Glaucoma Treatment
Our practice specializes in comprehensive glaucoma management using the latest diagnostic tools and treatment modalities. We offer selective laser trabeculoplasty, MicroPulse diode therapy, and minimally invasive glaucoma surgery options like the OMNI system and XEN Gel Stent. Our specialists provide personalized treatment plans to prevent vision loss through early detection and advanced interventions.
Cataract Surgery
We perform state-of-the-art cataract removal procedures using phacoemulsification and laser-assisted technology at Advocate Condell Medical Center. Our surgeons implant premium intraocular lenses to restore clear vision, with many patients achieving independence from glasses post-surgery. The procedure takes approximately 15 minutes with recovery typically completed within one month.
Diabetic Retinopathy
Our team provides specialized monitoring and treatment for diabetes-related eye complications. Through regular dilated exams, we detect early vascular changes and offer laser therapy for advanced cases. We emphasize blood sugar control as part of comprehensive management to prevent vision-threatening complications.
Dry Eye Management
We diagnose and treat chronic dry eye conditions using advanced diagnostic testing and personalized treatment plans. Options include prescription eye drops, punctal plugs, nutritional supplements, and eyelid hygiene regimens. Our approach addresses both symptom relief and underlying causes of tear film instability.
Optical Shop
Our on-site optical boutique offers premium eyewear selections including Ray-Ban, Coach, and Vogue frames. Trained opticians assist with frame selection based on facial features and prescription needs. We provide customized lens options including progressive lenses, photochromic lenses, and specialty contact lens fittings.

As an ongoing patient, I've found this practice to be well run from handling appointments to exams and diagnosis of a variety of issues, from glacouma screening to cataract evaluation. Couldn't be happier.
