Arthritis
Dry eye syndrome is the most common ophthalmic manifestation of rheumatoid arthritis and women are nine times more commonly affected than men.
Primary Care
At Silver Spring Eye we perform in-office diabetic eye exams and diagnostic testing as well as work with your primary care physician and retina specialists to be certain you have access to the care you might need including non-surgical retina injection treatment with Lucentis®, Eylea®, or other medications, laser treatment and surgery if needed to help maintain your vision and prevent vision loss caused by diabetic retinopathy and diabetic macular edema.
Emergency Care
During business hours, patients should call our office locations to speak with a staff member. After business hours, our after-hours service can be reached at 240-638-9726 to route your call to a member of our on-call patient care team. Please note, any patient with a medical emergency is advised to dial 911 to receive emergency medical care.
Electrocardiogram
Electroretinography is an electrophysiological test of the retina, the layer of the eye which detects light. The Electroretinogram (ERG) is to the retina what the electrocardiogram (ECG) is to the heart. Just as an ECG is crucial to diagnosing illness and monitoring the heart’s function, ERG plays a critical role in the care of the eye and is instrumental in the early detection of retinal dysfunction. Electroretinography provides a wealth of objective, vital information about the retinal function and health and plays a vital role in the diagnosis of acquired and inherited eye diseases and dystrophies. An ERG can also be useful in determining if retinal surgery or other types of ocular surgery such as cataract extraction might be useful. It is the only test that can detect Plaquenil toxicity before significant vision loss has occurred.

Ophthalmologists

Glaucoma
During your exam or as part of a special glaucoma testing visit, we may perform several tests to be able to provide early detection and make the most accurate diagnosis of glaucoma. These may include the following...
Ophthalmology
Anna Park, M.D. is an Ophthalmologist in Silver Spring, MD who has provided medical, laser & surgical eye care to metro DC communities since 2004. Dr. Park earned her medical degree at the Medical College of Virginia and completed a residency in Ophthalmology at The Ohio State University Hospital.
Macular Degeneration
Age Related Macular Degeneration (AMD) is a leading cause of vision loss in people over 50 in which the central portion of the retina, called the macula, is damaged as a result of the hardening of the small arteries supplying oxygen and nutrients to the retinal tissue. There are two main types of Age Related Macular Degeneration: Dry Macular Degeneration and Wet Macular Degeneration. Dry Macular Degeneration is the most common type of Age Related Macular Degeneration making up 85-90% of cases, resulting in a slow progressive loss of vision. Typically, we see small, yellow-colored deposits between the retinal layers, which are called drusen. Many people 50 years of age or older have some drusen as they age and may be asked to schedule eye exams more frequently to monitor them as there is some possibility that Dry Macular Degeneration will progress to Wet Macular Degeneration. We need to detect Wet Macular Degeneration quickly as it has far more serious consequences for vision loss. Wet Macular Degeneration is characterized by an abnormal growth of new blood vessels under the retina, called “neovascularization,” which is prone to be leaky and can easily break and bleed. If leakage occurs, the macula may begin to swell, bleed, and scar causing severe loss of central vision, which may be irreversible.
Laser Eye Surgery
The ophthalmologists at Silver Spring Eye are eye physicians & surgeons who are specialists in medical eye care, laser eye care & eye surgery. They provide comprehensive eye care services including...
Cataracts
A cataract is a clouding of the crystalline lens of the eye preventing light rays from passing through it easily. This results in a clouding and blurring of vision. For many patients, cataracts start slowly and have little effect on vision at first. But, as the cataract becomes denser, so does the impact on vision. Cataracts are a common cause of vision problems among people in their 50s and 60s and they are a major cause of senior eye problems and vision loss. More than 20 million Americans age 40 and older and more than half of all Americans develop cataracts by age 80.
Cataract Surgery
During your cataract exam and preoperative measurement visit, Drs. Yau & Gupta and the staff will discuss choosing a cataract lens implant to correct your vision and help you see clearly. There are many types of Intraocular Lens Implants (IOL) that we can use to provide you with the best results to match your lifestyle and activities after cataract surgery. These different types of lens implants include Monofocal Lens Implants which are the most basic type of lens implant and only correct distance vision and not arms-length or close reading vision, aspheric high definition lens implants which offer a higher quality of distance vision but still do not correct arms-length or close reading vision, toric lens implants for those patients with astigmatism, and presbyopia correcting multifocal & extended depth of focus lens implants such as the Clareon® Vivity™ Extended Vision Intraocular Lens, the Clareon® PanOptix™ Trifocal Lens Implant, the TECNIS Symfony, the TECNIS Multifocal IOL and TECNIS Synergy™ Lens Implants (IOL) which correct distance vision, as well as a range of arms-length vision and close reading vision for most patients. Presbyopia-correcting multifocal & extended depth of focus lens implants are a good choice for those who wish to reduce their dependence on eyeglasses, bifocals, and reading glasses after cataract surgery. We will take the time necessary to answer all of your questions so you can relax on the day of your surgery.
Eye Exam
Our doctors are Medical Doctors who specialize in the diagnosis and treatment of eye diseases and perform surgery. Medical doctors bill under Medical insurance. You may have a separate “Vision Insurance” in addition to Medical Insurance. “Vision Insurance” is generally provided by doctors of Optometry who specialize in refraction and fitting of contact lenses and eyeglasses. We do not do contact lens fittings, although we will gladly check you for eyeglasses prescription along with your comprehensive medical eye exam, as Medical doctors we do not participate in “Vision Plans”.

Diabetes Care
Diabetic Retinopathy
Diabetic Retinopathy (DR) is a complication of Diabetes Mellitus that left undetected and treated can lead to severe and catastrophic vision loss. All patients with diabetes should have regular eye exams and diagnostic testing to detect changes in the small blood vessels of the retina that may indicate the need for treatment-even if there is no vision loss!

Ulcer
The outermost layer of the cornea is called the epithelium. If it is damaged from trauma of any type, i.e. getting a foreign body in your eyes such as a piece of metal, a poke in the eye from a branch or a finger, or even from a dirty or damaged contact lens, bacteria, viruses or fungi can penetrate the cornea and cause an infection. An infection of the cornea is called Keratitis or Ulcer. Keratitis can cause a painful inflammation with a discharge, which if not treated quickly and appropriately, can lead to corneal erosion, corneal ulceration, and corneal scarring. Corneal scarring results in a loss of corneal transparency and can require a corneal transplant to restore vision.
