Dry Eye

You may be suffering from dry eyes if you are experiencing discomfort, light sensitivity, irritation, redness, blurry vision, or excessive tearing.  Environmental factors, side effects from certain medications, contact lens wear, diseases, and/or structural problems of the eye can all contribute to dry eye.  Since there are many different treatments for dry eye, Dr. Ciobanu will perform specifics tests to determine the extent of your dry eyes and to provide you with the proper treatment based on the results of her findings.

OPTOS Retinal Imaging

The Optos Daytona is an innovative new imaging system that eliminates the need for dilating your eyes during an eye exam.

What Is It?
The Optos Daytona is the desk-top sized model of Optos’ Optomap imaging devices. The Optos Daytona is perfectly sized and ergonomically designed for patient comfort, but that isn’t what makes it so special. What makes the Daytona unique is the patented Ultra-Wide field digital laser scanning technology. That technology allows the Optomap system to take detailed 200° images of the eye. Traditional methods only capture images of 45° or less.

What does it do?
This amazing device allows your eye doctor to see retinal, optic nerve and vascular structures not visible through regular exam methods. The Optos Daytona uses lasers to provide a high resolution scan meant to pick up early signs of structural change or disease. This allows your eye doctor to see changes in the retina and optic nerve with greater accuracy. Given the much higher resolution, it becomes easier to make early and accurate detection of common sight threatening eye conditions such as retinal detachment, glaucoma, macular degeneration, diabetes, ocular cancers and high blood pressure.

My Interaction with Optos?
The high resolution images produced by the Optomap, are quick and painless to capture. The images will be reviewed with your doctor immediately after the photographs are taken. After reviewing your eye health, the photos will be stored for future reference, enabling your doctor to monitor any disease progression.

LASIK Consultation

Are you tired of the hassle of contacts and glasses?  Dr. Ciobanu offers LASIK consultations to determine if you are a good candidate for this safe and quick procedure.  During your consultation, Dr. Ciobanu will use state-of-the art technology to check the overall health of your eyes, including your corneal curvature, eye pressure, and retinas.  LASIK is used to correct nearsightedness, farsightedness, and astigmatism.  The procedure takes about 15 minutes and is performed by the top eye surgeons in southern California.

Eye Disease Diagnosis

There are many eye diseases that do not show any symptoms and are painless.  They include, but are not limited to, cataracts, macular degeneration and glaucoma.  These types of eye conditions affect millions of people and if left undetected, may lead to severe vision loss or even blindness.  Dr. Ciobanu will be able to assess your eyes and educate you about the importance of vision loss prevention.  She will also provide and/or refer you for treatment.
