  • Comprehensive Eye Care

    The doctors at Pacific Eye Institute can assist with your routine eye screenings, minor surgeries, dry eye management and more. In order to maintain healthy vision, it is important to have regular eye exams. Early detection and treatment of vision challenges can be the key to preventing vision loss. Many debilitating eye diseases can be diagnosed before noticeable symptoms occur, potentially making the difference between minor damage and major vision loss. While some eye diseases have apparent symptoms such as red eyes, light sensitivity, or flashing lights, many serious, vision-threatening problems have no warning signs. A comprehensive eye examination involves a series of tests designed to evaluate your vision and check for eye diseases. Each test is necessary and allows your doctor to evaluate different aspects of your vision. How Often to Have Eye Exams Adults with healthy eyesight may only need an eye exam every two years. However, if you are over age 60, have diabetes or have a family history of eye disease, it is a good idea to have your eyes checked every six to twelve months. Consult your eye care professional regarding how often you should have routine eye exams for your unique situation.

  • Cataract Surgery

    If you’re concerned you may be affected by cataracts, we recommend scheduling a Cataract Evaluation with one of our cataract specialists. If cataract surgery is recommended, your surgeon will discuss your visual goals following the procedure. It’s possible you may be eligible for an upgraded lens or vision package, if you wish to become less dependent upon glasses or contacts following the procedure. We offer the latest in Premium Lenses and look forward to helping you see clearly again!

  • Glaucoma

    The team at Pacific Eye Institute can help patients prevent serious vision loss or blindness from glaucoma by providing early detection of this eye disease. An annual fully dilated eye examination is highly recommended and could uncover this disease before symptoms even occur. Although vision loss from glaucoma can’t be recovered, we are fortunate to have plenty of treatment options available to help halt the progression of this disease and avoid further vision damage. Our Glaucoma experts can offer you a wide spectrum of treatment options depending on the type and stage of an individual's glaucoma. Treatment of glaucoma is directed at maintaining a proper balance of fluid in the eye to decrease the pressure on the optic nerve. Eye drops are used to decrease fluid production or promote more efficient drainage of fluid in the eye. Some people opt for surgery to slow vision loss. Laser surgery can reduce production of fluid or make a drainage hole for the fluid. Microsurgical methods create more drainage for the excess fluid present in the eye, but they are riskier than laser surgery techniques. Although there is no cure, close medical attention can preserve as much of your eyesight as possible. The cause of glaucoma is unknown, but there are several risk factors that increase your risks of developing glaucoma. These include high eye pressure (intraocular pressure-IOP), older age, being of African-American or Hispanic descent or having a family history of glaucoma. Even if you don’t have any of these risk factors, you should still have regular eye exams. Call us today!

  • Cornea

    Corneal problems can happen to anyone at any age. If something such as disease, injury, or infection damages the cornea, it can become cloudy and warped. A damaged cornea distorts light as it travels into the eye, affecting your vision. It may even be painful. The smoothness and shape of the cornea is vitally important to its proper functioning, as is its transparency. If either the surface smoothness, or the clarity of the cornea surface is disturbed, vision becomes distorted. Pacific Eye Institute's team of Inland Empire corneal specialists can diagnose corneal conditions and provide the right treatment to protect this important layer of your eyes.

  • Dry Eye

    Most people experience some degree of dry eye symptoms during their lives. Wearing contact lenses can cause your eyes to become irritated and environmental factors (wind, pollution, sun, smoke or dry air inside homes or offices) also play a part in eye irritation. You may only need to remove your contacts and use over-the-counter eye drops to soothe your eyes in these cases. However, when you suffer from chronic dry eye, there may be an underlying condition that is reducing the amount or quality of healthy tear film on your eyes. Our dry eye treatments for Inland Empire patients will depend on the root cause of your condition. Treatments may include: - LipiFlow® Thermal Pulsation System - Punctal plugs - Artificial tears - Prescription eye drops - Lid scrubs - BRUDER Moist Heat Eye Compress - Vitamins - Environmental or lifestyle changes

  • Retina and Vitreoretinal Surgery

    Our retinal doctors will assess the root cause of your retina problem in order to recommend the most effective treatment. Treatment may include different procedures to reduce retinal pulling due to vitreous gel contractions such as a vitrectomy to remove part of the vitreous gel from the eye. Laser surgery may help to reconnect the retina. Swift and accurate treatment will be vital to preserving your vision. We provide treatment for; Diabetic Eye Care Retinal Detachment Age-Related Macular Degeneration Macular Hole/Pucker Retinal Vein and Artery Occlusion and more

  • Cosmetic and Oculoplastic Facial Surgery

    At Pacific Eye Institute, we have a team of oculoplastic eye surgeons who are highly skilled ophthalmologists and specialize in all types of procedures that encompass the eyelids, tear ducts and more. Unlike many general plastic or cosmetic surgeons, they have in-depth knowledge of the delicate structures of the eye so they are particularly meticulous in protecting vision while also improving appearance and function. As with all facial plastic surgery, good health and realistic expectations are prerequisites for undergoing eyelid surgery. Ask us about our aesthetic services - including Botox and Fillers! We offer treatment for: Ptosis Dacryocystorhinostomy (DCR) Eyelid Malpositions Eyelid Growths Thyroid Related Eye Disease Chalazion Removal Blepharospasm Skin Cancer

  • PKP

    This is a surgical procedure to replace the normally clear outer surface of the eye called the cornea. There are several reasons that this procedure may be needed. Keratoconus – Progressive thinning of the cornea that creates a distorted and blurred vision. Corneal scar – Any injury or infection can lead to a permanent scar interfering with clear vision. Fuchs dystrophy – A degenerative condition of the cornea resulting in swelling and loss of clarity.

