Ophthalmology is a branch of medicine and surgery, which deals with the diagnosis and treatment of eye disorders. Ophthalmologists are experts in the diseases, functions, and anatomy of the eye. They may provide routine care such as vision testing, as well as prescribe and fit eyeglasses or contact lenses. However, ophthalmologists are also surgeons. They repair traumatic injuries to the eye and perform cataract, glaucoma, and corneal surgery.

Dedicated to offering the finest quality eye care available, Dr. Hogan has been recognized with the “Best Ophthalmologists in America Award” by the Consumers’ Research Council of America, a Washington D.C. based research organization. He is a frequent speaker to other eye doctors for their continuing education.
