Cosmetic eye problems incidence / prevalence

Whether it’s wrinkles, hollowness, puffiness, or just a tired-looking appearance, your eyes experience aging before any other part of your face.

The appearance of your eyes and skin is effected by aging, the environment and your health.

Unfortunately wrinkles and droopy eyelids can add years to your face and may even block your vision.

We will ask you to attend a consultation to assess your problem areas before we develop your personal treatment plan.

We can refresh your eyes and general facial appearance with custom treatments. These include laser treatments to address fine lines and wrinkles, facial veins/redness and sun damage/sun spots.

We can also rejuvenate your upper and lower eyelids with a procedure called blepharoplasty, which restores a more youthful, alert and healthy look to droopy eyes.

I dislike my droopy or hooded eyelids

When eyelid skin loses elasticity and sags with age, it creates new folds that can interfere with our vision and make us look older than we feel. Click here to restore youthful looking eyes

My wait time was minimal and I was pleased to note the furniture arrangement for social distancing and the sanitation practices in progress. All in all it was a much more relaxing experience than I anticipated and I was impressed by the procedures taken to assure safe practices for the safety of the patients and staff while reducing stress on the patients.

C.J.S.

Very happy with all the staff, from check in, check out and nursing in pre op. Amazing. Very clean facility. Dr. Chotiner is so efficient and fast. Would recommend him to everyone.

Vey Love

Excellent care and personal attention are provided at Memorial Eye. Hats off to Dr. E. Chotiner, nurses and staff for making my experience there so great!

Q. Bender

As a rookie having my first visit at Memorial Eye in May 2020, I asked for a doctor that was patient and that is exactly what I got in Dr. Kowalski. He took his time and explained my options to me. My testing was extensive and thorough. The staff was very kind and made me feel relaxed during the surgery. A 5 star rating from beginning to end. Well done!

J.E.R.

The staff and doctor were very accommodating. Always on time, if not earlier with appointments. The surgical staff was very attentive to any needs such as extra blankets if needed, and making sure you were comfortable while you waited for your surgery.

Pam C

Wonderful practice with kind and supportive employees. The doctors are top notch and excellent!

A. Hendrix

I was somewhat jittery about returning to the office after the COVID restrictions were lifted. My concerns were put to rest from the moment I stepped through the door and was greeted by an associate who took my temperature, asked pertinent questions, and offered hand sanitizer, as well as being very friendly. The check in and co-pay payment went equally as smoothly.

C.J.S.

Surgery was quick and easy. Staff was very pleasant. Would recommend Dr. Chotiner very highly.

Patricia Scheidler

Service is very complete and professional. Dr. Erik Chotiner was very friendly and able to answer all of my questions. I am very pleased with service and will recommend.

A. Lawrence

I would recommend Memorial Eye Institute and Dr. Erik Chotiner for their expertise. They are all very professional and caring for their patients. It was an excellent experience.

The skin loses its elasticity and our muscles slacken with age. For the eyelids this results in an accumulation of loose skin which collects as folds in the upper lids and forms deepening creases in the lower lids. Click here to read on.
