This kind of regular preventive care is critical for preserving clear, healthy vision throughout your life.

Specialized Eye Care for Children
-
Whether your child is having trouble seeing well or is suffering from wandering eye, crossed eye, or lazy eye Drs. Cheung and Rice have a solution. They combine their years of specialized training with a friendly, caring nature that puts kids and parents at ease.
Dr. Cheung uses his surgical expertise to correct wandering eye, crossed eye and lazy eye in children ---- improving their vision and giving them a more confident outlook.
Many parents have also come to Drs. Cheung and Rice with infants and toddlers who are having developmental delays and school-aged children who are suspected of having learning disabilities. Often, the real source of these issues is a vision problem.
Drs. Cheung and Rice thoughtfully assesses each child in a way that is non-threatening...even fun. After the exam, kids can watch a DVD or play with toys while he or she discusses treatment options with the parents and addresses their questions and concerns. It's all part of their commitment to helping children of all ages experience life to the fullest with clear, healthy vision.
Our office is excited to announce Drs. Cheung and Rice are investigators for the NIH-funded Pediatric Eye Disease Investigators Group (PEDIG: public.pedig.jaeb.org). PEDIG is a network of over 60 offices of pediatric ophthalmologists and pediatric optometrists participating in clinical research on strabismus (wandering or crossed eye), ambylopia (lazy eye), and other eye disorders that affect children.

Cataract Surgery
-
A cataract is a cloudy area that occurs in the lens of the eye, causing a gradual loss of vision. Because cataracts are a normal part of aging, all men and women are at risk for them. In fact, about half of all Americans over age 60 have cataracts. Because Dr. Cheung performs hundreds of successful procedures per year, he brings exception skill to the process of cataract removal. He takes extreme care in assessing each patient and prides himself on his ability to achieve truly excellent results.
Cataract removal is a relatively simple outpatient procedure that Dr. Cheung performs using a gentle eye drop anesthetic --it requires no shots, no stitches and no hospital stay. Once the cataract is removed, Dr. Cheung implants a carefully selected state-of-the-art intraocular lens to restore your vision. As a result, even patients who have worn glasses most of their lives may no longer need them. Recovery time is minimal, and most patients resume their normal activities the very next day.

Vision Therapy
-
Vision Therapy is a type of physical therapy for the eyes and the brain. Dr. Rice tailors the program for each patient to enhance the child's ability to control eye movement, tracking and focusing abilities. Vision therapy can help many visual problems such as lazy eye, crossed eyes, double vision and tracking difficulties. In children with reading difficulties, it's important to rule out eye issues that can be a part of the problem.
