Services
Cataract Surgery
Cataract surgery removes clouded lenses and replaces them with artificial intraocular lenses (IOLs). Our board-certified surgeons use advanced techniques like multifocal and toric lenses to restore clear vision. This outpatient procedure typically takes 15 minutes, with most patients experiencing improved vision within 24 hours. We offer premium lens options to reduce dependency on glasses post-surgery.
LASIK Surgery
LASIK reshapes the cornea to correct nearsightedness, farsightedness, and astigmatism. Using blade-free Wavelight laser technology, we provide personalized treatments for lasting results. Most patients achieve 20/20 vision or better, eliminating the need for glasses or contacts. The procedure takes 15 minutes per eye with minimal recovery time required.
Glaucoma Treatment
Our glaucoma specialists use eye drops, laser therapy, and surgical options to manage intraocular pressure. Treatments like selective laser trabeculoplasty (SLT) and Ex-PRESS Mini Shunt implantation help prevent optic nerve damage. Regular monitoring ensures early intervention to preserve vision and slow disease progression.
Retinal Imaging
Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) creates detailed retinal cross-sections for early detection of macular degeneration, diabetic retinopathy, and other conditions. This non-invasive scan takes seconds, providing immediate diagnostic insights. Regular imaging helps track eye health changes over time for proactive treatment planning.
Dry Eye Treatment
We offer Lipiflow thermal therapy and prescription medications like Restasis to address chronic dry eye. Treatments target underlying causes such as meibomian gland dysfunction. Punctal plugs may be used to conserve natural tears, while lifestyle adjustments help manage symptoms for long-term comfort.

Report
I had cataract surgery performed over the last two months. Dr. Bardes made me feel comfortable with the surgery and the surgery experience at Stonewall Jackson was much better than I had expected. All of my appointments were well scheduled, respectful of my time and all my questions were answered in detail. The surgical process was a breeze. While the post surgical drops seem unrelenting, I'd fully recommend Regional Eye as the place to go to, for your eye surgical needs. They are up to date with their techniques, equipment and processes.

Dr Mayle is an excellent eye doctor. All the staff on the fourth floor were extremely courteous and friendly. Our family has been going to Dr Mayle for close to twenty years. I would not go anywhere else

Staff took their time in meeting my eye care needs. I would recommend REA for your eye care needs. Staff are courteous and you are not just an insurance number.

Nothing but great experiences with the services, staff and Dr Gamponia. Highly recommend them. Wait time is way better than most other practices and they take time to listen to any concerns or questions.
