Our Pleasant Hill clinic offers an array of eye care services. Our specialists are highly trained in areas including:

• Cataract: Cataracts cause cloudiness in the lens of your eye, making your vision blurry and even less colorful over time. Cataracts can be monitored over time by your routine eye doctor and when they become bothersome you will likely need to visit Wolfe Eye Clinic for a cataract evaluation by our cataract surgeons. Learn more about the early signs of cataracts and their treatment options here.

• Glaucoma: Glaucoma includes a group of conditions, all of which damage the optic nerve. It is a leading cause of blindness for older individuals but can occur at any age. For glaucoma treatment and more information, contact our specialists in Pleasant Hill, Iowa.
• Corneal disease: If you begin to experience eye pain, blurry vision, red eyes, watery eyes, or sensitivity to light, ask your eye doctor if you may have a corneal disease or should be screened for one. The cornea is essential to good eyesight, and the cornea specialists at Wolfe Eye Clinic in Pleasant Hill can help.

Retina Surgery near Pleasant Hill

Wolfe Eye Clinic’s retina care specialists perform consultations in Pleasant Hill to determine if you need a retina surgery such as a vitrectomy, retinal cryopexy or scleral buckle. Once evaluated, our surgeries can be performed just on the other side of Des Moines at our state-of-the-art Wolfe Surgery Center. Each retina surgery is used for different purposes and some for specific retinal conditions:

• Vitrectomy: Your retina care specialist may use this procedure if better access is necessary to reach the retina. The procedure involves removing the vitreous gel in the center of the eye to clear the path to the retina or back of the eye. A vitrectomy may also be performed in the case of a vitreous hemorrhage. To learn more about the vitrectomy procedure, contact a retina care specialist at Wolfe Eye Clinic or request an appointment give us a call at (833) 474-5850.
• Retinal Cryopexy: Also referred to as retinal cryotherapy, this treatment option uses intense cold to induce a scar to destroy retinal or choroidal tissue. It is used for a variety of retinal conditions such as retinal tears or detachments.
• Scleral Buckle: This procedure is most commonly used to treat retinal detachment. A scleral buckle is sewn to the outside of the eye to allow the retinal tear to settle against the wall of the eye. It’s typically a temporary fix that requires cryopexy or laser treatment to permanently prevent the retinal tear from reopening.

Please contact Wolfe Eye Clinic at (833) 474-5850 to ask any questions about retina surgery options or to schedule an appointment with one of our retina care specialists.
