Precision For Your Vision
At Benaim Eye & Aesthetics, we offer advanced eye care services to keep your vision sharp and healthy. With over 25 years of experience, Dr. Monroe Benaim provides thorough eye exams, precise diagnostics and personalized treatments. From routine check-ups to managing complex eye conditions, we use the latest technology to ensure optimal eye health and clarity, so you can see the world clearly and comfortably.
Cataracts develop when the natural lens in your eye becomes cloudy, causing blurred vision and increased sensitivity to glare. Dr. Benaim specializes in state-of-the-art cataract surgery, utilizing the latest techniques and premium lens options to restore clear vision. Our advanced procedures offer quick recovery times with exceptional results, allowing you to return to your daily activities with improved vision clarity and quality.
Refractive Lens Exchange (RLE) is an excellent alternative to LASIK for patients with presbyopia or extreme farsightedness. This procedure replaces your eye’s natural lens with an advanced artificial lens to correct your vision at multiple distances. Dr. Benaim carefully selects from premium lens options tailored to your specific visual needs, potentially eliminating your dependence on reading glasses or bifocals for years to come.
Chronic dry eye syndrome can cause irritation, burning, and vision fluctuations that impact your daily comfort and activities. Our comprehensive dry eye treatment protocols address the root causes of your symptoms, not just temporary relief. We use advanced diagnostic technology to identify the causes of dry eye and offer customized treatment plans that may include prescription medications, in-office procedures, or lifestyle modifications to restore your eye’s natural moisture balance.
Our specialized eyelid procedures address both medical and cosmetic concerns, including drooping eyelids that impair vision, excess skin, or puffiness. Dr. Benaim’s meticulous surgical techniques can improve your visual field while creating a more refreshed, youthful appearance. We carefully evaluate each patient’s unique facial structure to ensure natural-looking results with minimal downtime and improved eyelid function.
As a leading cause of blindness, glaucoma requires expert management to preserve your vision. Our practice uses comprehensive testing and monitoring technology to detect glaucoma in its earliest stages when treatment is most effective. Dr. Benaim offers personalized treatment options, all designed to reduce intraocular pressure and protect your optic nerve from further damage.
Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) affects central vision and can significantly impact your ability to read, drive, and recognize faces. Our practice utilizes advanced imaging technology to detect early signs of AMD before symptoms appear. We provide the latest evidence-based treatments, including specialized vitamin supplements, injectable medications, and lifestyle counseling to slow progression and preserve your remaining vision quality.
Diabetes can cause serious vision-threatening complications if not properly monitored and managed. Our specialized diabetic eye care includes detailed retinal examinations to detect early signs of diabetic retinopathy and macular edema. Dr. Benaim works closely with your primary care physician to coordinate comprehensive care, offering timely interventions such as laser treatments or injections when necessary to protect your vision from diabetes-related damage.
The retina is essential for transmitting visual information to your brain, making retinal health crucial for good vision. Our practice provides expert diagnosis and management of various retinal conditions, including retinal tears, detachments, and vascular disorders. Using advanced imaging technology, we can detect subtle retinal changes early, allowing for prompt treatment interventions that can prevent permanent vision loss and preserve your sight.
A pterygium is a growth of tissue on the eye’s surface that can cause irritation, redness, and eventually affect vision if it grows over the cornea. Dr. Benaim offers advanced surgical techniques for pterygium removal that minimize recurrence rates while providing excellent cosmetic results. Our comprehensive approach includes addressing underlying causes such as UV exposure and implementing preventative measures to protect your eyes after treatment.
Fuchs’ dystrophy is a progressive condition affecting the cornea’s innermost layer, causing swelling and cloudy vision. Dr. Benaim’s expertise in this condition ensures you receive the most appropriate treatment at each stage of this disease.
Keratoconus causes thinning and bulging of the cornea, resulting in distorted vision that cannot be fully corrected with glasses. We offer comprehensive keratoconus management for those with keratoconus. Early diagnosis through our advanced corneal mapping technology allows us to intervene promptly and preserve your best possible vision.
Astigmatism occurs when your cornea or lens has an irregular shape, causing blurred or distorted vision at all distances. Our practice offers multiple solutions for astigmatism correction, including specialized glasses, toric contact lenses, and surgical options like toric lens implants during cataract surgery or lens exchange. Dr. Benaim carefully evaluates your specific astigmatism pattern to recommend the most effective treatment for your lifestyle and visual needs.
Our thorough eye examinations go beyond simple vision checks to evaluate your complete eye health. Using state-of-the-art diagnostic equipment, we assess visual acuity, eye muscle function, peripheral vision and examine the internal structures of your eyes. These comprehensive exams allow us to detect early signs of eye diseases or vision problems before symptoms appear, enabling proactive treatment that preserves your vision for years to come.
Most eye care professionals recommend a comprehensive eye exam every 1-2 years, depending on your age, risk factors, and existing vision conditions. Adults over 40 should have yearly exams to monitor for age-related conditions, while those with diabetes, high blood pressure, or a family history of eye disease may need more frequent evaluations.
Pay attention to changes in your vision such as blurriness, double vision, difficulty seeing at night, flashes of light, new floaters, or eye pain. Other warning signs include frequent headaches, eye strain, redness, itching, or swelling around the eyes. If you experience sudden vision loss, severe eye pain, or notice a sudden increase in floaters, seek immediate medical attention as these could indicate serious conditions requiring urgent care.
While digital screens don’t cause permanent damage to your eyes, extended screen time can lead to digital eye strain, which can cause dry eyes, headaches, blurred vision, and neck pain. We recommend following the 20-20-20 rule: Every 20 minutes, look at something 20 feet away for at least 20 seconds. Consider using artificial tears for dryness, adjusting screen brightness and position, and using blue light filtering glasses if you spend significant time on digital devices.
An optometrist (OD) is a primary eye care provider trained to examine eyes for vision and health problems, prescribe glasses and contact lenses, and treat certain eye conditions with medications. An ophthalmologist (MD or DO) is a medical doctor who specializes in eye and vision care, can prescribe medications, perform eye surgery, and treat all eye conditions. Dr. Benaim is a board-certified ophthalmologist with specialized training in surgical procedures and comprehensive eye disease management.
Maintaining healthy eyes involves several key practices: schedule regular comprehensive eye exams, protect your eyes from UV exposure with quality sunglasses, eat a balanced diet rich in omega-3 fatty acids and antioxidants, avoid smoking, take regular breaks during screen time, and wear appropriate eye protection during sports or hazardous activities. These proactive steps can significantly reduce your risk of developing serious eye conditions.
