Testimonials
Dear Dr. Soroudi, I have been suffering from droopy eyelids and puffy bags under my eyes for years. So many people asked me if I was angry or depressed or if I hadn't had much sleep, but I was fine; it was just the way I looked.

Book an appointment with your Beverly Hills ophthalmologist
Booking an appointment with your Beverly Hills ophthalmologist should be a regular yearly event, as it’s important to get your eyes are thoroughly checked by a specialist just to ensure you are not exhibiting any early signs of other diseases. As with any type of illness, catching it early is the best way for successful treatment. From the moment you walk through the door to see your ophthalmologist you should feel reassured by friendly staff whose aim is to make you feel comfortable and at ease. A full consultation is likely to take around 45 minutes or so, and this is necessary so that your doctor can get your full medical history so that the best and safest treatment can be chosen for you. This is because many medications can cause problems with eyes and these include oral contraceptives, antihistamines and antidepressants. There are also a large range of eye disorders that can feel unpleasant but are easily treated. These can include allergic conjunctivitis which can be triggered by something as simple as plant pollen or dust mites. The symptoms may be easily alleviated by the use of drops and a lot of allergic conjunctivitis is seasonal.
Some eye problems can be related to other diseases, and iritis is an inflammation of the eye which causes light sensitivity and soreness. Anyone suffering from this on a regular basis may need to be checked for other diseases. Diabetics have to take especially good care of their eyes as this disease can cause vascular changes. Anyone with diabetes must have their eyes checked at least once a year to ensure they get early treatment for any problems. One of the leading causes of vision loss amongst older people is macular degeneration and is caused by changes to part of the retina which is responsible for clear images. People suffering from this may experience a gradual loss of ability to see clearly and vision may appear distorted, so anyone experiencing these types of symptoms should see their Beverly Hills ophthalmologist as soon as possible.
Your Beverly Hills ophthalmologist can also diagnose common problems such as dry eye where eyes are unable to produce sufficient tears to lubricate them. This can be a side effect of ageing or it may be as a result of environmental factors or medications and if left untreated can cause damage to the cornea. Treatment can involve using a moisturizing treatment or an artificial tear solution or even increasing the level of humidity at your home or work. It very rarely requires surgery however most ophthalmologists will also perform surgery when necessary, and this especially includes treatment for cataracts. Cataract surgery is very common and can be completed under local anesthetic as a day patient. It’s highly likely that your Beverly Hills ophthalmologists will have one or two fields of specialty, and most will perform laser vision correction surgery. Though there are many diseases of the eye most people visiting their Beverly Hills ophthalmologist will receive a clean bill of health and will not need to return for another year.
