A specialist in the medical and surgical treatment of all eye disorders, Dr. Levin has treated hundreds of patients for cataracts and glaucoma, functional eyelid and eye muscle disorders, and various other conditions. When patients require surgery - either conventional, laser or ultrasound - it is performed at the Saint Vincent Surgery Center. In almost all cases, patients are able to return home within a few hours of undergoing treatment.

Glaucoma is an eye disease that slowly deteriorates the optic nerve resulting in vision loss. The main determining factor for glaucoma is elevated eye pressure. SLT (Selective Laser Trabeculoplasty) is a safe and simple 5 minute in-office laser treatment that effectively reduces the pressure in the eye for most patients with glaucoma. SLT can reduce or eliminate medications typically used to treat the disease.

A cataract is a clouding of the natural lens inside your eye which can cause blurred vision, bright colors becoming dull or increased difficulty seeing at night. It is not a "film" over the eye. The best way to treat a cataract is to remove the old, clouded lens and replace it with an artificial lens. The AcrySof® ReSTOR® intraocular lens (IOL) can allow you to see clearly at all distances - and free you from glasses.
