Laser Vision Correction
Our bladeless LASIK procedure uses the Ziemer femtosecond laser and Visx Star S4 technology to permanently reshape the cornea. CustomVue treatments utilize WaveScan diagnostics for personalized vision correction, addressing nearsightedness, farsightedness, and astigmatism. Patients benefit from reduced dependency on glasses or contacts through this FDA-approved procedure that typically takes less than 10 minutes per eye with immediate visual improvement.
Cataract Surgery
We perform small-incision cataract surgery using phacoemulsification technology at our dedicated InSight Surgery Center. Premium intraocular lenses including toric and multifocal options correct astigmatism and presbyopia. The iStent micro-bypass system offers combined glaucoma treatment during cataract surgery. Most procedures take 20-30 minutes with rapid recovery, allowing patients to resume normal activities within 48 hours while experiencing improved color perception and visual clarity.
Glaucoma Treatment
Our comprehensive glaucoma care includes diagnostic testing, medication management, and surgical interventions. Laser trabeculoplasty and iridotomy procedures are performed in-office for open-angle and narrow-angle glaucoma. The iStent micro-bypass offers a permanent solution during cataract surgery. We specialize in managing complex cases with advanced imaging technology for optic nerve assessment and tailored treatment plans to prevent vision loss through intraocular pressure control.
Botox Injections
FDA-approved Botox Cosmetic injections temporarily reduce moderate to severe frown lines between the brows. Administered by licensed physicians, this non-surgical treatment uses purified protein to relax specific facial muscles. Results appear within days and last up to four months with minimal downtime. We follow strict dosing protocols to maintain natural facial expressions while achieving wrinkle reduction through targeted muscle activity reduction.
Macular Degeneration Care
We provide comprehensive care for age-related macular degeneration through early detection and treatment. Dry AMD monitoring includes Amsler Grid self-testing and nutritional supplementation. Wet AMD treatment utilizes anti-VEGF injections to inhibit abnormal blood vessel growth. Our diagnostic capabilities include optical coherence tomography and fluorescein angiography for precise retinal assessment. Patients receive education on lifestyle modifications to slow disease progression and maintain functional vision.
