    BALTIMORE, MD, October 09, 2014 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Baltimore Washington Eye Center's Clarksville location is at the RiverHill Professional Center 6100 Day Long Lane, Clarksville, MD 21029. As a comprehensive ophthalmologist, Dr. Hammer sees patients for routine eye exams for eyeglasses and contact lenses as well as complex eye exams for the diagnosis and treatment of eye diseases and conditions including glaucoma, cataracts, age related macular degeneration (AMD) and diabetic eye problems.

An area of special interest to Dr. Hammer is laser cataract surgery and lens implantation using advanced technology lens implants that correct nearsightedness, farsightedness, astigmatism and the age related focusing problem of near vision presbyopia. Dr. Hammer takes a personal interest in helping patients with cataracts achieve their vision correction goals of seeing clearly without being dependent on glasses or contacts. For those patients who do not suffer from cataracts, and still wish to learn about how to avoid the hassle of glasses and contacts, they can feel free to discuss LASIK or Lens Replacement Surgery with Dr. Hammer who works in concert with Baltimore Washington Eye Center Corneal Specialist Brad Spagnolo, M.D. to offer these procedures for Columbia area patients. Dr. Hammer is certified by the American Board of Ophthalmology, is a member of the American Academy of Ophthalmology and served as Chief of Ophthalmology at Ireland Army Community Hospital in Ft. Knox, Kentucky prior to joining Baltimore Washington Eye Center.
