    I have dedicated my career to caring for people with retinal problems. After completing my fellowship at Emory University in Atlanta, I was offered a position on the faculty there. I immediately began to take part in many clinical trials and as a result I have been either a primary investigator or on a steering committee for most of the clinical trials studying new treatments for diseases like Age Related Macular Degeneration (both Wet and Dry), Diabetic retinopathy, Macular Hole, Retinal Detachment and inherited retinal disease. Taking part in these studies requires extra in-depth training to understand the nuances of both the disease and the various approved and experimental treatments. I take pride in being able to translate this knowledge into everyday language to help my patients understand why they are having trouble with their vision, what treatments are available and what the future holds for their individual problem. In addition to the medical treatment of retinal disease, I have been doing retinal surgery since 1993. As the chief retinal surgeon at both Grady Hospital in Atlanta and Harborview Hospital in Seattle, I have performed thousands of straightforward and complex retinal surgeries. I was also responsible for teaching retinal surgery to young physicians on the faculty of both Emory and University of Washington. This forces you to understand every nuance of each procedure. Because of my expertise I have been asked to write chapters on retinal surgery for textbooks. I have also had the good fortune to develop new drugs, surgical and low vision devices for which I hold several US and foreign patents. The drugs I have developed are currently in clinical trials for inherited retinal diseases and aging changes in the retina. Dr. Saperstein is highly rated in 23 conditions, according to our data. His top areas of expertise are Late-Onset Retinal Degeneration, Age-Related Macular Degeneration (ARMD), Retinal Vein Occlusion, and Retinal Artery Occlusion.

    "Howard Barnebey, MD brought his expertise to the northwest over two decades ago and has been expanding his commitment to the protection and preservation of the precious gift of sight. Treating thousands of glaucoma as well as cataract patients each year, he never forgets the importance of treating each patient with complete individual focus. Dr. Barnebey is one of only a few ophthalmologists in the northwest who is a cataract surgeon trained in the subspecialty of interventional ophthalmology. Like interventional cardiologists who are trained to use catheter technology to open clogged arteries with angioplasty and stents in the heart, interventional ophthalmologists are eye specialists trained in performing canaloplasty using similar micro-catheter technology to open and stent the natural filtration canal in the eye (Schlemm’s Canal). Specialty Eyecarè Centre was founded on the principles of Dr. Howard S. Barnebey. For over twenty years he served as a clinical assistant professor at the University of Washington teaching residents. Dr. Barnebey has been a leading contributor to ophthalmology since the early 1980’s publishing articles in major medical journals. Throughout the years he has remained consistent in his mission to educate and advance medical innovation and expand biomedical eye research, implementing the finest care possible to improve the quality of life in his patients. ""I believe that our eyes are the windows to the world and they deserve special attention. Glaucoma is a specialty where details make all the difference. The difference between perfect vision and poor vision is often measured in microns or millimeters of mercury. Having a complement of the most advanced and sophisticated equipment is important in providing a high level of premier care. However, it is the ability to interpret and apply this wonderful technology that makes all the difference in the world.""". Dr. Barnebey is highly rated in 3 conditions, according to our data. His top areas of expertise are Glaucoma, Ocular Hypertension (OHT), Pigment-Dispersion Syndrome, Cataract, and Trabeculectomy.

    What is an ophthalmologist? 

    An ophthalmologist is a doctor who specializes in diagnosing and treating eye and vision problems. Ophthalmologists attend medical school and receive extra training in eye health and diseases. They can diagnose and treat serious eye conditions, such as glaucoma, cataracts, and macular degeneration, and they can also perform eye surgeries. Some surgeries they might perform include removing cataracts, repairing retinal tears, and LASIK surgery to improve vision. In addition to medical treatments and surgeries, ophthalmologists can prescribe glasses and contact lenses. However, people usually see an ophthalmologist if they have complex eye issues that need special care. 

    What is the difference between an optometrist and an ophthalmologist?     

    An optometrist and an ophthalmologist both help people with their eye health, but their training and roles are different. Optometrists go to optometry school and mainly focus on vision exams, prescribing glasses or contact lenses, and spotting common eye issues. They provide regular eye care and can help with many vision problems. An ophthalmologist, on the other hand, is a medical doctor who can handle more serious eye diseases and perform eye surgeries. While an optometrist can help with basic vision care, an ophthalmologist is trained to treat complex eye conditions. 

    What tests does an ophthalmologist perform?  

