Services
Cataract Surgery
Cataract surgery restores vision by removing clouded natural lenses and implanting advanced intraocular lenses. Our surgeons use modern phacoemulsification techniques with premium lens options for improved visual outcomes. Patients benefit from pre-operative evaluations, customized treatment plans, and comprehensive post-operative care to ensure optimal recovery and long-term eye health.
Glaucoma Surgery
Our glaucoma specialists provide medical and surgical management for this progressive optic nerve disease. We offer laser trabeculoplasty, microsurgical procedures, and advanced diagnostic testing to monitor intraocular pressure. Treatment focuses on preventing vision loss through personalized care plans that combine medication management with minimally invasive surgical options for long-term disease control.
Corneal Transplants
Corneal transplant procedures replace damaged corneal tissue with healthy donor material to restore vision. Our surgeons perform traditional penetrating keratoplasty and modern endothelial keratoplasty techniques. The service includes pre-operative screening, surgical intervention, and extended post-operative monitoring to ensure graft success and minimize rejection risks through comprehensive corneal disease management.
Refractive Surgery
Refractive surgery options correct common vision errors like nearsightedness and astigmatism. We offer laser-assisted procedures and implantable collamer lenses for permanent vision correction. The service includes detailed eye exams to determine candidacy, customized treatment planning, and follow-up care to maintain stable visual acuity while addressing individual patient needs and lifestyle requirements.
Retinal Treatments
Our retinal specialists manage complex posterior segment conditions including macular degeneration and diabetic retinopathy. Treatment options include anti-VEGF injections, laser photocoagulation, and vitrectomy procedures. The service emphasizes early detection through comprehensive retinal imaging and provides ongoing management strategies to preserve central vision and prevent progression of degenerative eye diseases.
