Cataract patients now have an option to see at both near and far distances after cataract surgery! Individuals suffering from cataracts previously had only a mono-focal lens implant option after surgery. NEW multi-focal, accommodating and astigmatic correction IOL technology can now decrease dependence on glasses after surgery. These include the AcrySof® ReSTOR® IOL, TECNIS® Multifocal IOL, and the AcrySof® Toric IOL. If you are seeking one of these options, please feel free to consult our staff.

Adult Eye Muscle Disorders
Eye Physicians of Central Florida has four fellowship-trained ophthalmologists who specialize in treating adult eye muscle disorders like strabismus (misalignment of the eyes):
Robert S. Gold, M.D., F.A.A.P.
Louis C. Blumenfeld, M.D., F.A.A.P.
Jamie L. Ikeda, M.D.
Robert W. Hered, M.D., F.A.A.P.
With strabismus, the eyes are misaligned and point in different directions. Most adults with strabismus have had it since childhood. However, it can occur in adults with no childhood history of the condition in which case our physicians carefully evaluate the patient for other medical or neurological causes such as:
- Diabetes
- Thyroid disease
- Brain Tumors
- Strokes
- Head Trauma
Our team of specialists provides a full range of treatment options for adult strabismus using the latest medical techniques and advances, including:
- Eye exercises
- Prism glasses
- Botox injections
- Surgery
