Services

Laser Cataract Surgery

Our laser-assisted cataract surgery utilizes precision technology to remove clouded lenses and restore vision. Board-certified surgeons perform advanced procedures with custom intraocular lens implants, treating over 50,000 patients. The minimally invasive technique improves healing times while maintaining exceptional optical outcomes for patients with varying cataract severity levels through comprehensive pre- and post-operative care.

Dry Eye Therapy

Specialized dry eye treatments address chronic ocular discomfort through advanced diagnostic testing and personalized interventions. Our clinicians employ thermal pulsation therapy, intense pulsed light treatments, and prescription medications tailored to individual tear composition profiles. The multidisciplinary approach combines environmental modifications with targeted therapies to improve tear production and reduce inflammation across mild to severe dry eye presentations.

Glaucoma Management

Comprehensive glaucoma care includes early detection through advanced optic nerve imaging and pressure monitoring. Treatment options range from medicated eyedrops to minimally invasive surgical procedures like iStent and Hydrus microstent implantation. Our fellowship-trained specialists develop individualized pressure management plans to prevent vision loss, utilizing both traditional and cutting-edge techniques for open-angle and complex glaucoma cases across all stages.

Corneal Transplants

Corneal transplantation services encompass full-thickness (PK) and partial-thickness (DMEK/DSAEK) grafting procedures performed by fellowship-trained specialists. The program addresses conditions like Fuchs' dystrophy and keratoconus using advanced surgical techniques that improve graft survival rates. Patients receive comprehensive preoperative evaluation, surgical intervention, and long-term follow-up to optimize visual outcomes and manage potential transplant complications through dedicated corneal care pathways.

Emergency Eye Care

Urgent eye care services treat traumatic injuries, chemical exposures, and sudden vision changes through dedicated emergency evaluation and treatment. Our specialists manage corneal abrasions, foreign bodies, acute glaucoma attacks, and ocular infections with immediate diagnostic imaging and intervention capabilities. The emergency protocol ensures rapid access to specialized care for preserving vision and preventing permanent eye damage through timely implementation of medical and surgical solutions.

Wonderful experience with my cataract surgery. The only negative is that it is extremely busy and there was a long wait time. I was told to arrive at 11:15 and expect to go home at 1:15. I didn't get to the operating room until 2:00. Once there however, the process was fantastic and precise. I would highly recommend The Center For Sight Dr Joaquin De Rojas MD.

Previously, I had cataract surgery one my right eye performed by a different doctor at another clinic. That experience caused me to be extremely hesitant to have the procedure on my left eye. 4 years later, I could not put off the necessary procedure any longer. Dr. Shoemaker and his entire team exceeded my expectations. The technology he used was more advanced than the previous physician, and his staff was caring and professional. I would highly recommend doctor Shoemaker and his entire team!

Wonderful place. Friendly staff from check in to check out. Very thorough exam. I had my first cataract surgery done by Dr Shoemaker 2 years ago and it was a huge success. Hoping for the same outcome next week when I have my other eye fixed. Update:. Had my left eye cataract surgery yesterday, success! This time I choose to have a block (numbing of the eye nerves) what a fantastic experience. No pressure, no bright light, was finished in a few minutes. Dr. Shoemaker and his team are the absolute best.

The CRNA and nurses explained everything to my understanding and answered all my questions. I highly recommend Center for Sight for cataract surgery. If I would ever need any other surgeries or have any more issues with my eyes I will definitely go back to Center for Sight.
