Eyelid Surgery
The upper and lower eyelids help protect the eye in numerous ways. When you blink, your eyelids spread moisture over your eyes. Blinking also helps move dirt or other particles off the surface of the eye. Read More
Laser Surgery
We offer a number of different laser procedures including the treatment of secondary cataract, glaucoma, diabetic retinopathy and retinal tears. Read More
Lens Implants
During cataract surgery we replace the cloudy lens of the eye with an artificial lens implant, restoring your eye’s inherent potential for vision. This technology, called an intraocular lens implant (IOL) has been successfully used for over thirty years. Read More

Macular Degeneration
The macula is the most sensitive part of the retina and is made up of millions of light-sensing cells that provide sharp, central vision. Macular degeneration (also called AMD for age-related macular degeneration) is a common chronic eye disease and a leading cause of vision loss among people over the age of 50. Read More

Glasses are used to correct refractive errors and also restore the focusing ability lost with age. Siskiyou Eye Center takes pride in our service, selection and quality. Read More
Astigmatism
The cornea of a normal eye is round like a basketball. All light passing through the eye is refracted – or bent – equally, resulting in a clear image. Read More
Farsightedness
Farsightedness (hyperopia) is a common type of vision problem where distant objects are generally seen more clearly than objects that are near. Farsightedness occurs when the shape of the eye prevents incoming light from focusing on the retina. Read More
Nearsightedness
Nearsightedness (myopia) is a common type of vision problem where nearby objects are seen clearly, but distant objects appear blurry. Nearsightedness occurs when the shape of the eye prevents incoming light from focusing on the retina. Read More
Presbyopia
Presbyopia is a normal part of the aging process and typically starts in your 40s. Until we reach our 40s, the lens of the eye is soft and flexible, allowing the eye to focus on distant and near objects seamlessly and without effort. Read More
