Cataract Surgery
We perform advanced cataract removal with premium multifocal lens implants to restore clear vision. Our techniques include the Restor Procedure and Tecnis Multifocal technology for improved visual outcomes. Patients benefit from reduced dependency on glasses after surgery through customized lens selection.
Cosmetic Eyelid Surgery
Our cosmetic eyelid procedures address drooping brows, under-eye bags, and facial aging signs using minimally invasive techniques. Super-pulsed CO2 lasers enable precise tissue resurfacing with faster recovery. Both upper and lower eyelid rejuvenation options available to restore youthful eye appearance.
Glaucoma Treatment
We offer comprehensive glaucoma management including medication regimens and Canaloplasty, a micro-invasive surgical procedure. Our approach focuses on preserving optic nerve health through early detection and personalized treatment plans to prevent vision loss.
Laser Resurfacing
Carbon dioxide laser treatments address facial wrinkles, sun damage, and skin texture irregularities around the eyes. This non-surgical option stimulates collagen production for smoother, tighter skin with minimal downtime compared to traditional facelift procedures.

Report
Dr. Yohai did my upper eyelid surgery a number of years ago, to reduce their size and weight. They were impairing my vision. Everything went very well. About two years ago, he did cataract surgery on one of my eyes which also went very well and which helped my vision in that eye. It was a more complicated, intricated surgery than the "normal" cataract surgery. Now I am going to have cataract surgery on my other eye.
I have great confidence in his extensive knowledge and great skill. I also like that he has modern examination equipment of many types in his office for complete examinations, no matter what the problem is.

Report
Dr Yohai performed my cataract surgeries. I have a history that includes a childhood eye injury, which required painful & traumatizing surgery. To this day, I'm still very jumpy whenever anything gets close to my eyes. Dr Yohai was patient, calming, and did a spectacular job. I now see at nearly 20-20 & just donated my old glasses. I trust him to perform the ptosis surgery I will require. I can't say enough good things about him & his nurse, Jackie. Even his dog, Buddy, is a treat. Who'd have thought going to the eye doctor could be a pleasure?

Dr. Yohai deserves your considered judgment when selecting a cosmetic and eye surgeon. He's quiet, unassuming, and doesn't promote himself like some of the expensive, well-marketed competitors that also do blepharoplasties at premium prices. You can select him with confidence because he is a highly experienced, skilled surgeon. He has performed several procedures for me including cataract surgery to implant trifocal panoptic inner ocular lenses. He is highly respected by hospital staff, unflappable and calm in the OR. He is perfectionistic about his work and strives to deliver optimal results. I am well pleased with the outcome.

Report
I went to Dr. Yohai due to severe double vision. After a thorough examination Dr. Yohai told me that I had significant strabismus in both eyes. A complicated situation that required surgery. The surgery is not lasik or computer assisted. Its success depends on the personal skill of the surgeon. What could be more perfect that a skilled surgeon who is a perfectionist! That's Dr. Yohai. My eyesight is excellent now. I highly recommend Dr. Yohai for all of your vision needs. He's the best!
