Services
Cataract Surgery
Our custom laser cataract surgery uses LenSx technology to remove clouded lenses and implant advanced intraocular lenses. This procedure restores clear vision for patients with cataracts, often reducing dependency on glasses. The Rand Surgical Pavilion's state-of-the-art facility ensures precision and safety.
No-Flap LASIK
This advanced procedure reshapes the cornea without creating a flap, minimizing risks associated with traditional LASIK. Ideal for patients with thin corneas or prior eye surgeries, it offers rapid recovery and improved visual clarity for nearsightedness, farsightedness, and astigmatism.
Vitreo-Retinal Surgery
Our specialists treat complex retinal conditions like macular holes, diabetic retinopathy, and retinal detachments. Using minimally invasive techniques, we restore vision and prevent further damage through precise surgical interventions in a fully accredited operating environment.
Dry Eye Treatment
We address chronic dry eye syndrome through comprehensive diagnostics and personalized therapies, including prescription medications and advanced procedures. Our approach targets underlying causes to improve tear production and ocular comfort for long-term relief.
Corneal Transplantation
This procedure replaces damaged corneal tissue with healthy donor tissue to restore vision. Our surgeons utilize cutting-edge techniques like DSEK for faster healing and improved outcomes in patients with corneal scarring or degenerative diseases.

Had my cross eye linking done here for both eyes due to keratoconus. I would happily recommend this procedure & practice to anyone thinking about doing this as the doctors are very detailed and take the time to explain the benefits of the procedure. The doctors are very personable & would recommend anyone with eye issues to come here! 10/10

The wait to get on Space Mountain at Disney is short compared to the time you wait here. If you make an appointment your time doesn't matter. i gave them 3 chances and each time the excuse was even more ridiculous. I would highly recommend you go to another place or research an alternative.

Keeps texting me about a deceased family member being due for an appointment. I tried to text STOP but they refuse. I then called and was on hold for a while. Hung up and reported their number to my carrier as spam. DON'T GIVE THEM YOUR NUMBER. The procedure was ok though. Edit: No I won't call again. Reported the fake number you're texting from as spam so I won't get the texts anymore. If you're going to spam people, make opting out easier.

Called four hours ago with an emergency. Still waiting for a return phone call. Ready to start crying from frustration and worry. I am not a new patient. They have all my records should I call another doctor office?!

I just had my cataracts removed there. I cannot heep enough praise on the staff of the Rand Eye Institute. Every one of them has an absolutely amazing bedside manner, all of them kind, patient, and good-natured. Explaining every single detail of what they were doing and why they were doing it as they went along Just wonderful people. They even have a shuttle service to pick you up and bring you home. Which is genius, why doesn't every outpatient Surgical Clinic do this? 10/10 would recommend.

Truly amazing doctors and staff! However I have been here more than 8 visits and the average initial wait time is over 1.5 hours and total time over 3 -5 hours each visit. It's very sad that they can't properly schedule patients. It's an outright lack of respect for the patient's time. Therefore I'm leaving a one star rating due to the lack of proper scheduling. Positively nothing to do with the quality of care! Who exactly in charge of scheduling?
