Ophthalmologists

Glaucoma
Boston University Eye Associates glaucoma service provides comprehensive medical and surgical management for glaucoma. Glaucoma is a complicated disease in which damage to the optic nerve results in vision loss. Elevated eye pressure is an important risk factor in the development of glaucoma. In the early stages, glaucoma typically has no obvious symptoms thus it has been called “the silent thief of sight”. Therefore early diagnosis and treatment is important, since it can halt or prevent optic nerve damage. Risk factors for glaucoma include: African-American and Asian race, age over 60, family history of glaucoma, steroid use (i.e. for asthma), and eye injury. Other possible risk factors include: extensive blood loss, sleep apnea, raynaud’s phenomenon, nearsightedness, hypertension, and diabetes.
Ophthalmology
Applicants should send a curriculum vitae, names of potential references, and a letter of interest addressed to Stephen P. Christiansen, MD, Chair, Ophthalmology Department, Boston Medical Center, 85 East Concord St, 8
Macular Degeneration
OCT is a painless noninvasive technique which shows the thickness of the retinal layers of the eye. Your eyes are dilated in order to accurately view the back of the eye. This is used for diagnosing early Glaucoma, Macular Degeneration, and other retinal diseases.
Laser Eye Surgery
Our doctors specialize in helping you choose the right procedure for your eyes. We offer an all-laser system that reshapes the eye to an optimized, naturally aspheric (not perfectly round) corneal shape. Using this remarkable technique we can achieve precise, personal treatment to a broad range of patients including those with nearsightedness, farsightedness, and/or astigmatism. LASIK (refractive surgery) can reduce or eliminate your dependency on contacts and glasses.
Cataracts
Cataracts. This can severely impact vision and requires surgery to fix. A child with a ‘white pupil’ needs an examination from a qualified ophthalmologist as soon as this problem is noticed.
Cataract Surgery
The specialists at BUEA also offer refractive cataract surgery. Many options, such the Restor multifocal intraocular lens (IOL) or the astigmatism correcting toric IOLs from Alcon are available. Schedule an evaluation today to speak to your doctor regarding your options, and visit the Restor web site for more information.
Eye Exam
Glaucoma can only be diagnosed through a routine complete eye exam. Therefore it is important to have your eyes checked regularly. As part of the examination you may also undergo testing of peripheral vision as well as have photographs taken of the optic nerve. There are two main types of glaucoma...

Neurology
Neuro-ophthalmology is an ophthalmic subspecialty of both neurology and ophthalmology that addresses the relationships between the eye and the brain, including disorders of the cranial nerves associated with visual symptoms. Neuro-ophthalmology consultations are made through referring doctors – such as ophthalmologists, neurologists, neuro-surgeons or optometrists – when their patients have issues that they want addressed.
Autism
Dr. Susannah Rowe leads the Exceptional Vision Service at Boston Medical Center in collaboration with Dr. Manju Subramanian and Dr. Jean Ramsey. For the last five years, the mission of the Service has been to provide the highest quality eye care for people with a variety of special needs that might interfere with ordinary eye exams. Patients who come to the Exceptional Vision Service have a range of diagnoses, some of which create unique challenges during regular eye exams or surgery. These conditions in both adults and children include intellectual disabilities, dementia, mental health issues, communication difficulties, autism, Asperger syndrome and physical impairments. Many patients who were considered poor candidates for eye surgery elsewhere have successfully undergone cataract surgery at Boston Medical Center. Some of these people have experienced dramatic improvements in quality of life, social engagement and independence following cataract surgery.

Diabetes Care
Diabetic Retinopathy
The Boston University Eye Associates Retina Service offers complete diagnosis and treatment for both medical and surgical diseases of the retina and vitreous. Areas of treatment expertise include diabetic retinopathy, age related macular degeneration, retinal vascular occlusions, inherited retinal degenerations, and macular edema, as well as intraocular inflammation and tumors. We offer state of the art surgical care for retinal tears and detachments, macular holes, epiretinal membranes, and other vitreoretinal disorders. Our specialists utilize advanced imaging techniques including high-resolution spectral domain optical coherence tomography (OCT), digital fundus photography, fluorescein and indocyanine green angiography, and B scan ultrasonography to provide the most accurate diagnosis of posterior segment eye disease.

Ultrasound
B-Scan – ultrasound of the back of eye which can detect any abnormalities in the back of the eye including tumors, bleeding, swelling, foreign bodies or retinal detachment.

Reconstructive Surgery

Plastic Surgeons

Botox
Cosmetic Botox: Prominent facial lines can be misinterpreted as anger, anxiety, fatigue or sadness and are the stigmata of the aging face. A number of factors cause these undesirable lines, including fat atrophy, solar damage, chronic gravitational changes and hyperfunctional lines. Hyperfunctional lines are the result of muscles contracting beneath the skin, and are sometimes referred to, depending on location, as crows feet, lipstick lines, forehead furrows and glabellar folds (between the eyebrows.) When attempting to eliminate these wrinkles, it is important to address the underlying physiology, which means paralyzing the muscle.
Brow Lift
Brow Lift: The appearance of looking tired, contributes to excess skin in the upper eyelids. Through several small incisions behind the hairline, endoscopic equipment can be used to lift the forehead and brows to restore a smoother, less wrinkled forehead and higher eyebrow position.
Eyelid Surgery
The number of cosmetic surgeries performed in the United States has been on the rise for a number of years, and cosmetic eyelid surgery remains one of the most common of these plastic surgery procedures. A broad range of surgeries and office procedures are available to address a variety of cosmetic problems and concerns. When contemplating eyelid surgery or cosmetic surgery to the mid- and upper face, an oculoplastic surgeon should be considered.
Plastic Surgery
Oculoplastic or ophthalmic plastic surgeons complete an ophthalmology residency as well as plastic surgery fellowship training. Oculoplastic surgeons are uniquely equipped to ensure the safety of the eyes during cosmetic surgery in the eye area.
Blepharoplasty
Upper and lower lid blepharoplasty: This procedure removes wrinkled skin and bulging fat from the eyelids. It helps to restore a more youthful appearance and reduces the feeling of heaviness caused by these excess tissues.
Cosmetic Surgery
Realistic expectations can enhance ones appearance and self-confidence, and help to restore a more youthful appearance. Some popular cosmetic procedures performed around the eyes and upper face include...
