataract surgery a year. The disease can form fairly slowly — so individuals in the onset stages typically are unaware of it. Cataracts are a major reason why attending comprehensive eye exams a minimum of every other year is critical to your overall ocular health.
