Services
Cataract Surgery
Our advanced cataract surgery removes clouded lenses and replaces them with premium intraocular implants. Using laser-assisted technology, we restore clear vision while correcting astigmatism and reducing glasses dependency. Patients experience improved color perception and night vision with over 98% satisfaction rates. Our surgeons perform thousands of procedures annually at accredited surgical centers.
LASIK Surgery
Custom LASIK procedures correct nearsightedness, farsightedness, and astigmatism using blade-free laser technology. With over 10,000 procedures performed, our fellowship-trained surgeon delivers personalized corneal reshaping for 24/7 glasses-free living. Advanced diagnostics ensure optimal outcomes for patients with thin corneas or high prescriptions.
Glaucoma Treatment
We diagnose and manage glaucoma through medicated eye drops, selective laser trabeculoplasty, and microsurgical interventions. Regular monitoring with OCT imaging and visual field testing prevents optic nerve damage. Our specialists create individualized pressure-lowering plans to preserve peripheral vision and prevent blindness.
Dry Eye Therapy
Comprehensive dry eye evaluations identify Meibomian gland dysfunction and environmental factors. Treatment options include LipiFlow thermal therapy, punctal plugs, prescription eye drops, and customized hygiene regimens. Our accredited TearLab testing ensures precise diagnosis and effective long-term symptom relief.
Optical Services
Our full-service optical shops offer premium eyewear selection with licensed opticians' guidance. We feature designer frames, progressive lenses, and protective eyewear for adults and children. Specialized contact lens fittings include multifocal and keratoconus solutions across four convenient Connecticut locations.

Dr. Shriver performed PRK on my astigmatism eye and Lasik on my other in December 2021. To go from wearing glasses and contacts for the last 33 years to not having to wear either has been AMAZING! The process from consultation to the procedure was easy and convenient. Dr. Shriver and his team are TOP NOTCH!

I needed an assessment immediately for a serious eye problem. I drive a significant distance to see Dr. Yap. He is an excellent, intelligent, and compassionate professional. Since Dr. Yap wasn't available, I was seen by Dr. Shriver. I have never met ANY doctor who was so condescending and nasty. He actually refused to send me to the specialist I needed. I specifically asked the front desk to note I would never see him again under any circumstances. It is obvious why he was the only doctor in the practice available on short notice.

I had cataract surgery on both eyes with Dr. Shriver. I can honestly tell you that this was by far my best experience ever. Dr. Shriver and his Team are the most professional, companionate, and caring people I have ever met. the surgery was easy and fast and most importantly my vision is perfect. Dr. Shriver called me personally when I got home after my surgery to see how I was doing. Thank you Dr. Shriver and team for everything. I will return to Dr. Shriver every year from now on for check ups and monitoring my vision health.

Report
I had PRK surgery 5 weeks ago with Dr. Shriver and my vision is already 20/20! I wore glasses for the last 40 years due to an astigmatism and severe near-sightedness. I was not sure that I would even be a candidate for laser eye correction, so that was why I hesitated getting a consultation earlier. The staff, especially Katherine and Dr. Shriver, explained the process, recovery and financial payment options thoroughly.
I was not a candidate for LASIK, so PRK was recommended. Dr. Shriver was very transparent with me, informing that the recovery was slower than with LASIK. My advice is to trust Dr. Shriver and the healing process. After one week my vision was 20/25 (before surgery it was -9.0). It did fluctuate however, week 2 and 3 post-op. By week 4, my vision was perfect! My only regret is that I didn't do this sooner!
