Treatment of Retinal Diseases Including Macular Degeneration, Cataracts and Glaucoma
Joseph J. DeVenuto Jr. M.D., offers comprehensive eye exams and a wide range of professional ophthalmology services.
Comprehensive Eye Exam
We evaluate your ocular health through thorough examination, and determine if you need eyeglasses or contact lenses. The eye exams we conduct test for refractive errors and most importantly diagnosis and treatment of any existing eye disease that is present. A multitude of these eye diseases include cataract, glaucoma, and anterior and posterior segment diseases.
We specialize in ophthalmology, diseases, and surgery of the retina.
If you are not seeing clearly, we will provide you with a prescription for eyeglasses or contact lenses. Our office can aid you in the selection and proper fitting of contact lenses.
Injuries and Infection Treatment
Diagnosis and treatment of all eye diseases and infections are provided in the office. Treatment of eye injuries is carried out medically and/or surgically.
Cataracts
A cataract is a clouding of the eye's lens. This condition affects millions of individuals. It is usually a slow process and causes a gradual reduction in vision. As it limits your ability to see, it causes glare and double vision and causes difficulty driving at night. Correction with a variety of intraocular lenses will restore your vision to its pre-cataract state. Dr. DeVenuto has vast experience with various state of the art intraocular lenses, including the newest Crystalens to correct near and distant vision and the toric intraocular lenses to correct astigmatism.
Dr. DeVenuto has performed thousands of cataract procedures with an excellent success rate.
Glaucoma
Glaucoma, in most cases, is an eye disease that is caused by increased eye pressure and/or poor circulation. These problems can result in damage to the optic nerves causing gradual and complete loss of vision if left untreated. Glaucoma can be treated with medication, including drops and tablets, laser treatment and surgery. Laser treatments are performed in all our offices using various types of lasers which avoid the need of hospital visits.
Anterior & Posterior Segment Disease
Dr. DeVenuto also specializes in treating retinal disease, including macular degenerative diseases, diabetic retinopathy and vessel occlusion. He completed his Retinal Fellowship at Wills Eye Hospital in Philadelphia, PA. This retinal fellowship provides him with the special skills which are necessary to treat retinal disease, including macular degeneration.
Treatments include administration of the newest intraocular medication for macular degeneration and diabetic retinopathy. Laser surgery for retinal tears, vessel occlusions and diabetic retinopathy are performed in all offices.
