Ophthalmologists

Glaucoma
Glaucoma is a group of eye diseases that gradually steal sight without warning. In the early stages of the disease, there may be no symptoms. Vision loss is caused by damage to the optic nerve. There is no cure for glaucoma. However, medication, laser or surgery can slow or prevent further vision loss. The appropriate treatment depends upon the type of glaucoma among other factors. Early detection is vital to stopping the progress of the disease.It was once thought that high pressure within the eye, also known as intraocular pressure or IOP, is the main cause of this optic nerve damage. Although IOP is clearly a risk factor, we now know that other factors must also be involved because even people with “normal” levels of pressure can experience vision loss from glaucoma.
Macular Degeneration
Macular degeneration is caused by the deterioration of the central portion of the retina, the inside back layer of the eye that records the images we see and sends them via the optic nerve from the eye to the brain. The retina’s central portion, known as the macula, is responsible for capturing the central vision in the eye It controls our ability to read, drive a car, recognize faces or colors, and see objects in fine detail.
Laser Eye Surgery
Laser surgery is used to reshape the front surface of the eye and eliminate the need for glasses and contacts. Drs. Gilman & Vorster are affiliates of TLC Laser Eye Centers and co-manage laser surgery patients with the surgeon, Dr. Tooma. They can determine if you are a potential LASIK candid
Cataracts
A cataract is a clouding of the eye’s natural lens, which lies behind the iris and the pupil. The lens works much like a camera lens, focusing light onto the retina at the back of the eye. The lens also adjusts the eye’s focus, letting us see things clearly both up close and far away. Although most common in the elderly, cataracts can affect young children, with disastrous consequences

Diabetes Care
Diabetic Retinopathy
Diabetic retinopathy is a complication of diabetes and a leading cause of blindness. It occurs when diabetes damages the tiny blood vessels inside the retina, the light-sensitive tissue at the back of the eye. A healthy retina is necessary for good vision.

Skin Cancer
Choroidal melanoma is a primary cancer of the eye. It arises from the pigmented cells of the choroid of the eye and is not a tumor that started somewhere else and spread to the eye. Malignant means that the tumor is a cancer which may metastasize, that is, spread to other parts of the body. Although some choroidal melanomas are more life-threatening than others, almost all should be treated as if they were malignant.

Allergies
Dr. Jennifer Gilman was born and raised in Southern California. She earned her Bachelor of Science Degree in Biology at Santa Clara University in the Bay Area. After graduating, Dr. Gilman spent two years working as a research assistant in the Division of Cell Biology at the La Jolla Institute for Allergy and Immunology during which time she co-authored numerous articles in The Journal of Biological Chemistry and the European Journal of Biochemistry.
