Services
Cataract Surgery
Our cataract surgery removes clouded lenses using advanced phacoemulsification techniques and replaces them with premium intraocular lenses. We offer multifocal and astigmatism-correcting implants to reduce dependence on glasses. Patients receive personalized pre-operative evaluations and post-surgical care. Our surgeons perform over 18,000 procedures, utilizing OptiWave analysis for precise lens selection. This outpatient procedure typically takes less than 30 minutes with local anesthesia.
Retina Eye Care
Specialized treatment for retinal conditions including macular degeneration, diabetic retinopathy, and retinal detachments. Our retina specialists use OCT imaging and fluorescein angiography for accurate diagnosis. Treatment options include anti-VEGF injections, laser photocoagulation, and vitrectomy procedures. We manage both medical and surgical aspects of retinal diseases with 24/7 emergency availability for acute conditions like retinal tears.
Glaucoma Treatment
Comprehensive glaucoma management combines early detection through visual field testing and optic nerve analysis with customized treatment plans. We offer medicated eye drops, selective laser trabeculoplasty, and minimally invasive surgical options like iStent implantation. Patients receive ongoing monitoring of intraocular pressure and optic nerve health using GDx nerve fiber analysis technology.
Optical Shop
Full-service optical centers at all locations provide designer eyewear and advanced lens technology. Certified opticians assist with frame selection and fitting, offering progressive lenses, transition tints, and sports-specific eyewear. We maintain extensive inventory of premium brands and provide same-day adjustments and repairs. Our shops feature on-site labs for expedited lens processing.
Dry Eye Services
Multimodal dry eye treatment begins with TearLab osmolarity testing to assess tear film stability. We offer prescription medications like Restasis and Xiidra, punctal plugs, and LipiFlow thermal pulsation therapy for meibomian gland dysfunction. Custom treatment plans may include nutritional supplements, BlephEx lid debridement, and intense pulsed light therapy for chronic cases.

I had a great experience during my eye exam with Dr. Tim Sullivan. He and his staff were professional and caring. They put me at ease and gave me good information and resources for my long term vision care. I had an urgent need for an appointment and they got me in quickly.

Great experience! They are always great and make you feel taken care of and relaxed. I ordered glasses also. The optician was fantastic! She was professional, thorough, answered all my questions and gave me great advice. Sometimes it is overwhelming finding the right frame with so many choices. Sarah made it easy and fun! Thank you Eyesight Ophthalmic!

My appointment was for 11:00am and I was promptly seen by Dr Goldblatt's assistant. Medical history was reviewed, followed by visual acuity checks as well as checking eye pressure. As a follow- up to my last visit, I was escorted to the area where photos were taken of the interior of my eyes to document any change in "freckles" on my retina. Fortunately, there was no significant change. I returned to the examination room and was immediately met by Dr Goldblatt who performed the usual checks on my eyes.

His evaluation was that my eyesight was excellent and that no further action was necessary. He also recommended that my next visit should be in two years rather than one, to which I completely agreed. The entire visit was complete both thoroughly and professionally. It was a very rewarding experience and I am grateful for having Eyesight to care for my eye needs. A wonderful experience and Dr Goldblatt is a distinct pleasure to have as my eye doctor. Absolutely outstanding!

Everyone is so nice. Hands down Eyesight is the place to go. Had both cataracts done. Surgeries went very well. They also follow up on the following day to make sure all is well. Dr. Szmyd is the best.
