Primary Care
Take a multivitamin with lutein and zeaxanthin. Be sure to tell your Primary Care Doctor about all nutritional supplements you are taking. ****

Ophthalmologists

Glaucoma
Glaucoma is not just one disease, but a group of conditions resulting in optic nerve damage, which diminishes sight. Abnormally high pressure inside the eye, usually, but not always, causes this damage. Glaucoma is the second leading cause of blindness. Sometimes called the silent thief of sight, glaucoma can damage your vision so gradually you don’t notice any loss of vision until the disease is at an advanced stage. Early diagnosis and treatment can minimize or prevent optic nerve damage and limit glaucoma-related vision loss.
Macular Degeneration
If you have been diagnosed with Macular Degeneration, regularly check your vision using an Amsler Grid, like the one found below, to detect small changes.
Laser Eye Surgery
Since 1977 when Dr. James A. Murphy began practicing in St. Joseph, Missouri, we have been providing patients with personalized and attentive eye care. At Murphy-Watson-Burr Eye Center, it is our professional commitment and each staff member’s personal goal to see that you and your family receive quality care in a pleasant and efficient atmosphere. Murphy-Watson-Burr Eye Center has 2 offices in Northwest Missouri staffed by 3 board-certified ophthalmologists (medical doctors who perform eye surgery) and 4 board-certified doctors of optometry (eye doctors who specialize in prescribing glasses and contact lenses and who also treat many medical eye conditions).

Eye Exam
But remember that it is a “gross” test and may not catch early vision loss. You should see your eye doctor every year or two for a dilated eye examination.

Endocrinologist

Diabetic Retinopathy
If you have diabetes mellitus, your body does not use and store sugar properly. High blood sugar levels can damage blood vessels in the retina, the nerve layer at the back of the eye that senses light and helps to send images to the brain. The damage to the retinal vessels is referred to as diabetic retinopathy.

Plastic Surgeons

Eyelid Surgery
Common eyelid problems include excess eyelid, droopy eyelids or eyelids that turn inward or outward. These problems can cause eye discomfort, limit vision and affect appearance. Fortunately, they can be corrected with surgery. Eyelid plastic surgery is almost always performed on an outpatient basis using local anesthesia. Photographs and side-vision testing are often required by insurance companies before eyelid surgery can be performed.
Plastic Surgery
Blepharoplasty
Eyelid surgery, or blepharoplasty (BLEF-uh-ro-plas-te), repairs droopy eyelids by removing excess skin, muscle and fat. Blepharoplasty is usually done on an outpatient basis. To help decide if blepharoplasty is right for you, find out what you can realistically expect and explore the benefits and risks involved with blepharoplasty.
