about us
Presbyopia TreatmentWith the recent development of intraocular lenses which allow both near and distance vision with much less dependency on glasses, we can offer selected patients this exciting advanced treatment over standard "distance-only" lens implants.
Glaucoma Diagnosis and TreatmentGlaucoma is often referred to as the “sneak thief of sight” because in the vast majority of cases vision is lost to glaucoma with no pain, discomfort or noticeable change in vision. This is surprising to many people who feel that their routine eyeglass exam is sufficient to protect against the development of glaucoma.
Dr. Graichen was the first physician in York
County to offer Macugen®, a breakthrough therapy for cases of

therapy. In 1994, Dr. Graichen joined Associated Eyecare and has

other retinal disorders to southern Maine and New Hampshire.

Graichen obtained his Bachelor of Science degree from the University
of Massachusetts in 1979 and his Doctorate of Medicine from Tufts
University in 1983. From 1987 to 1990 Dr. Graichen was an
Ophthalmology Resident at the USAF Medical Center in San Antonio,
Texas. In 1991, he completed a fellowship in Ophthalmic Pathology at
Baylor College in Houston, Texas.
Dr. Graichen received an additional fellowship in Vitreoretinal
Disease and Surgery at the University of Illinois in Chicago,
Illinois in 1992. From 1992 to 1994, he was a staff vitreoretinal
