Ocular Disease Treatment and Management
We are a full scope optometric clinic.

We also treat acute problems such as corneal ulcers, ocular inflammation, conjunctivitis (pink eye), corneal abrasions, corneal/conjunctival foreign bodies (metal/other in the eye) to name a few. We can perform minor surgical procedures like foreign body removal, bandage contact lenses, cyst drainage, punctal plugs, and epilation of eyelashes. For major surgeries we refer to a team of specialists is Little Rock for advanced cataracts, advanced glaucoma, retinal detachments, advanced macular degeneration, anterior segment disease, neurological issues, dermatology, and oculoplastics.
Post Cataract YAG Laser Surgery
After cataract surgery, it’s possible to develop scar tissue in the eye — which can make your vision cloudy again. This is called a secondary cataract. Other names for it are after-cataract or posterior capsule opacification. Secondary cataracts are common. In fact, up to 2 out of 5 people who have cataract surgery will develop a secondary cataract.
Treatment for secondary cataracts is quick and painless. Your eye doctor will use a laser to make an opening in the cloudy part of the lens — this is called YAG laser capsulotomy. Most people will notice their vision is back to normal in a few days.
This can be done in-office at our Cabot location without having to travel to Little Rock!

Scanning Laser/Optical Coherence Tomography
The scanning laser allows the doctors to see specific layers of the cornea, retina, or optic nerve in detail down to a millionth of a meter. OCT increases the doctors ability to make an earlier diagnosis of many conditions of they eye and follow the progression of many diseases helping them better manage and treat diseases such as corneal dystrophy, macular degeneration, macular edema, macular holes, diabetic retinopathy, retinal detachements, and glaucoma.
Surgery Co-management
We co-manage the pre/posterative care of patients seeking cataract or refractive surgery. In most cases we will schedule your consult for surgery at our office with our surgeons. The surgeon will perform the surgery at a surgical center, and you will return to our clinic for post-operative and continued care. We seek only the best care for our patients; therefore, we co-manage with only the best surgical specialists in Little Rock and Cabot. We hope by doing so we provide you with the best surgical outcome possible.

No Drop, No Puff Eye Pressure Testing
|
|
The Icare® ic100 is based on a rebound measuring principle that requires no drops, air or specialized skills for its use. This device uses patented rebound technology to measure intraocular pressure. Its light-weight probe makes momentary contact with the cornea. Icare's proprietary algorithm coupled with state-of-the-art software allows the device to evaluate deceleration, contact time and other motion parameters of the probe when it touches the cornea. The premium design and user interface brings IOP measuring to a higher level. |
InfantSee Exams
Cooing, sitting up, and crawling are signs that your baby is growing. Your baby’s vision has stages of development too, but the signs marking progress are not so obvious. For many months to come, those little eyes will be the windows she uses to learn almost everything about her new world. It’s up to you to help her develop properly, and ensure that she sees her new world clearly and accurately. Many eye conditions have no symptoms that can be identified by a parent or in a well baby check-up. Early detection is the best way to ensure your child has healthy eyes and appropriate development of vision- now and in the future.
We can help. InfantSEE®, developed by the American Optometric Association and The Vision Care Institute of Johnson & Johnson Vision Care Inc., is a public health program designed to ensure that eye and vision care becomes an integral part of infant wellness care to improve a child’s quality of life. We feel so strongly about the importance of healthy vision that participating member optometrists will provide a no-cost comprehensive infant eye and vision assessment within the first year of life.
Dry Eye Disease Treatment
Do you have chronic dry eye? Ask you doctor some important questions.
If you find yourself using artificial tears often, like when you’re checking e-mail or going outdoors for a run, it may mean you have a disease called Chronic Dry Eye. Chronic Dry Eye is sometimes called dry eye disease
or dry eye syndrome. It is also known by the medical name keratoconjunctivitis sicca. But the important thing to remember is that Chronic Dry Eye is a disease and that there is medical treatment available. Chronic Dry Eye is a chronic disease that can be caused by advanced age, contact lens wear, certain medications, eye diseases, other medical conditions, or environmental factors.
One type of Chronic Dry Eye is caused by decreased tear production due to inflammation. Without enough tears, the film protecting the eye can break down, creating dry spots on the surface of the eye. That’s why it is so important to see your eye doctor. Fortunately, there are prescription options available (see video below).
In rarer cases we need to treat the inflammatory dry eye with medication and block the tear drainage to retain more moisture on the eye. We are able to insert plugs into the punctum of your lower eyelid. The punctum is a small opening where your tears drain from your eye. First, we will insert temporary collagen plugs that will dissolve in about two weeks. Next, if you have tolerated the collagen plugs, we will insert non-dissolving silicone plugs that can be removed if necessary.
Prokera Amniotic Membrane Bandage Contact Lens.
PROKERA® biologic corneal bandage devices are used by eye doctors around the world to heal and treat eye diseases such as keratitis, common dry eye, recurrent corneal erosions, filamentary keratitis, persistent epithelial defects, neurotrophic corneas, herpetic ulcers, and many other ocular surface diseases. The PROKERA® family of products - PROKERA® SLIM, PROKERA®, and PROKERA® PLUS - are the only therapeutic devices cleared by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) that reduce inflammation and simultaneously promote regenerative healing of the ocular surface.
The amniotic membrane tissue in PROKERA®products, which is preserved using the Company’s proprietary CryoTek® processing method to ensure the tissue retains its full biologic activity, has natural therapeutic actions that help damaged eye surfaces heal. PROKERA® products provide faster and more effective healing of the cornea with less pain, scarring and inflammation, leading to clear corneas and improved clinical outcomes.
PROKERA® biologic corneal bandage devices are safe and effective with no risk of intraocular pressure (IOP) spikes or delayed healing. PROKERA® products can be inserted in the doctor’s office, or may be inserted in a surgical or hospital setting in conjunction with other procedures. PROKERA® products can also be used in combination with topical agents.

Optomap
Optomap ultra-wide field digital retinal image is a unique technology that captures more than 80% of your retina in one panoramic image while traditional imaging methods typically only show 15% of your retina at one time.
The optomap is fast, painless and comfortable. Nothing touches your eye at any time. It is suitable for the whole family. To have the exam, you simply look into the device one eye at a time (like looking through a keyhole) and you will see a comfortable flash of light to let you know the image of your retina has been taken.
Under normal circumstances, dilation drops might not be necessary, but your eye care practitioner will decide if your pupils need to be dilated depending on your conditions. The capture takes less than a second. Images are available immediately for review. You can see your own retina. You see exactly what your eye care practitioner sees.
