Serving Huntington Residents

Serving patients in Ashland, Huntington and the surrounding communities for over 50 years, the eye care specialists at Tri-State Ophthalmology offer a wide range of comprehensive eye care services.

Services Include

Cataract Surgery

Cataracts cause a clouding of the eye’s natural lens, resulting in cloudy or blurry vision. Cataract surgery is a safe, relatively simple, and painless procedure. It’s the most frequently performed surgery in the U.S., designed to restore clear, lifelong vision.

LASIK Eye Surgery

LASIK is a quick, painless procedure that reshapes the cornea to correct common refractive errors, including nearsightedness, farsightedness, and astigmatism. It is proven safe and effective, offering fast recovery and long-lasting results for those seeking an alternative to glasses or contacts.

Dry Eye

Dry Eye Syndrome occurs when tears fail to provide adequate moisture, leading to inflammation and uncomfortable symptoms such as stinging, burning, and itching. We offer various treatments to manage your symptoms and restore comfort.

Diabetic Eye Disease

This refers to a group of eye problems, including diabetic retinopathy, that can affect people with diabetes. Diabetic Retinopathy involves damage to the retina’s blood vessels, which can leak fluid or grow abnormally, potentially leading to severe vision loss. Annual dilated eye exams are essential for early detection and timely treatment.

Macular Degeneration

Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) is the leading cause of central vision loss for Americans over 65. It damages the macula—the part of the retina needed for sharp, straight-ahead vision. Treatments are available, including nutritional support and advanced therapies, to help delay its progression.

Flashes and Floaters

Floaters are small specks or clouds that appear to drift across your vision, caused by shadows cast by clumps in the clear gel (vitreous) inside your eye. Flashes are streaks of light that occur when the vitreous gel pulls on the retina. A sudden increase in flashes or new floaters is a serious warning sign and requires immediate examination to rule out a retinal tear or detachment.

Glaucoma

Often called the “silent thief of sight,” Glaucoma is the second-leading cause of blindness in the U.S. It typically produces no symptoms until irreversible vision loss occurs due to damage to the optic nerve, often associated with high fluid pressure inside the eye. Diagnosis and management focus on controlling eye pressure through medication, lasers, or surgery.
