How We Started

 

Dr. Sunga established Dumont Eye Care in the Presidents’ Square Mall at the corner of Washington Ave. and Madison Ave., with goals to serve those around the community in which he grew up.

Originally from Bergenfield, NJ, Dr. Sunga began his journey to optometry at Gannon University, Pennsylvania where he received his Bachelor’s degree. He then obtained his degree as Doctor of Optometry from Pennsylvania College of Optometry and was awarded Clinical Excellence in the Pediatric Internship of the Mr. and Mrs. Thomas P. Lynch Pediatric Unit.

In 2007, Dr. Sunga established Dumont Eye Care and immediately became one of the most loved optometrists in the area. His charismatic personality and thorough examinations were pleasing to many. Dr. Sunga and his staff demonstrate the willingness to go the extra mile to meet everyone’s eye care needs.

The Dumont Eye Care Team strives to provide the best quality eye care while building strong relationships with our patients.

Diabetes and Age Related Degeneration

Diabetic patients should have a dilated retinal examination each year. Laser treatments have proven to slow the progression of retinal eye disease for many patients. Diabetes often stimulates the growth of new blood vessels in the back of the eye, which ultimately leak and damage the retina. If this condition is discovered early, laser treatment can destroy these vessels. We have the latest instruments used to detect changes in the back of the eye. If we discover advancing diabetic eye disease that can be treated or needs further evaluation, we will refer you for consultation and further testing to a…

Glaucoma Screening and Management

Glaucoma is an eye disease that causes damage to the ocular nerve head, the part of the nerve that transmits visual images to your brain where they can be “interpreted.” Most types of glaucoma involve a significant increase in the pressure inside of your eye, also called your intraocular pressure or IOP, but some people can be affected even by IOPs that are only slightly above normal. Left untreated, glaucoma can cause a loss of vision and even eventual blindness.

Cataract Evaluation and Post-Operative Care

The natural lens in the eye gradually becomes less clear as we get older. When opacities develop in the lens and the lens gets too hazy, vision will be impaired. Our office can diagnose and manage cataract care. When the cataract affects the vision to the extent that you cannot read or see distant objects comfortably, we will recommend cataract surgery. Our office co-manages with cataract specialists that are proven experts in cataract surgery. Cataract surgery can provide you with a bright new world of vision.

LASIK Evaluation and Post-Operative Care

LASIK is short for Laser-assisted in situ Keratomilieusis. You may know it as laser eye surgery. It works by changing the shape of the eye’s cornea, which then allows light to properly travel to the back of the eye so that your brain can correctly process it. This improves your vision and can overcome nearsightedness, farsightedness, and astigmatism. The procedure has a 96 percent success rate in helping people avoid needing to use their glasses or contact lenses anymore.
