"We barely go to optometrists so when we do, we should look for the best! I am super pleased I chose Dr. Pal\'s office. They were helpful from beginning to end, from booking on the phone to my actual visit. Dr. Pal was very detailed and went in-depth about my eye health. She is very patient and made me feel calm. The optician helped me pick a great pair of glasses, they were genuinely friendly which is a huge bonus."

"I have been going to Dr. Pal for several years now. My most recent visit on June 6, 2016 was the best experience there that I have ever had. Firstly, the women on the desk were friendly and efficient - a very good prelude to my examination. Dr. Pal, herself, was, as usual, very thorough and encouraging in her examination. And she puts you at ease before we get into the eyes examination by discussing other things in life. That helps to ease any stress I may have. And they now have a man in the office who does that difficult examination (name of which I do not know!). He is so patient and encouraging and made the exam not so difficult for me this time. After all that, I saw Dr. Pal again before I left and she told me my eyes were good! Even had the news been not so good, I believe that I would be able to handle it because I truly believe that Dr. Pal and her staff would have taken good care of me. I will always go back to Dr. Pal and members of her team because I truly believe"

" I have been to a few appointments at Dr. Pal\'s office over the last year for dry eye issues and every time it has been a very positive experience. The 3 receptionists at the front desk are warm and friendly. They are attentive and provide a very high level of customer service. I appreciate that they call me by name and remembered conversations we had at previous visits. I find Dr. Pal to be an excellent practitioner who is very thorough with her exams, has a lovely personality and takes the time to answer any and all questions that may arise. I am happy with the computer glasses I purchased and value the honest opinions I received from the staff when selecting frames. It was refreshing to have multiple opinions on styles and I felt they truly wanted me to walk out with a frame that was best suited to me. I highly recommend Dr. Pal \'s office! As a health care practitioner myself, I think all health care experiences should be this personilzed and friendly!"

Headaches can strike at anyone, at any age, at any time. They are quite common; in fact, they are the most commonly cited reason for visiting a physician. Headaches are not only painful, they are the leading cause for absence for work or school, and contribute significantly to lost productivity.

Most people equate the eye disease called glaucoma with high eye pressure. It is important to understand that glaucoma is not simply a disease of high intra-ocular pressure, but rather, a more complex disease of the optic nerve. In the early stages of glaucoma there are no symptoms and understandably any condition that lacks symptoms has great potential risk. In glaucoma the vision conductive rim of the optic nerve, called the nerve-fiber layer, is gradually damaged resulting in a le...
Introduction
Glaucoma is an eye disease most commonly characterized by increased pressure within the eye, known as intraocular pressure (IOP). While increased pressure is one important clinical sign, glaucoma is more complex than a simple measure of pressure.
Instead, it is helpful to consider glaucoma as a disease affecting the optic nerve and all the individual retinal nerve fibers that comprise it.
In the early stages, glaucoma has no symptoms and often goes undiagnosed and untrea...
"Herpes Simplex (HS) Keratitis" is an infection affecting the front of the "cornea", the dome-shaped structure at the front of the eye. The infective agent is "Herpes Simplex Virus (HSV)", which is the same virus that causes cold sores and fever blisters in and around the mouth and nose. It has been estimated that 85% to 95% of the adult population harbors the virus, although it usually lies dormant in a nerve that supplies the eye and skin.
HS Keratitis can be activated or triggered by a...
High blood pressure, known medically as hypertension, can cause many different complications in the body, including changes in the circulation within the eye. Hypertension is often called “the silent killer” because there are usually no outward signs or symptoms that would alert an individual to its presence.
The pressure within the blood vessels must be enough that all bodily tissues have uncompromised circulation. However, when blood pressure becomes too high...

Cool rays of light from the Excimer Laser reshapes the inner tissue of the cornea with up to .25 microns of accuracy. In order for light to focus more clearly on the retina the outer window of the eye and the cornea must be of the proper curvature.
After your eye has been numbed with "eye drop" anesthesia an eyelid speculum will be positioned to hold your eyelids open. The microkeratome is used to create a protective flap that is folded back.

The medical term for farsightedness or longsightedness is "hyperopia". "Hypermetropia", an older term, is not used much today.
Hyperopia (hi-per-OH-pee-uh) is a common condition that affects about ten percent of the adult population, worldwide. Interestingly, the percentage of the global population with hyperopia is decreasing overall, because myopia (nearsightedness) is increasing as education increases, along with the amount of reading and computer use.
Hyperopia causes difficulty in fo...
