Ophthalmologists

Glaucoma
Glaucoma is a term that encompasses a variety of eye diseases, which cause a build-up of pressure within the eye. This fluid pressure builds until it eventually pushes the optic nerve back into a concave shape. If the pressure remains too high for too long permanent damage will occur to the optic nerve. Although glaucoma may start in one eye, it usually progresses affecting both eyes equally.
Ophthalmology
Since all health plans vary, we encourage you to check with your carrier prior to your visit to see what specific ophthalmology services will be covered.
Macular Degeneration
Macular Degeneration (AMD) occurs when the macular in the eye becomes damaged. The macular is the part of the retina responsible for central vision. When damaged the patient will experience a loss of central vision but will maintain peripheral vision. The two types of Macular Degeneration (AMD) are Dry AMD and Wet AMD.
Laser Eye Surgery
Refractive Lens Exchange is a popular procedure chosen by refractive surgeons to correct the vision of patients over the age of forty who are interested in correcting distance and reading vision. It is also a great option for patients who are not good LASIK candidates due to prescription or thin corneas.
Cataracts
Always a leader in the field of vision correction and constantly striving for the best, Dr. Balin offers her cataract patients the most advanced selection of intraocular lenses available.
Cataract Surgery
Dr. Balin performs both Refractive Cataract Surgery and Traditional Cataract surgery using the most advanced surgical technique, phacoemulsification. The difference between the two surgeries is in the lens selection.
Eye Exam
A Contact Lens Exam is different from a Routine Eye Exam and is needed for any patient who wears contacts.

Diabetes Care
Diabetic Retinopathy
Diabetes is a disease, which occurs when the body does not generate enough insulin to properly regulate the individual’s blood sugar level. The disease, which can occur in both adults and children, poses many threats to the individual’s vision. The deteriorating effect that diabetes has on the eye is called Diabetic Retinopathy. Patients who have been diagnosed with Diabetes need to undergo regular comprehensive eye exams by an ophthalmologist to monitor and properly treat their Diabetic Retinopathy.

Plastic Surgeons

Botox
BOTOXÂ® Cosmetic has been used to temporarily reduce facial lines in over 1 million people. Since its approval by the FDA in 2002 BOTOXÂ® Cosmetic has become extremely popular as a non-surgical treatment for frown lines and wrinkles. These facial lines are caused by repeated muscle movement. As we frown or smile, muscles contract and pull the skin. As we age our skin becomes less elastic. Repeated pulling of the skin results in the formation of lines and wrinkles. BOTOXÂ® Cosmetic is a purified protein that when injected into a muscle will block the nerve impulses that cause that muscle to move. The doctor injects small amounts of BOTOXÂ® Cosmetic into the facial muscles responsible for the frown lines and wrinkles. By reducing the movement of the muscle the lines begin to diminish and the face appears much smoother.
Eyelid Surgery
Entropion and Ectropion can cause painful symptoms for patients. Excess eyelid skin can limit the patient’s field of vision and cause some adverse symptoms. Eyelid Surgery can reduce the painful symptoms from these conditions, as well as, improve the patient’s field of vision and the overall appearance of the eye. Prior to the surgery, the eye and the eyelid are thoroughly examined. The surgery is performed by eye surgeon Dr. Balin at our surgical suite located in Northampton at the Balin Eye & Laser Center on an outpatient basis using local anesthesia.
Blepharoplasty
The Balin Eye & Laser Center is a full-service eye treatment facility, specializing in conditions of the eye as well as the eyelid. Dr. Balin performs cosmetic eyelid surgery to treat eyelid abnormalities caused by disease, injury or natural aging. Dr. Balin routinely removes cysts, growths and skin cancers from the eye area. She also performs Blepharoplasty to treat excess eyelid skin, as well as, surgery for Ptosis, Ectropion and Entropion.

Cyst
Ulcer
Excessive stretching of the lower eyelid can cause the eyelid to droop down and turn inward. This condition can also be caused by infection and scarring inside the eyelid. When the eyelid turns inward the eyelashes and skin irritate the eye by constantly rubbing against it. This results in making the eye red and sensitive to light and wind. If left untreated Entropion may result in the formation of an eye ulcer. Surgery is necessary to return the eyelid to its normal position.
Lesions
It takes at least 90 minutes to perform a comprehensive eye examination. The exam begins with a complete assessment of the patient’s current range of vision to determine if the patient needs any eyeglasses and the actual prescription needed. The eyes and eyelid area are then checked for proper function, abnormal lesions, infections or malpositions. Ocular motility and pupillary function are also checked. A complete assessment of the cornea, iris, and lens is performed including checking for conditions such as dry eyes, corneal lesions or abnormalities, glaucoma, and cataracts. The eyes are dilated and the eye is checked for optic nerve abnormalities, macular degeneration, or abnormalities of the vitreous humor and retina. The eyes will remain dilated for several hours so you will be sensitive to light and your up-close vision will be blurry. We recommend that you bring sunglasses to wear after the exam.
