Specialties

- Ophthalmology
An ophthalmologist has the training to do much more than just prescribe glasses. They are physicians specially trained to diagnose and treat disorders of the eyes and vision. These doctors are experts on the complicated anatomy of the eye and are trained to treat eye diseases through both medical and surgical methods.
Some common conditions that ophthalmologists treat are cataracts, glaucoma, strabismus, diabetic retinopathy, macular degeneration and amblyopia. In addition, ophthalmologists can provide prescriptions for eye glasses and contact lenses and perform LASIK surgery and other corrective surgeries for refractive errors like myopia (near-sightedness), hyperopia (far-sightedness), astigmatism and presbyopia.

Excellent Doctor and team
Self-verified patient of Dr. Syed M Ahmad - Posted on August 26th, 2017
I was referred to Dr. Ahmad by an opthomologist due to an eye infection which required surgery, Dr. Ahmad and his team were compassionate and caring throughout the entire process. I am very pleased with the results. Dr. Ahmad as well as his team followed up with me. I have not experienced this personal level of care in many years. I highly recommend Dr. Ahmad!
