Eyecare services we provide
LASIK - LASIK surgery is a corneal surgery that corrects nearsightedness, farsightedness and astigmatism using an ultraviolet excimer laser, minimizing the need for glasses and/or contact lenses. Dr. Del Pero, alongside former NASA scientists and laser physicists, performed the first treatments of patients in the US in 1991.
Am I a candidate for LASIK? We will provide you a LASIK consultation where we can answer that question for you personally! There is a non-refundable consultation fee of $200 due at the time of service that will be applied towards your surgery if you schedule.
Cataracts - Cataracts are clouding of the lens in the eye. While some medical conditions and medications may cause cataracts, most people will develop cataracts over time. Symptoms include blurred vision, hazy vision and glare.
Do you do cataract surgeries? Yes! Dr. Del Pero has had a special interest in cataract and lens implant surgery since 19__. Testimonies to his precision and surgical care abound in the community as he not only removes the cataract, but aims to enhance the vision to reduce the need for glasses afterwards. Even as a resident early in his career, he was trusted to perform surgery on his professor.
Optometry
What is the difference between optometrists and ophthalmologists?
Ophthalmologists are eye surgeons who focus primarily on the medical and surgical care of the eyes. Optometrists are eye doctors who not only medically treat patients for most eye conditions, but also specialize in prescribing glasses and contact lenses.
How are the optometrists here different than my optometrist? At Del Pero Eye Center, optometrists work side by side with Dr. Del Pero for patient care. Our optometrists are also glaucoma-certified and have been trained to treat and manage patients with glaucoma. Essentially, your care here is under the care of many experienced and well-trained doctors.
I just need glasses. Great! We prescribe and fit glasses and contact lenses. See our Optical Shop for information on our frames, lens treatments and current sales!
My child needs an eye exam. Our optometrists are also trained to do eye exams for kids as young as 4.
Cosmetic - Dr. Del Pero performs functional and cosmetic ophthalmic plastic surgery, particularly in patients with blepharochalasis, or droopy eyelids. For more information on cosmetic surgeries, please contact us.
Glaucoma - Glaucoma is an eye disorder that damages the optic nerve and results in a loss of peripheral vision, and can progress to blindness if untreated. Most patients who develop glaucoma will never have any symptoms until the glaucoma is very advanced.
Can you detect if I have glaucoma? All patients who are seen here for complete eye exams will be screened for glaucoma. Dr. Del Pero, as well as our optometrists, are all experienced and trained to diagnose and manage glaucoma, which can be treated with prescription eye drops or surgical procedures.
Vision Insurance - We accept VSP, EyeMed, Superior Vision and CBA.
Will my medical insurance cover my eye exam? We do accept many medical insurances, and your medical insurance may cover your eye exam. Please contact us so we can check to see if this applies to you individually.
