Thomas Eye Group A difference you can see. By Kathleen Boehmig Thomas Eye Group has been serving patients in the greater Atlanta area since 1974. The full service eye care provider opened its Woodstock office more than a decade ago and moved to its current location, 149 Towne Lake Parkway, in 2009. A dynamic organization of respected ophthalmologists and optometrists, Thomas Eye Group provides eye care services for the whole family with specialties that include pediatric ophthalmology, cataract surgery, LASIK, vitreoretinal diseases and surgery, glaucoma, cornea, oculoplastic surgery and cosmetic services. Thomas Eye Group is a carefully selected team of professionals whose doctors are not only outstandingly high academic achievers, but compassionate people who care deeply about the welfare of their patients. The Woodstock office of Thomas Eye Group is comprised of five doctors including Mark Berman, M.D., Paul Kaufman, M.D., Jerry Berland, M.D., Lakhvir Singh, O.D. and Mindabeth Jacobs, O.D. The Thomas Eye Group mission statement is To improve the quality of peoples lives by compassionately providing a lifetime of outstanding eye care. In 2001 our goal was to bring high quality eye care to the city of Woodstock and the surrounding counties. Dr. Berland and Dr. Berman initially started the location and added services and more doctors as the location grew. Dr. Paul Kaufman is fellowship-trained as a specialist in retina/vitreous medicine and surgery, and he has been the Chief of Ophthalmology at Northside Hospital since 2006. He provides care for a wide variety of retinal conditions, including retinopathy of prematurity, diabetic retinopathy, macular degeneration, macular pucker/hole and retinal vascular occlusions, among many others. I enjoy helping people of all ages see better, Dr. Kaufman says, from preemies to people who are over 100 years old. Age-related macular degeneration is the number one cause of vision loss for those who are fifty-five years of age and older. The good news is that in the last ten years we have developed treatments which can not only preserve, but improve their vision! Its an exciting time to be a specialist in retinal ophthalmology. A native Atlantan, Dr. Mark Berman shares his colleagues passion for making a difference in peoples lives. He specializes in treatment of glaucoma and cataract surgery. I like to think that we get back to the basics in our practice here. We reach out to our patients, provide a warm, welcoming environment in which to serve them, and we listen and get to know them, as well as helping them improve their lives. I treat my patient the same way I would expect someone to treat my mom, daughters or wife.He continues, Vision is so critical at any age, but especially for seniors. People are living longer now and vision plays a large role in keeping their independence. Dr. Jerry Berland specializes in comprehensive medical and surgical eye care for children. He serves as the Assistant Chief of Ophthalmology at Childrens Healthcare of Atlanta/Scottish Rite and has been named in Atlanta Magazine and US News and World Report Top Doctors each year from 2012 to 2015. I love being able to make a major positive impact on childrens lives, Dr. Berland declares. In my profession there is an opportunity to permanently prevent and correct vision loss for a childs lifetime. Children with a blocked tear duct, wandering eye or drooping eyelid can have it corrected as well. Correcting an eye problem in a child changes lives not only the childs life but it provides peace of mind for the whole family. I am happy to see any child with the simplest to the most complex eye issues. Some of my patients need a pair of glasses and some need complex eye surgery. The goal is the same and that is to improve the problem and return to just being a kid. Dr. Berland smiles. Lakhvir Singh, O.D. and Mindabeth Jacobs, O.D. are board certified optometrists specializing in comprehensive eye examinations as well as contact lens fitting and eyeglasses. Both doctors provide eye exams to determine visual acuity and function and to diagnose and refer ocular diseases to our ophthalmologists.

The group has been awarded the Consumers Choice Award for 9 consecutive years and named Best Eye Doctor in the Woodstock Family Lifes 2016 Best of Life contest.