    Ophthalmologists perform a variety of tests to check eye health and detect issues. Here are some common tests they might use: 

    • Visual acuity test measures how well a person can see letters or symbols at different distances. 
    • Tonometry tests check eye pressure to help detect glaucoma. 
    • Dilated eye exam uses special drops to widen the pupils, allowing a clear view of the retina and optic nerve. 
    • Optical coherence tomography takes detailed images of the retina’s layers to spot conditions like macular degeneration or diabetic eye disease. 
    • Slit-lamp exam uses a bright light and microscope to examine the front part of the eye, including the cornea and lens. 

    What are the warning signs and symptoms of eye problems? 

    Eye problems can affect people differently and at different levels of intensity. Here are some common symptoms

    • Blurry or double vision: Difficulty seeing clearly or seeing two images can indicate vision problems. 
    • Floaters or flashes of light: Small specks or lines moving across your vision, or sudden flashes, may signal retinal issues. 
    • Eye pain, redness, or swelling: These symptoms could mean an infection, injury, or other eye condition. 
    • Sudden vision loss: Losing vision in one or both eyes suddenly is serious and requires immediate medical attention. 
    • Dry or itchy eyes: This may be related to eye strain or irritation, but sometimes can be a sign of an underlying issue. 
    • Frequent headaches: These may be linked to eye strain or vision changes. 
    • Trouble seeing at night: Difficulty seeing in low light could indicate a developing eye condition. 

    Why am I being referred to an ophthalmologist? 

    A referral to an ophthalmologist usually comes from an optometrist, primary care doctor, or another healthcare provider if they see signs of a serious eye condition, such as glaucoma, cataracts, or high eye pressure, or if a complex eye problem needs more specialized care. You might also be referred to an ophthalmologist if you experience sudden vision loss, eye pain, or an eye injury. People with health conditions like diabetes or high blood pressure might be referred to an ophthalmologist for extra monitoring to protect their eyes. 

    When should I see an Ophthalmologist near Renton, WA?

    There are various reasons why you may want to see a specialist, such as: 

    • Your primary care provider recommends it. 
    • Your condition requires expert knowledge and specialized care. 
    • Your symptoms persist or worsen despite treatment. 
    • You need specialized testing or procedures. 
    • You want a second opinion.  

    What should I consider when choosing a Ophthalmologist near Renton, WA?

    It’s important to see a provider with expertise in your specific condition. Each provider profile in MediFind’s doctor database includes information on which conditions they treat, years of experience, research contributions, languages spoken, insurance plans accepted, and more.  

    How does MediFind rank Ophthalmologists near Renton, WA?

    MediFind’s rankings are based on a variety of data sources, such as the number of articles a doctor has published in medical journals, participation in clinical trials and industry conferences, as well as the number of patients that provider sees for a given condition. Note that MediFind’s provider database is not based on user reviews, and providers do not pay to be included in the database. 

    What types of insurance are accepted by Ophthalmologists near Renton, WA?

    Most profiles in MediFind’s doctor database include a list of insurance plans accepted by that provider. However, it’s a good idea to contact the provider’s office to make sure they still accept your insurance, then doublecheck by contacting your insurance plan to confirm they’re in network. 

    How can I book an appointment online with a Ophthalmologist in Renton?

    MediFind offers direct scheduling for certain providers using the “Request Appointment” button on that provider’s profile. If the schedule option is not available for a provider, tap the red “Show Phone Number” button on their profile to get their contact information.

    Why is it important to get a second opinion from a different Ophthalmologist?

    Second opinions are an opportunity to confirm a diagnosis and its root cause, learn about alternative treatment options, or simply gain peace of mind. Many people, especially those with serious diagnoses, get second opinions so they can understand all their options and make informed decisions, so don’t hesitate to get one if you have any doubts or need more information or clarification regarding your care. Note that some insurance plans require second opinions, while others don’t cover second opinions, so be sure to confirm with your insurance provider first.   

    How can I prepare for my appointment with a Ophthalmologist near Renton, WA?

    Prepare for your appointment by gathering the following items: 

    • Copies of medical records (dating back at least one year) 
    • Your medical history, including illnesses, medical conditions, surgeries, and other doctors you see 
    • Family history of disease 
    • List of current prescription drugs, over-the-counter medicines, vitamins, and herbal remedies or supplements including names and doses 
    • Allergies to medications, food, latex, insects, etc.  
    • List of questions and concerns 
    • Your insurance card 

    You might also contact the provider’s office to see if they offer transportation or childcare services or if you’re allowed to bring a loved one for support or to take notes during your visit. 

    What questions should I ask my Ophthalmologist?

    Here are some sample questions: 

    • Can you explain in simple terms what this condition is and how it’s treated? 
    • What symptoms or side effects should I watch for? 
    • What tests will be involved, and when can I expect results? 
    • Are there other specialists I need to see? 
    • What’s the best way to reach you if I have follow-up questions? 

    How can I learn about the latest clinical trials and research advances my Ophthalmologist may know about?
