General Practitioners

Arthritis
Anterior uveitis can be caused by several different diseases. It can also be caused by blunt trauma to the eye, infections such as bacterial infections and autoimmune diseases or rheumatoid arthritis. Often, no underlying cause can be determined.

Ophthalmologists

Glaucoma
Glaucoma is an umbrella term that encompasses a group of eye conditions that damages your eye’s optic nerve. In any glaucoma-related condition, the fluid builds up in the front part of the eye which increases the pressure in the eye, ultimately damaging the optic nerve. The two primary types of glaucoma are primary open-angle glaucoma and angle-closure glaucoma. These two types of glaucoma make up the majority of cases of glaucoma, but are not the only types of this condition. Rarer forms of glaucoma include childhood glaucoma, pseudoexfoliation syndrome, iris corneal endothelial syndrome and neovascular glaucoma.
Ophthalmology
A native Atlantan and veteran ophthalmologist, Dr. Tucker is a graduate of Emory University School of Medicine. He completed his residency training at the Emory University Eye Center, which is consistently ranked among the top ten ophthalmology training programs in the U.S. Dr. Tucker is board-certified by the American Board of Ophthalmology and is a Fellow of the American College of Surgeons.
Cataracts
A cataract is a medical condition in which the lens of the eye becomes cloudy. This cloudiness may become severe enough to cause blurred vision. Most cataracts develop slowly over time, taking a long time to disturb your eyesight. Looking through a cataract has been described as similar to looking through a frosty or fogged-up window. This clouded vision can make it difficult to read or drive a car (especially at night).
Cataract Surgery
A cataract is a clouding of the lens in the eye that affects the quality of vision. Most cataracts are related to aging and are very common in older people. By age 80, more than half of all Americans have either a cataract or have had cataract surgery. A cataract can occur in either one or both eyes but cannot spread from one eye to the other.
Eye Exam
A pinguecula is a yellowish patch or bump on the eye’s conjunctiva, consisting of a deposit of protein, fat, or calcium. Pingueculae (the plural form of pinguecula) typically grow near the cornea closest to the nose and resemble something like a callus on your skin. These growths can often be seen without the use of any equipment. Pingueculae do not affect vision but become irritating if they become raised. Rarely, pingueculae can become pterygium. Like a pinguecula, pterygium is a growth on the white part of the eye, but unlike pinguecula, pterygium is a growth of fleshy tissue that can be small or can become large enough to cover part of the cornea. In this case, a pterygium can affect your vision. To diagnose pinguecula, a thorough eye examination is necessary to determine how advanced the growth is and if there are any other issues before going forward with a treatment plan.

Diabetic Retinopathy
Diabetic retinopathy is caused when high blood sugar levels cause damage to blood vessels in the retina. Any individual with type 1 or type 2 diabetes can develop this condition. Persons who have had diabetes for a long time or who have uncontrolled blood sugar levels are more likely to develop diabetic retinopathy.
