Cataract Surgery
Cataract surgery restores clear vision by replacing clouded natural lenses with advanced intraocular implants. Our surgeons offer premium options like toric and multifocal lenses to reduce dependency on glasses. With over 20,000 procedures performed at Meredyth Surgery Center, we combine precision techniques with personalized pre- and post-operative care to ensure optimal visual outcomes for patients experiencing blurred vision, light sensitivity, or night vision difficulties.
Glaucoma Management
Our comprehensive glaucoma care includes early detection through OCT imaging and visual field testing. Treatment options range from medicated eye drops to minimally invasive surgeries like SLT laser therapy and MIGS procedures. We specialize in managing open-angle and angle-closure glaucoma, focusing on preserving optic nerve health and preventing vision loss through regular monitoring and tailored intervention plans.
Dry Eye Treatment
We address chronic dry eye through advanced diagnostics and customized therapies. Options include artificial tears, prescription anti-inflammatories, serum eye drops, and in-office procedures like amniotic membrane grafts. Our approach targets underlying causes such as meibomian gland dysfunction, providing relief for symptoms like irritation, redness, and fluctuating vision while improving long-term tear film stability.
Macular Degeneration
Our team monitors and manages age-related macular degeneration using OCT technology to track retinal changes. For dry AMD, we recommend nutritional supplements and lifestyle modifications, while wet AMD cases receive prompt referrals for anti-VEGF injections. We emphasize early detection to preserve central vision and provide low-vision resources to maintain quality of life for patients experiencing distorted or blurred vision.
Comprehensive Eye Exams
These exams assess overall eye health, detect refractive errors, and screen for diseases like diabetes-related retinopathy. Our doctors perform dilated fundus exams, visual acuity tests, and intraocular pressure measurements. We emphasize preventive care to catch conditions like glaucoma early, ensuring patients receive timely interventions while also updating prescriptions for glasses or contact lenses as needed.

Waited 3 months for an appointment and then was told the doctors reviewed my records and didn't want to see me because I wasn't a surgical candidate and their optomistrists were too busy! WOW

Report
WARNING: On my visit there in Feb., the billing lady (Tina) did NOT contact my insurance company but demanded that I pay them in full not the co-pays. Well, I paid them and they refuse to file my insurance and told me that I should. When I contacted the insurance company, we called Berg's (Tina) & she angrily filed my claim in March. When my insurance company paid them, I received 2 of my checks in April & the 3rd check has not appeared. Tina stopped taking my phone calls.she was at lunch, sick, leave a msg. Then, I was informed by the receptionist Sandy that I must wait a month (May) before they could issue me another check.
I contacted my insurance company and we discovered that Berg's Tina filed the claim WRONG. I was due more money and the claim had to be reprocessed. My issues have not been resolved.still waiting.
