A cataract is a common condition that causes a clouding of the eye’s natural lens. The lens will cloud naturally as we age, causing a gradual reduction of vision, but cataracts are not considered part of the natural aging process. They are a serious condition that requires prompt medical attention. Let us examine your eyes today if you think you may be developing cataracts.

The eyelids need to be in a normal position to ensure eye protection, for good tear production and drainage, and to allow the eyelids to close properly with each blink. When the lids are malpositioned, they can be very irritating to the eye and result in tearing pain, and chronic discharge. We can return the eyelid to its natural position. Call today!

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.