    Link: PKP

  • DSEK

    Traditionally, irreversible swelling of the cornea is treated with a full thickness corneal transplant. New technology has made it possible to remove only the inner lining of the cornea and replace it with donor tissue. This tissue is held in place initially by an air bubble and no sutures are used which leads to a much faster recovery time.

    Link: DSEK

  • DMEK

    This is a new type of partial thickness corneal graft. It replaces only the Descemet’s membrane and endothelium, leaving the patient with a cornea that is closer to its original condition. This results in a quicker recovery time and less refractive shift.

    Link: DMEK

  • Pteryguim Removal

    Pteryguim is a non-cancerous growth on the front surface of the eye and may be caused by UV light exposure, dust, wind and dry eye. It can appear as a pink or red growth on the white part of the eye and may continue to grow towards the pupil. If this happens or begins to cause discomfort, it can be removed. New technologies use donor amniotic grafts and tissue glue which increase comfort and speed recovery time.

  • Ectropion and Entropion Repair

    Over time the muscles that hold the eyelids in their proper position can become lax causing the lids to turn either inward or outward. When the lid turns inward (entropion) the lashes rub against the eye causing tearing and discomfort. When the lid turns outward (ectropion) the eye is unable to hold in the tears that keep it moist and leads to reflux tearing and dry eye. Surgery can restore the eyelid to its proper position and is done on an outpatient basis.

  • Blepharoplasty

    Aging changes in the eyelid area can lead to drooping lids, hanging skin, obscured vision and a more tired appearance. These conditions can be corrected for cosmetic reasons or simply to restore clearer vision and can often be covered by insurance.

    Link: Blepharoplasty

  • Ptosis

    The muscle that is responsible for holding the upper eyelid in place can also weaken over time causing the lid to droop, impairing vision and creating an unbalanced appearance. Surgery can tighten this muscle and raise the eyelid.

    Link: Ptosis

  • DCR

    The eye produces tears to keep it moist and this fluid drains through a passage called the nasolacrimal duct system. Sometimes this drainage system can become clogged and results in excessive tearing, acute infection and chronic inflammation. A new pathway can be surgically created that will alleviate symptoms and prevent further infections.

    Link: DCR

  • Chalazion

    The eyelids contain oil glands that can become clogged causing a painful red bump. This can sometimes be resolved by applying warm compresses and an antibiotic ointment. If after treatment, the bump remains, it can be surgically drained and removed.

  • Basal Cell Carcinoma

    This is the most common type of malignancy and is easily treated when detected early. It appears as a hard nodule with a pearly appearance. If left untreated, it can ulcerate the skin and invade surrounding tissues.

    Link: Basal Cell Carcinoma

  • Squamous Cell Carcinoma

    While less common than Basal Cell Carcinoma, this cancer can be very aggressive and spread quickly. It can appear as scaly red patches, open sores, elevated growths with a central depression, or warts that crust over and bleed.

    Link: Squamous Cell Carcinoma

  • Melanoma

    Melanoma is the most dangerous form of skin cancer. It most often starts on the skin but can progress to other parts of the body including the eye. It can be life threatening if left untreated but with early detection and surgical intervention, there is an excellent survival rate.

    Link: Melanoma

  • Botox®

    Blepharospasm is a neurological condition that is characterized by the forcible closure of the eyelids. It is not life threatening but can cause great difficulty when driving or performing normal daily activities. Botulinum toxin can be injected into the affected muscles to temporarily paralyze them and restore normal eyelid function.

    Link: Botox®

  • Retinal Detachment

    A retinal detachment is a serious eye condition in which the retina detaches from the back of the eye. This may cause a patient to experience flashes of light, an increase in floaters and a shade or curtain coming over the vision. The retina can be reattached in a variety of ways and can restore vision or preserve vision if detected early.

    Link: Retinal Detachment

  • Vitrectomy

    Vitrectomy is the surgical removal of the vietreous gel from the eye. This may be done as part of a retinal detachment repair to give the ophthalmologist a better view, or to assist in the treatment and clearing of bleeding in the back of the eye.

    Link: Vitrectomy

  • Lucentis

    If the eye contains extra amounts of protein called VEGF (vascular endothelial growth factor), it can cause abnormal blood vessels to leak fluid that builds up in the eye and leads to vision changes. Lucentis injections can improve vision and reduce swelling by preventing damaged bleed vessels from leaking.

    Link: Lucentis

  • Avastin

    Avastin also blocks the protein VEGF and can be used to treat several eye conditions: Age related macular degeneration Diabetic retinopathy Central retinal vein occlusion
