Ophthalmologists

Glaucoma
Some people are at higher risk for glaucoma, such as those with a family history of vision loss from glaucoma, people with a history of trauma to the eye (even as long as 20 years prior), or those taking certain medications, such as prednisolone (cortisone). People at higher risk should certainly be screened at least yearly.
Ophthalmology
Asa Morton, M.D. completed his internship and ophthalmology residency training at the Naval Medical Center San Diego, during which he was selected as the Intern of the Year. Upon completion of his residency Asa Morton, M.D. was assigned to the Naval Hospital Roosevelt Roads, Puerto Rico, where he ran the Ophthalmology Department. Selected for the highly competitive University of Michigan program (Go Blue), Asa Morton, M.D. spent 2 years studying and operating with innovators in the field of Reconstructive and Aesthetic Surgery of the eyelids, forehead, face, orbits and lacrimal system.
Macular Degeneration
Macular Degeneration is the damage or breakdown of the macula of the eye. The macula is the small area of the retina at the back of the eye that allows us to see fine details clearly. Macular Degeneration makes close work, like threading a needle or reading fine print, difficult or impossible.
Laser Eye Surgery
If you have a refractive error but want the freedom and convenience of a glasses-free lifestyle, LASIK may be a good option for you. The laser eye surgery corrects the refractive errors that cause nearsightedness, farsightedness or astigmatism. It takes approximately15 minutes to perform, with minimal discomfort, a short recovery and rapid results.
Cataracts
Aging affects nearly every part of the body, including the eyes. One of the most common age-related vision conditions is cataracts, or a clouding of the eye’s crystalline lenses.
Cataract Surgery
Breakthrough cataract surgery technology enables our surgeons to remove cataracts with greater precision, customization and accuracy than ever before. We use the state-of-the-art LenSx femtosecond laser platform, which has helped our surgeons improve cataract surgery outcomes.
Eye Exam
Prior to treatment, you will undergo a routine eye exam and your corneal thickness will be measured. Your eyes will be completely numbed to prevent discomfort or pain during the procedure.

Internal Medicine

Endocrinologist

Diabetes Care
Diabetic Retinopathy
We will also take the opportunity to inspect the structures of your eye like your lids, cornea lens, retina and optic nerve. Dilating eyedrops will be used to enlarge your pupils so we can get a better view inside your eyes. We use a microscope called a slit lamp to look inside your eyes for any potential signs of a problem. The slit lamp portion of the exam can help us detect abnormalities or changes caused by problems like diabetic retinopathy and macular degeneration.

Ultrasound
Once we have gained access to the lens, we use laser energy to gently soften and break up the cloudy lens. Ultrasound energy can lead to heat buildup in the incision, which can raise the risk of complications or subpar visual outcomes. But using the laser to soften and break up the lens into smaller pieces requires less energy, so there is less risk of burning, corneal swelling and other complications.

General Surgery
Neil T. Choplin, M.D., is a graduate of New York University, with a bachelor’s degree in mathematics. He received his medical degree from New York Medical College, attending on an Armed Forces Health Professional scholarship. Upon graduation he served a general surgery internship at Long Island Jewish Hillside Medical Center and completed his residency in ophthalmology at Nassau County Medical Center in New York.

Ulcer
A corneal ulcer is an open sore on the cornea that can result from an untreated injury to the cornea. If you wear contact lenses, you are at a slightly higher risk of corneal ulcers if you wear your lenses for many hours or overnight. Other risk factors include bacterial and viral infections.
