Refractive Lens Exchange Surgery and Treatments
Some people may not be good candidates for a LASIK procedure, and that’s okay. You could still be the right candidate for refractive surgery. Similar to a LASIK eye surgery, a refractive lens exchange reduces your corrective lens dependence. Our ophthalmologists in Kalamazoo, MI can replace your natural eye lens with an IOL to sharpen your eyesight. Best of all, the ophthalmologists at Specialty Eye Insititute are skilled enough to perform a tunneling incision during this procedure. That means no stitches will be needed for an even faster recovery period. Get back to your everyday activities as soon as the day after your appointment. Discover more about how refractive treatment can benefit you by contacting our eye care clinic at (877) 852-8463.
Visian ICL Eye Surgery and Treatments
One form of refractive IOLs that our eye doctors and ophthalmologists in Kalamazoo are highly experienced in is Visian ICLs, capable of correcting nearsightedness and astigmatism. It can improve your eyesight to minimize your corrective lens reliance, without removing corneal tissue. If you change your mind: the Visian ICL is removable. The surgery will take around 20 to 30 minutes for our staff of ophthalmologists to perform. Great for night vision, UV protection, and more, learn about additional benefits for Visian ICL eye surgery and other treatments at (877) 852-8463.

Types of Diabetic Retinopathy
The retina specialists at Specialty Eye Institute are capable of treating both types of diabetic retinopathy.
Early Diabetic Retinopathy
Early or nonproliferative diabetic retinopathy occurs when blood vessel walls atrophy and form bulges. These small bulges may leak fluids into the retina and negatively affect the vessels there too. If enough fluid builds up in the center of the retina, you could be at risk for permanent vision loss without treatment.
Advanced Diabetic Retinopathy
In the more advanced form of (proliferative) diabetic retinopathy, blood vessel damage spurs the formation of new, irregular blood vessels in the retina. Being weaker, these may start leaking into your vitreous. The scar tissue associated with the blood vessel growth can cause retinal detachment. Our staff of ophthalmologists in Kalamazoo, MI will perform a diagnosis for excess fluid blockage and internal eye pressure build-up to prevent or stop optic nerve damage (glaucoma).
