Services
Scott & Christie Eyecare Associates is an extension of the ophthalmology practice of the late Dorothy Christie Scott, MD. Dr. Scott was a pioneer in the field, becoming one of only a few female ophthalmologists in the Pittsburgh area when she began her practice in 1958. We currently offer services at offices located in Fox Chapel and Cranberry Township.
Our offices are open for our patients; our offices are accessible, comfortable and convenient. In today's health care market, having access to care and building patient/doctor relationships is important. Being an independent practice, and not health system owned practice, we provide our patients with customized health care to meet their needs and the needs of their family.
Each day, your eyes act like a camera, using the lens to bring into focus the various images and words you see. A cataract develops when the clear lens of your eye gradually becomes cloudy, which can make your vision blurry and produce an increase in glare. While researchers have yet to determine the exact cause of a cataract, they speculate that several environmental factors influence cataract development.
The nerve fibers within the optic nerve send information to the brain to process what you see. Glaucoma is an eye disease that interrupts this process by damaging the optic nerve, which may result in a permanent loss of vision. Glaucoma is caused by increased pressure within the eye. When the eye's fluid (aqueous fluid) cannot drain properly, the pressure increases, which, in turn, presses on the optic nerve.
Macular degeneration is the leading cause of vision reduction in people over the age of 55. It is an incurable disease caused by the deterioration of the macula, an area located in the retina at the center back of the eye. The macula allows you to see fine detail when reading, driving or performing other everyday tasks.

Very thorough exam with kind staff in a beautiful space. It took longer than I expected, about an hour and a half, with lot of wait time. I wish they had texted me a reminder about my appointment ahead of time. There was an auto dialed call reminder, but I like visual reminders. Overall, great, especially where it counts.
