She misdiagnosed and did unnecessary procedures on me. She taught I have dry eyes and quickly jumped into putting punctual plugs ($$). Plus I used medications she gave me for about an year and things got progressively worse. I spend lot of money for treatment and lost lot of productive time from my life (about 2 years).

She is a nice person but I don't think she is a good doctor.. especially in my case.

Overall

Excellent experience

Dr. Duncan and her staff are an example of the way medicine should be practiced. They are timely, efficient and professional. I recommend Dr. Duncan without reservation.

General Practitioners

Arthritis
People with connective tissue and autoimmune diseases, such as rheumatoid arthritis, are prone to developing dry eye. It is important to note that dry eye is sometimes a symptom of Sjögren’s syndrome, a disease that affects the body’s lubricating glands, such as the tear and salivary glands. A complete physical examination may diagnose any underlying diseases.
Ear Infections
See your ophthalmologist if you have any of these symptoms. Ear infections also commonly occur in children who have bacterial conjunctivitis. The ophthalmologist will examine your eyes and possibly take a sample of fluid from the eyelid with a cotton swab. Bacteria or viruses that may have caused conjunctivitis can then be seen through a microscope.

Ophthalmologists

Glaucoma
Glaucoma is a group of several diseases that can damage the eye’s optic nerve and result in vision loss and, without treatment, blindness. This group of diseases damages the retinal nerve fiber layer (NFL), one of the ten layers of the retina. With the progression of glaucoma there is a characteristic damage to these fibers, which are also known as retinal ganglion cells.
Ophthalmology
Dr. Duncan moved back to Memphis for postgraduate training, completing her internship at Methodist University Hospital in 2003 and residency at the University of Tennessee-Memphis Department of Ophthalmology/Hamilton Eye Institute in 2006. Since then she has worked in private practice as a comprehensive ophthalmologist in Memphis, obtaining board certification from the American Board of Ophthalmology in 2008. She opened Duncan Eye, PLLC in December 2010.
Laser Eye Surgery
Trabeculectomy surgery is about 60 to 80 percent effective at lowering eye pressure. If the new drainage opening narrows, a second operation may be needed. Trabeculectomy surgery works best if you have not had previous eye surgery, such as a cataract operation. In some instances, your vision may not be as good as it was before trabeculectomy surgery. There are potentially many side effects, including cataract, problems with the cornea, and inflammation or infection inside the eye, which can be vision threatening. The buildup of fluid in the back of the eye may cause some patients to see shadows in their vision. If you have any of these problems, tell your doctor so a treatment plan can be developed.
Cataracts
A cataract is a gradual clouding of the natural lens of the eye, which is behind the iris, or colored part of the eye. It is usually a result of normal aging changes, but may be affected by certain diseases or medications or prior retinal surgery.
Cataract Surgery
Cataract surgery should be performed when cataracts cause enough vision loss to interfere with daily activities. Cataracts are a normal change that comes with aging and are typically not damaging to the eye. The patient can generally expect the same results from surgery regardless of when the surgery is performed. For this reason, the surgery is considered elective and the patient can decide if and when he or she wants to have. This decision is based on how the cataract affects the patient’s daily activities and the patients overall health. For most people, the important issues are driving or reading, but the need for surgery may also be based on recreational activities (golfing, hunting, sewing) or work.
Eye Exam
Going in for an eye exam ? Your doctor may dilate your eyes to make sure they’re healthy. But the test can leave you battling the glare of sunlight and blurry vision. So is it safe to drive yourself home after your appointment?

Ultrasound
Cataract surgery is performed on an outpatient basis with local anesthesia. The patient is awake, though lightly sedated, and does not feel the surgery. The procedure itself generally takes 15 to 20 minutes, but there is additional preoperative and postoperative time. During the surgery the natural lens of the eye is broken up into smaller fragments using ultrasound power, and suctioned from the eye. This process called phacoemulsification. The clouded lens is then replaced with an artificial intraocular lens (implant) in order to restore vision. There is typically no pain following surgery and the patient can be active as soon as the sedation wears off.
