Services
Cataract Surgery
Our advanced cataract surgery procedures utilize premium intraocular lenses and precision techniques to restore clear vision. The Light-Adjustable Lens option allows post-operative customization for optimal visual outcomes. With experienced surgeons performing thousands of procedures annually, we address both standard and complex cataract cases while maintaining exceptional safety standards. Patients benefit from streamlined pre-operative evaluations and comprehensive post-surgical care.
LASIK
Custom LASIK procedures employ wavefront-guided technology to correct refractive errors with exceptional accuracy. Our surgeons tailor ablation patterns to each patient's unique corneal topography, achieving 20/20 vision in most cases. The procedure's rapid recovery time and 96% patient satisfaction rate make it ideal for active lifestyles. We offer complimentary consultations to determine candidacy for this life-changing procedure.
Glaucoma Treatment
We provide comprehensive glaucoma care spanning early detection through advanced surgical interventions. Diagnostic tools like optical coherence tomography enable precise monitoring of optic nerve changes. Treatment options include selective laser trabeculoplasty, minimally invasive glaucoma surgery (MIGS), and customized medication regimens. Our approach focuses on preserving vision while minimizing treatment burden through personalized disease management strategies.
Retinal Care
Specialized retinal services address conditions like macular degeneration, diabetic retinopathy, and retinal detachments. Our fellowship-trained vitreoretinal specialists utilize anti-VEGF injections, laser photocoagulation, and microincisional surgical techniques. Advanced imaging systems enable early detection of retinal pathology, while coordinated care with endocrinologists optimizes outcomes for diabetic patients requiring ocular interventions.
Oculoplastics
Our oculoplastic surgeons perform functional and cosmetic eyelid procedures with expertise in both form and function. Treatments include blepharoplasty for droopy eyelids, ptosis repair, and orbital reconstruction. The team addresses both aesthetic concerns and vision-impairing conditions like dermatochalasis, ensuring improved visual fields and natural-looking rejuvenation through precise surgical techniques.

Questions
What insurance plans do you accept?
We accept most major vision and medical insurance plans including Medicare, Medicaid, and private carriers. Our billing specialists can verify coverage details and explain financial responsibilities during scheduling.
Are financing options available for elective procedures?
Yes, we offer interest-free financing through CareCredit for LASIK, premium IOLs, and cosmetic eyelid surgery. Flexible payment plans help make advanced vision correction accessible to qualified patients.
What should I bring to my eye exam?
Bring current eyewear, insurance cards, medication lists, and any previous eye records. Pupillary dilation may occur, so arranging transportation is recommended for comprehensive exams.
How often should I get an eye exam?
Adults should have annual exams, with more frequent monitoring for diabetics, glaucoma suspects, or those with family eye disease history. Children require screenings at 6 months, 3 years, and before school entry.
What happens during cataract surgery?
The procedure involves removing the cloudy lens using phacoemulsification and implanting a premium intraocular lens. Performed under local anesthesia, it typically takes 15-20 minutes with immediate vision improvement and full recovery within four weeks.
Do you offer emergency eye care?
While we don't provide 24/7 emergency services, we prioritize urgent cases like sudden vision loss, eye trauma, or acute glaucoma attacks during regular business hours and coordinate after-hours care when needed.
