Welcome to the Practice of Richard Storm, M.D.
Welcome to Storm Eye Care, a full-service ophthalmology practice with offices in Long Beach and Brooklyn NY. We specialize in state-of-the-art medical and surgical eye care for adults and children. Our services range from routine eye health examinations and cataract surgery to the treatment of chronic eye diseases such as glaucoma and macular degeneration. With an uncompromising commitment to excellence we are dedicated to providing compassionate eye care in a warm, patient-centered environment. We sincerely look forward to working with you to achieve your best possible vision.
Cataract
Surgery
A cataract is a clouding of the lens of the eye; cataract surgery is performed to improve vision by replacing the clouded lens with an artificial one.
Eyelid
Surgery
Eyelid surgery corrects loose, sagging, or drooping eyelids. It can help you look more youthful and alert, without significantly altering the appearance of your face.
BOTOX®
BOTOX® Cosmetic is a prescription drug that, when injected, temporarily paralyzes muscles. It contains a purified and safe form of botulinum toxin A.
Adult Eye
Care
A professional eye examination tests vision while also evaluating the eyes for more serious conditions and diseases.
Congenital Tear
Duct Blockage
A congenital tear duct blockage, clinically referred to as dacryostenosis or nasolacrimal duct obstruction, affects more than 5% of infants.
Contact
Lens
If you choose to wear contact lenses, you have a wide range of options to choose from.
Pediatric Examinations
Clear vision and healthy eyes are important not only to a child’s overall health and well-being, but also directly linked to academic performance in school.
Eye Muscle
Surgery
Eye muscle surgery is a delicate and precise operation to correct an imbalance in the tiny muscles around your eyes.
