MESSAGE FROM DR. STONE:
After 40 years of practice, I closed my Marine Drive office due to mechanical problems with its HVAC systems. During my temporary relocation to Albany Park, over half of you followed me there, despite the inconvenience and short notice. Your loyalty to my practice was humbling.
You will need to seek new care. I sent out a goodbye announcement with the names of five outstanding doctors and clinics located in Uptown, Rogers Park, Oak Park, Albany Park, and Skokie. Navigate to the office that best meets your needs. In some cases, we gave you specific recommendations.
If you need your medical records, call us as soon as possible at 773-561-4545 and leave a voice message.

A cataract is a clouding of the natural lens of the eye. Early symptoms include glare and blurred vision. Things appear darker and not as crisp as before (loss of contrast sensitivity).
As a general rule we recommend waiting until vision drops to 20/40 or below, but there are exceptions.
With improvements in outcomes, patients are seeking treatment at earlier stages than in the past. After the cataract is removed, an intraocular lens (IOL) is implanted. IOL’s are available in aspheric, toric, multifocal and extended depth of vision versions. We will review these options with you during your consultation.
Minor Eyelid Surgery
Whether you have a stye, chalazion, eyelid cyst, nevus, or other disturbing eyelid lesion, this needs careful attention by an oculoplastic surgeon.
In contrast to cauterization or freezing done by dermatologists, our procedures require an incision.
Our specialized equipment includes a radiofrequency unit which cuts and cauterizes simultaneously.
We also utilize an operating microscope that magnifies the surgical field 2 to 3-fold.
Two doctors will be scrubbed for your procedure. Our rate of recurrence is extremely low, with fast recovery time and excellent cosmesis.
