Following oculoplastic surgery, it’s important to rest and take time off work for at least a week. After that time, you can resume normal, light activities while the swelling subsides.

Oculoplastics (or oculoplastic surgery), include a wide variety of surgical procedures that deal with the orbit (eye socket), eyelids, tear ducts, and the face. It also deals with the reconstruction of the eye and associated structures. https://www.akeyedoc.com/specialties/oculoplastics.html

Tumors of the eyelids may be benign cysts, inflammations (styes), or malignant tumors (skin cancers). Most patients with eyelid tumors will notice a nodular growth on their eyelid. This growth can be red, brown or black. If you suspect an eyelid tumor, don’t delay in calling our office!

Ptosis is the medical term for droopy eyelids. Drooping of the upper eyelid(s) can cause a reduction in the field of vision when the eyelid obstructs the visual axis. Not to worry--surgery can correct this!

About Us

Our Story

Ophthalmic Associates (O.A.) was founded in 1972 when Kenneth T. Richardson, M.D. left the chairmanship at University of Pittsburgh to return to Alaska. Nurse Karen Lowe and orthoptist Diane Armitage helped to set up our initial office at 6th & K St. Additional doctors were recruited, including Aharon Sternberg, Ed Crouch, Jan Nyboer, Scott Limstrom, and Bob Rigg. Our practice moved to 542 West Second Avenue in 1981.

Over the years, Ophthalmic Associates offered satellite clinics in Kodiak, Cordova, Wasilla, and Homer. Dr. Richardson continued an active clinical glaucoma practice while simultaneously teaching, producing one of the first electronic medical record systems, and consulting at Baylor University in Houston, Texas. Many fine doctors have worked with O.A. in subsequent years and have made significant contributions to our success.
