LOCK HAVEN -- In 1996, George M. Sadka, MD, opened a practice here in Lock Haven, specializing in medical and surgical diseases of the eye. Later that year, Stefano R. Carpenetti, DO, joined him. Both doctors are board certified ophthalmologists who specialize in cataract and implant surgery. In 2011, Dr. Melissa Randecker joined the practice as an optometrist seeing patients for routine eye exams, eyeglasses and contacts.
Now that UPMC Lock Haven Hospital has transitioned to an emergency department, the surgeons announced that while their office will remain in Lock Haven, they will begin performing surgery at UPMC Muncy. Muncy has a highly trained staff of registered nurses and surgical technicians with many years' experience in taking care of patients having eye surgery.
According to the doctors at Susquehanna Eye Associates, "Our mission back then is still our mission today -- to keep your eyes healthy using early detection and advanced treatment of eye diseases. We also strive to provide a pleasant patient experience. From the moment you contact our office, until the moment you walk out the door, our caring and friendly staff will make you feel like you are visiting with friends and family."
The doctors at Susquehanna Eye Associates treat a wide range of eye conditions including cataracts, glaucoma, macular degeneration and diabetic eye disease. Drs. Sadka and Carpenetti perform advanced cataract surgery using the latest technology in order to help their patients decrease their dependency on glasses. They also use laser and surgical treatments for glaucoma and use the latest anti-VEGF medications to treat macular degeneration, diabetic retinopathy and other vascular diseases of the eye. Susquehanna Eye Associates also offer patients the opportunity to enhance their appearance through the latest surgical and non-surgical techniques, including eyelid lifts and the use of fillers and injectables, such as Restylane and Botox.
