Leonard, Elise R MD

Ophthalmologists

Glaucoma
Glaucoma mainly occurs in adults over the age of 40, but glaucoma can sometimes affect children too. Risk factors include a family history of the disease, African-American descent, high myopia and diabetes.
Ophthalmology
Dr. Elise Leonard was born and raised in Brooklyn, New York. She graduated from New York University and NYU School of Medicine. She completed an internship in Internal Medicine and a residency in Ophthalmology at Long Island Jewish – Hillside Medical Center, where she was chief resident in Ophthalmology. She has been in practice in South Florida since 1982.
Macular Degeneration
Laser Eye Surgery
Both open-angle and angle-closure glaucoma can be classified as primary or secondary. Secondary glaucoma develops as a complication of another medical condition or injury. In rare cases, secondary glaucoma is a complication following another type of eye surgery.
Cataracts
"Only on rare occassions do I get the opportunity to comment on truly notable and exceptional services that I have received. Such is the case with the recent removal of my cataracts performed by Dr. Elise Leonard. I experienced state-of-the-art professionalism, expert advice and attention to detail, beginning with my first consultation and continuing through the excellent vision I now enjoy without the use of glasses. Dr. Leonard’s office and procedural staff are dedicated, skilled and sensitive to the needs and emotions of their patients. I truly hope that those who are contemplating any vision procedures and/or treatment read this and rest assured that they are in the hands of the best."
Cataract Surgery
Lens replacement is the only permanent vision correction procedure that corrects near and distance vision issues. If your vision is impaired to the point where it is hard for you to go about your daily activities (such as driving), Dr. Leonard will likely discuss cataract surgery with you as your best option.

Internal Medicine

Endocrinologist

Diabetes Care
Diabetic Retinopathy
Much like the film in a camera, the retina is responsible for creating the images one sees. When the retina detaches, it separates from the back wall of the eye and is removed from its blood supply and source of nutrition. If it remains detached, the retina will degenerate and lose its ability to function. Trauma, nearsightedness, proliferative diabetic retinopathy, and retinal tears are all possible causes of retinal detachment. Symptoms often include flashes of light, new onset of floaters, and loss of peripheral vision. If a retinal tear is discovered, detachment can usually be prevented using laser treatment. Fortunately, over 90% of retinal detachments can be repaired with a single procedure. The scleral buckle procedure, vitrectomy, and pneumatic retinopexy are three different surgical approaches for treating this condition. If you are diagnosed with retinal detachment, Dr. Leonard will discuss which option best suits you.

Computed Tomography
Aside from your deductible or co-pay requirements, your health care insurance plan or Medicare should cover basic elements of cataract surgery. Costs that will likely be out-of-pocket are the lenses (monofocal, Toric, or multifocal) and any after-surgery care. Pricing for these services will depend on your insurance and surgery center of your procedure. There are also several tests that Dr. Leonard performs before surgery which insurance companies will not cover, as they are considered screening tests. These tests involve obtaining additional measurements of your eye to more accurately select an appropriate lens, examining the curvature of your cornea, and Ocular Computed Tomography (OCT) of the retina to determine the health of your macula. (Most ophthalmologists consider these tests to be very important and would want to have them done on themselves if they needed cataract surgery.)

Plastic Surgeons

Botox

Ulcer
If you experience ocular trauma with pain, or if you feel that there is something in your eye that you cannot seem to get out, call Dr. Leonard or another eye care professional promptly. We will examine the eye and likely start an antibiotic drop to help prevent infection. Neglect of this problem could lead to more serious problems such as a potentially sight threatening corneal ulcer. Unfortunately, the only true cure for the pain is complete healing of the abrasion, but luckily these usually heal in 24 to 48 hours.
