Eye Surgery and Neurological Diseases

Dr. Weiss has guided many patients over the years to successful Lasik, PRK, and Cataract Surgery by collaborating with the best surgeons in the area. She can determine if you are a candidate and discuss the latest technology and which procedure is best for you.

Vision and Neurological Diseases

When a disease impacts the brain, it can interfere with vision. Dr. Weiss has helped numerous patients who previously struggled with vision problems resulting from diseases such as Parkinson’s and Multiple Sclerosis (MS). Additionally, undiagnosed neurological problems that result in muscle palsy can often be treated with special prism or vision therapy.

Understanding Eye Muscles and Vision Problems

Our eyes are controlled by 12 muscles (6 per eye), and the images we see travel to the brain for processing. Vision problems can arise when these muscles are not functioning correctly or when the brain fails to process visual information accurately.

Post-Surgery Vision Coordination Problems

Eye coordination problems can occur after surgeries such as Cataract, LASIK, and Retinal Detachment surgery. Depending on the severity of the problem, Dr. Weiss can provide special lenses (such as Fresnel prism) and/or neuro-optometric vision rehabilitation to help improve your vision.
