Services
Cataracts
We diagnose and treat age-related and secondary cataracts using advanced surgical techniques. Our ophthalmologists perform refractive cataract surgery with ORA guidance and LenSx laser technology to improve visual outcomes. Patients benefit from premium intraocular lens implants that reduce dependency on glasses while managing coexisting conditions like astigmatism.
Laser Vision Correction
Our PRK procedures utilize Alcon Wavelight technology for precise corneal reshaping. This flapless alternative to LASIK addresses myopia, hyperopia, and astigmatism with reduced dry eye risk. Patients receive personalized consultations to determine candidacy for advanced surface ablation procedures that enhance visual clarity without corrective lenses.
Glaucoma
We offer comprehensive glaucoma screening and treatment including SLT laser therapy and i-Stent implantation. Our specialists monitor intraocular pressure and optic nerve health to prevent vision loss. Treatment plans combine medicated drops, minimally invasive surgeries, and patient education about risk factors like family history and systemic conditions.
Macular Degeneration
Our practice manages dry and wet age-related macular degeneration through nutritional counseling, AREDS supplement guidance, and anti-VEGF injections. We utilize OCT imaging for early detection and monitor disease progression to preserve central vision. Patients receive education about Amsler grid self-testing and lifestyle modifications.
Diabetic Eye Disease
We provide specialized care for diabetes-related retinal changes through annual dilated exams and fluorescein angiography. Treatment options include laser photocoagulation and intravitreal injections to prevent vision-threatening complications. Our team emphasizes blood sugar control and hypertension management to reduce ocular risks associated with diabetes.
