The doctors at Karlik Ophthalmology have helped thousands of people enjoy better vision and preserve eye health.  Your doctor can tell by doing a comprehensive exam whether your blurred vision is due to the need for an updated eyeglass prescription, or whether it is due to an eye condition like cataracts, glaucoma, or retinal disease.

Leading the way with new medications and surgical procedures, Karlik Ophthalmology can treat a wide range of diseases and conditions.  Advances in technology have impacted all aspects of eyecare. Surgical procedures like cataract extraction that once required a hospital stay and lengthy recovery are now usually performed by our doctors on an outpatient basis, with most patients returning to their normal activities quickly.

We continually invest in state-of-the-art diagnostic and surgical instrumentation. Our doctors go through rigorous, ongoing training to ensure that we are doing everything we can to improve our patients' vision and quality of life. We are committed to providing the most advanced care available.

For your convenience, we have developed an overview of common eye conditions. Click on any of the conditions on this page to learn more about symptoms, causes and treatments.

We accept most major insurances.  Call us at 412-931-8101 with questions.
