Cataract Treatment
We offer comprehensive cataract diagnosis and surgical treatment using advanced intraocular lens implants. Our ophthalmologists evaluate your specific condition to recommend the most effective replacement lenses. Patients receive pre-operative testing and post-surgical care to ensure optimal vision restoration.
Glaucoma Management
Our team specializes in glaucoma detection through tonometry and optic nerve imaging. We implement personalized treatment plans including medicated drops, laser therapy, and surgical interventions to control intraocular pressure. Regular monitoring helps prevent vision loss from this progressive condition.
Retinal Disease
We diagnose and treat retinal disorders like diabetic retinopathy and macular holes using OCT imaging and fluorescein angiography. Treatment options include anti-VEGF injections and vitrectomy surgery to preserve retinal function and prevent vision deterioration.
Dry Eye Therapy
Our clinic provides advanced dry eye assessments using tear film analysis. Treatment plans may include prescription eye drops, punctal plugs, or LipiFlow thermal therapy to improve tear production and ocular surface health for long-term comfort.
Comprehensive Eye Exams
We conduct thorough eye examinations evaluating visual acuity, refractive errors, and overall eye health. Using digital retinal imaging and visual field testing, we detect early signs of ocular diseases while updating corrective lens prescriptions for optimal vision.

Report
Receptionist was pleasant. Tech did not take medical records into account. Tech was rude and dismissive, rushed through the procedures. I had informed them that his eyes were dilated recently and it was documented in records. They tried to do procedure against our will before we could stop them. We informed tech again that we did not want dilation, to assess records. She got rude and told us that we wasted our time, to consult google.
We informed them that this was unacceptable and that we would be seeking treatment for our 4 year old son elsewhere to which the tech exclaimed, "Good luck with that". I wish I could remember the ladies name but she was an older and shorter woman with shorter red hair. She was rushing the procedure, forcing my 4 year old sons head into the medical device when he was apprehensive. Medical professionals should be compassionate at all times and above all explain and teach.
Especially to children. Avoid this place if you want your medical professionals to act with compassion and care. Ones that do not treat the profession like the military, rough and regimented, dismissive of humanity.
