General Practitioners

Pediatric Care
The American Academy of Ophthalmology and the American Academy of Pediatrics both recommend that the first vision screening should be conducted for a newborn prior to being discharged from the hospital. Visual function will then continue to be monitored by your child’s pediatrician at well-child exams (usually at two, four, and six months of age). If there are any signs of an eye condition, your child may be referred to an eye doctor. At the age of three, regular screenings should then take place.

Emergency Care
If you injure your eye, you should seek immediate medical assistance from your eye doctor or go to an emergency room. This will help reduce the risk of any permanent damage.

Ophthalmologists

Glaucoma
For our glaucoma patients, Durysta is the first and only FDA-approved dissolvable ocular implant to reduce eye pressure in people with open angle glaucoma or high eye pressure (ocular hypertension). This is a milestone for the glaucoma community and provides a much-needed option for patients challenged with topical drops or needing alternative options.
Ophthalmology
A sensitive body part like your eyes need precise and sensitive care to ensure continued health. Dr. Edwin Schottenstein is committed to providing his patients with the expert eye care that they deserve with a compassionate approach. Dr. Schottenstein stays up to date with all of the most advanced ophthalmology procedures and technology to offer comprehensive ophthalmic treatment plans for even the most serious cases.
Macular Degeneration
Dry Age Related Macular Degeneration is the most common form of AMD, occurring in about 85-90% of patients that are diagnosed with AMD. As we age, the tissue around the macula, the part of our eye that is responsible for central vision, begins to thin and deteriorate. As the tissue breaks down, it deposits debris around the macula that form yellowish spots and distort your vision. It is through those yellowish spots that Dr. Schottenstein can diagnose dry AMD. Since Dry AMD is a very early stage of the disease, central vision loss can be very gradual.
Laser Eye Surgery
Through the optimization of the intraocular lenses (IOL), limbal relaxing incisions achieve vision correction. This eye procedure is typically less expensive than other vision correction surgeries, such as LASIK. Lastly, this procedure has a very quick recovery time and allows you to see results in as little as one day.
Cataracts
At Dr. Edwin M. Schottenstein’s, we strive to deliver comprehensive and compassionate eye care to all those in and around NYC, Chelsea, and the Upper West Side. We provide a wide range of eye treatments and procedures with the ultimate goal of getting you to see 20/20. There are many barriers to a person achieving perfect vision, one of these being cataracts. Cataracts can disrupt a person’s vision and make everyday activities much more difficult. In these circumstances, we’ll need to remove the patient’s natural lens.

Endocrinologist

Diabetes Care
Diabetic Retinopathy
It is important for individuals with diabetes to get their eyes checked regularly because diabetes can lead to retinal problems that can cause early blurred vision or blindness. Diabetic retinopathy is the leading cause of blindness for patients under the age of 65, however, if detected early, retinal problems can be diagnosed and treated. Diabetics should have an annual dilated retinal examination with Dr. Schottenstein.

We utilize a full range of the most advanced technologies, including digital photography, Optical Coherence Tomography, ultrasound technology, lifestyle intraocular lenses and Argon and Yag laser technology, just to name a few.

Plastic Surgeons

Botox
As a cosmetic procedure, there are few as well-known and proven techniques as BOTOX®. Botox is essentially a relaxer: when it is injected near a muscle group, it blocks certain electrical signals that cause the muscles to contract. As a result, the muscle relaxes and wrinkles in the skin smoothen out. This is especially effective for muscle groups around the eyes that cause “crow’s feet”, as well as between the eyes and on the forehead. Botox is simple, safe, fast and effective, especially when administered by a medical professional like Dr. Schottenstein. No sedation or anesthetic is required so you can resume your normal daily activities immediately after treatment, and results for Botox injections usually last for several months.
Brow Lift
Over time, gravity and natural forces can cause some drooping in the upper eyelid. When that happens, a brow lift is the best way to restore your eyes’ appearance. This helps maintain a more youthful look, and it also decreases creases and extra skin. There are two primary methods for brow lifts that patients choose from...
Blepharoplasty
Blepharoplasty is a cosmetic surgical procedure on the eyelids that can significantly improve the appearance of the upper or lower eyelid. Incisions are made either above the upper eyelid, below the lower eyelid or both, to allow for the surgeon to redistribute or remove fat deposits, tighten muscles and remove excess skin layers. These incisions are made in very deliberate areas so as to be concealed by the natural folds of the eyelids, and as a result, the incisions are barely noticeable or not noticeable at all. The results of the procedure are immediately noticeable. Recovery after the procedure rarely involves more than some slight swelling and bruising, dry eyes, and minor discomfort.
Cosmetic Surgery
This procedure is a cosmetic surgery that can improve the appearance of both the upper and lower eyelid. An incision is made, either above the upper eyelid, below the lower one, or both. The surgeon is then able to insert and remove fat deposits, tighten muscles, and make other adjustments that help patients achieve a rejuvenated appearance and smoother, more youthful eyelids. The recovery time is minimal, and incisions are made in places where they will be hidden by natural folds in the skin.
