Ophthalmic Associates (O.A.) was founded in 1972 when Kenneth T. Richardson, M.D. left the chairmanship at University of Pittsburgh to return to Alaska. Nurse Karen Lowe and orthoptist Diane Armitage helped to set up our initial office at 6th & K St. Additional doctors were recruited, including Aharon Sternberg, Ed Crouch, Jan Nyboer, Scott Limstrom, and Bob Rigg.
Our practice moved to 542 West Second Avenue in 1981. Over the years, Ophthalmic Associates offered satellite clinics in Kodiak, Cordova, Wasilla, and Homer. Dr. Richardson continued an active clinical glaucoma practice while simultaneously teaching, producing one of the first electronic medical record systems, and consulting at Baylor University in Houston, Texas.

Specialties
Report
The lens in your eye is responsible for focusing the light onto the retina in the back of the eye, just as a camera lens would focus light onto the film in a camera. Being diagnosed with cataracts means that your naturally clear lenses (behind the iris or colored part of your eye) have become opaque or hazy.
Cataracts and Cataract Surgery
Report
In addition to your cornea, the lens in your eye is responsible for focusing the light onto the retina in the back of the eye, just as a camera lens would focus light onto the film in a camera. Being diagnosed with cataracts means that your naturally clear lens (behind the iris or colored part of your eye) has become opaque or hazy.
