Preserving the ability to read and recognize faces is the primary goal for patients living with Stargardt’s Disease. Dr. Alexandra Robertson utilizes high-power optics and specialized prisms to maximize the remaining vision for those navigating this genetic condition. Living with juvenile macular degeneration requires a shift in how a patient interacts with light. Stargardt’s disease typically results in a […]
The spring season in coastal North Carolina brings a surge of pollen that often masks underlying ocular surface disease. Dr. Casey Krug and the Paul Vision Institute team provide differential regular diagnoses to ensure patients receive the correct treatment for chronic dryness and irritation. Distinguishing between allergic conjunctivitis and meibomian gland dysfunction is essential for effective relief during an […]
Early detection remains the only defense against the silent progression of glaucoma. Dr. Pankti Patel and the clinical team at Paul Vision Institute utilize ultra-widefield imaging to map the health of the optic nerve with surgical precision. Protecting your sight from the silent thief of vision requires more than a simple pressure check. Glaucoma often damages the retinal nerve fiber […]
The expert team at Paul Vision Institute utilizes specialized optics to restore mobility for patients with central vision loss. Dr. Edward Paul, a Fellow of the International Academy of Low Vision Specialists, combines clinical precision with personal advocacy to help North Carolina residents meet state driving requirements. Navigating the busy intersections of Military Cutoff Road […]
Myopia, or nearsightedness, is more than just a need for glasses; it is a progressive condition where the eye grows too long, increasing the risk of retinal detachment and glaucoma later in life. At Paul Vision Institute, we utilize Orthokeratology (Ortho-K) to slow this progression in children and teenagers. By using specialized lenses overnight to […]
Age-Related Macular Degeneration (AMD) is a leading cause of vision loss, particularly the “dry” form, in which cellular debris (drusen) accumulates under the retina. Until recently, treatments for dry AMD were limited to nutritional supplements. Today, Paul Vision Institute offers Photobiomodulation (PBM) using the Valeda® Light Delivery System. This FDA-cleared technology uses specific wavelengths of […]
For patients with advanced Keratoconus, traditional contact lenses and even standard scleral lenses can sometimes fail to provide a stable, comfortable fit due to extreme corneal irregularities. At Paul Vision Institute, we utilize EyePrintPRO™, a prosthetic scleral cover shell designed from a precise 3D impression of the ocular surface. This technology allows us to map […]
Dry Eye Syndrome is often a complex inflammatory condition caused by Meibomian Gland Dysfunction (MGD), in which the oil-producing glands in the eyelids become clogged. At Paul Vision Institute, we use a dual-light therapy protocol that combines Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) and Low-Level Light Therapy (LLLT). This combined approach targets both the underlying inflammation and […]
More than 21 million Americans experience age-related macular degeneration (AMD), and up to now, treatment options have been limited to slowing the progression of the disease and helping patients adapt to the loss of central vision that comes with it. Here at , our Wilmington, NC eye doctors are excited to offer our patients photobiomodulation treatment for […]
Low vision is a term used when visual impairment can’t be fully corrected with standard glasses, contact lenses, medication, or surgery. Because the causes of low vision in Wilmington, NCvary widely, whether it can be reversed depends on what’s driving the vision loss and how early it’s identified. Understanding What Causes Low Vision Low vision […]
