request a consultationDo you suffer from nearsightedness, farsightedness or astigmatism? Do you find glasses or contacts cumbersome or uncomfortable and wish you could reduce their prescription or discard them?

Are you experiencing yellow or cloudy vision? Do you feel like you are looking through a piece of wax paper? If so you might be experiencing cataracts. Dr. Chesen can help you regain your vision and put you on a path to better and more clear vision.

Diabetes (diabetes mellitus) is a common disease in which blood-sugar levels are chronically too high. The most common eye complication of diabetes is diabetic retinopathy, a leading cause of adult blindness. Like most retinal conditions, early detection and proper treatment are very important when it comes to saving your vision.
Glaucoma is an eye disease that causes optic nerve damage. The number of Americans living with glaucoma has risen to over 3 million and 200,000 more people each year are diagnosed with the disease. Blindness related to glaucoma is the most common cause of blindness in older adults.
Dry eye syndrome is a common disease in which the eye under-produces tears or tears leave the eye too quickly. A normal functioning eye constantly produces tears to form a tear film which acts as moisturizer and lubricant. For someone with dry eye, the resulting lack of moisture and lubrication can cause a variety of problems.
Keratoconus is an eye condition where your cornea begins to thin and bulge into a cone shape. Keratoconus can cause blurry vision and sensitivity to light and glares. However, keratoconus can be treated through cornea transplants, corneal collagen cross-linking or glasses and contact lenses in earlier stages.
Macular degeneration effects cells in the macula, which is the part of the retina responsible for central vision. Central vision is essential for most basic tasks like reading, driving, recognizing people, etc. Thus, although macular degeneration leaves peripheral vision intact, it can be quite debilitating in its advanced state.
Eye exams are an important part of maintaining good overall eye health. Having regular eye exams is a critical component in detecting eye diseases or problems in their early stages when they are often still treatable. With regular eye exams Dr. Chesen can sometimes detect a problem before any noticeable symptoms begin to occur.
Eye exams are necessary to prescribe proper corrective lenses or contacts but can also help monitor an eye condition. Regular eye exams are the key to preserving good vision for life.

Chesen Laser Eye Center has given me freedom from glasses and contacts. I get migraine headaches and could not wear glasses or contacts when I got a headache.
I wish I would have met Dr. Chesen years ago. I would highly recommend Dr. Chesen and his staff to anyone considering LASIK eye surgery.
After wearing heavy glasses for forty-one years having LASIK surgery was truly a life-changing experience. I thought that I would be wearing glasses the rest of my life.
