Cataract Surgery
Our advanced cataract surgery removes clouded lenses and replaces them with premium intraocular lenses. This procedure restores clear vision while correcting refractive errors. Patients benefit from our surgeon's extensive experience performing thousands of cataract procedures with modern techniques.
LASIK Procedure
Custom LASIK surgery reshapes the cornea to correct nearsightedness, farsightedness, and astigmatism. Our technology creates personalized treatment plans for optimal visual outcomes. Patients enjoy reduced dependency on glasses or contacts after this quick outpatient procedure.
Eye Exams
Comprehensive eye exams assess visual acuity, eye health, and systemic disease indicators. Our doctors use advanced diagnostic tools to detect conditions like glaucoma and macular degeneration early. Exams include digital retinal imaging and visual field testing for complete ocular assessment.
Glaucoma Treatment
We offer complete glaucoma management including diagnosis, medication, and surgical interventions. Our team monitors intraocular pressure and optic nerve health to prevent vision loss. Treatment plans combine medication management with laser procedures for effective disease control.
Optical Services
Our optical shop provides premium eyewear with single vision, bifocal, and progressive lenses. Patients choose from designer frames with a 30-day exchange policy. We offer specialized lens coatings and guarantees on all optical purchases for complete customer satisfaction.

I could not have been happier with the customer service, efficiency of the team, and quality of aid. I had a pretty terrible week of swelling and pain (which other doctors I'd seen hadn't helped), but after one visit at Allied eye, I was out on the right medications and immediately started improving. The staff were all so kind, and I really was in the best hands. 10/10 would recommend!

It was my first visit to Allied Eye. I was very pleased with everyone that I encountered. Everyone was professional but at the same time they were easy to talk to. The only thing I didn't care for was having to wait 2 weeks to get my glasses. But if the glasses are done properly and I can see well out of them, well 2 weeks isn't that long. It was a great experience. I'm pretty sure I've found my permanent place to get my exams and glasses. Thank you to the whole staff at Allied Eye.

If you have an option to go to literally any other doctor besides Dr. Dennis Matzkin, do so for your own good. I am a nurse, and Dr. Matzkin has the worst bedside manner of any physician I have ever seen personally or even met professionally. He is unkind and repeatedly unwilling to explain my test results to me during my office visit with more than two word answers. He is always in a rush and very rude when you push him to answer questions during your 5 minute office visit, and I am always left with questions that did not get answered.
In addition, I was told that my visit would cost $119 when I called and asked the day before I went. When I checked out they charged me about $250. That is a huge difference. They offer people a free gift card if you give them a good review. So keep that in mind when you are reading these and choosing which doctor to see. Do yourself a favor and go somewhere else!

I love the care I receive at Allied Eye. I've been a patient there since 2011 and seen a few different Dr's come through there. Dr. Matzkin really takes good care of me, his knowledge is amazing. I love that they still have a few employees that know me as soon as I walk in. I wouldn't want to go anywhere else even though it takes me an hour to get there, it's worth it to me.
