Services
Cataract Surgery
Our advanced cataract surgery removes clouded lenses using blade-free laser technology, replacing them with premium intraocular lenses. This outpatient procedure typically takes 30 minutes, with recovery periods of just a few days. We offer multifocal and toric lenses to correct vision and reduce dependence on glasses, with 80% of patients reporting minimal post-operative eyewear needs.
LASIK Surgery
LASIK procedures reshape corneas to correct nearsightedness, farsightedness, and astigmatism using excimer lasers. The 15-minute procedure creates permanent vision improvements with most patients achieving 20/20 vision. Our pre-operative evaluations ensure candidacy through corneal mapping and prescription stability assessments, with post-operative care including medicated eye drops and activity restrictions.
Glaucoma Treatment
We manage glaucoma through medicated eye drops, oral medications, and laser surgeries like MicroPulse Trabeculoplasty. Our specialists monitor intraocular pressure and optic nerve health through annual dilated exams, implementing treatment plans that may include trabeculectomy procedures or drainage implants to prevent vision loss from optic nerve damage.
Comprehensive Eye Care
Our full-spectrum eye exams evaluate visual acuity, eye coordination, and intraocular pressure while examining internal structures through slit-lamp exams and pupil dilation. These assessments detect early-stage conditions like macular degeneration and diabetic retinopathy, with personalized recommendations for corrective lenses and preventive care strategies.
Corneal Transplants
We perform corneal transplants for damaged or diseased corneas using donor tissue, with options including full-thickness penetrating keratoplasty and partial-thickness endothelial keratoplasty. The surgical procedure replaces unhealthy corneal tissue with healthy donor material, requiring post-operative immunosuppressive drops and regular monitoring to ensure graft success.
