Would you like to decrease your dependency on glasses or contact lenses? This is now an option with the use of premium lifestyle lens implants. Individuals suffering from cataracts previously had only a monofocal lens implant option after surgery. NEW multifocal IOL technology provides multiple ranges of vision: near, intermediate and far, giving you the opportunity to reduce or even eliminate your dependency on glasses!
Did you know there is now advanced testing available for diagnosing macular degeneration? Macular Risk® is a DNA test that identifies genetic markers associated with Macular Degeneration. By analyzing these genetic markers along with smoking history, we can identify who needs more frequent eye examinations and who may benefit from eye vitamins.

The state of the art medical facilities of the Kaufman Eye Institute are among the most technologically advanced in Central Florida. Comprehensive eye examinations are done for both adults and children.
Some examples of the type of examinations we perform are state of the art cataract evaluations including potential acuity measurements, automated computerized A-scan (eye length measurement to predict lens power) and evaluation with ultrasound (B-scan) to image the eye and detect problems that ordinary viewing methods can not detect. The Kaufman Eye Institute also enjoys the distinction of having a retinal vascular center in which digital fluorescein angiography is performed with a state of the art digital Zeiss system. This critical high-end technology device enables early detection and treatment of numerous eye disorders and is key to advanced eye care. Sight threatening diseases can be evaluated in minutes.
Glaucoma and neurological problems can be quickly detected with our computerized Humphrey visual fields. This new and improved method of measuring a patient's visual field takes a third of the time of the older instruments and has better reliability. Ocular coherence tomography can actually section the retina and optic nerve tissue giving unprecedented images and allows for early diagnosis and better medical and surgical treatment options.
Numerous in office procedures are performed on site including cosmetic lid surgery, laser surgery for glaucoma, macular degeneration, diabetes of the eye, and after cataract membranes (YAG Laser).
