Services
Founded by Ralph S. Sando, Sr., M.D. in 1979, Philadelphia Ophthalmology Associates has been serving patients' ophthalmology needs throughout the Philadelphia and Main Line areas for over 40 years. The current director, Ralph S. Sando, Jr., M.D., performs state-of-the-art cataract surgery using devices such as the femtosecond laser and ORA.
Cataract surgery is a minimally invasive procedure that involves breaking up the cloudy lens and removing the pieces from the eye. Once the cloudy lens has been removed, a new artificial lens is implanted. This lens is known as an intraocular lens (IOL), and is inserted through the same small incision from which the old lens was removed.
Diabetic retinopathy is a complication of diabetes that weakens the blood vessels that supply nourishment to the retina (the light-sensitive lining in the back of the eye where vision is focused). These weak vessels can leak, swell or develop thin branches, causing a loss of vision. Changes to your vision may not be noticeable at first.
Our office hours are Monday through Friday: 8:30am to 5:00pm. We are often unable to answer the phone from 1:00pm until 2:00pm - please try to avoid calling for non-emergent issues during that time as your call may be directed to our live answering service. Our doctors are on call for emergencies 24 hours a day.
Take the Amsler Grid self-test to detect any early changes in your central vision. The grid should be printed portrait not landscape and should be placed in a visible location with good lighting. If you wear glasses, then glasses should be worn at the time of the test. VIEW and PRINT the Amsler Grid here.
