Services
Cataract Surgery
Our cataract procedures restore clarity by replacing cloudy lenses with advanced artificial implants. Using modern techniques with small incisions and rapid recovery, we help patients regain vibrant vision. The new lenses can be customized to individual needs, often reducing dependence on glasses while improving color perception and night vision clarity for enhanced quality of life.
LASIK Vision Correction
This blade-less laser procedure reshapes the cornea to correct nearsightedness, farsightedness, and astigmatism. Our state-of-the-art technology ensures minimal discomfort and quick recovery, typically completed in under 10 minutes per eye. Patients experience improved vision clarity without relying on corrective lenses for daily activities.
Diabetic Retinopathy Treatment
We provide specialized treatments to protect vision from diabetes-related damage. Our comprehensive approach includes early detection through detailed retinal exams and tailored interventions to prevent vision loss. Regular monitoring helps maintain eye health while managing systemic diabetes conditions effectively.
Glaucoma Management
Our treatment plans address increased intraocular pressure that damages optic nerves. Through early detection and ongoing management, we employ medication, laser therapy, and surgical options to preserve vision. Regular check-ups help maintain stable eye pressure and prevent disease progression.
Dry Eye Solutions
We address chronic dryness through comprehensive evaluations and personalized treatment plans. Our solutions include prescription medications, lifestyle adjustments, and advanced therapies to restore natural tear production. The goal is to relieve discomfort while maintaining ocular surface health for improved visual quality.

Report
I was scheduled for cataract surgery in the surgery center next door. Although my insurance provider said I was covered, the center denied my claim saying they never get reimbursed. Blue Cross spoke with them confirming coverage but to no avail. Apparently, the medical coder is totally incompetent and does not know how to follow directions in writing the claim. I canceled the surgeries.

My son had gotten metal in his eye welding. We went to Urgent Care and they were unable to remove the metal. Dr. Jones' office worked him in the next day and promptly took care of it. Thankful we have a specialist of his caliber in our area!
