Services
Cataract Surgery
Cataract surgery removes clouded lenses and replaces them with artificial intraocular lenses. This procedure restores clear vision and reduces dependency on glasses. Our surgeons use advanced techniques like laser-assisted cataract removal for precision and faster recovery.
LASIK
LASIK reshapes the cornea to correct nearsightedness, farsightedness, and astigmatism. Our clinic employs cutting-edge laser technology for customized treatments. Patients enjoy rapid recovery and long-term visual clarity without corrective eyewear.
Eye Exams
Comprehensive eye exams assess visual acuity, eye health, and systemic conditions affecting vision. Our doctors use advanced diagnostic tools to detect early signs of glaucoma, macular degeneration, and diabetic retinopathy. Regular exams ensure optimal eye health across all ages.
Glaucoma Treatment
We provide medical and surgical treatments for glaucoma, including eye drops, laser therapy, and microsurgery. Our approach focuses on preserving vision by controlling intraocular pressure. Personalized treatment plans address each patient's unique condition progression.
Dry Eye Treatment
Dry eye treatment addresses insufficient tear production or poor tear quality. Our solutions include prescription medications, punctal plugs, and lifestyle modifications. Advanced diagnostics identify underlying causes to provide lasting relief from discomfort and irritation.

My Parents in Law visit here for Eye care. once you become their customer, Accounting department schedules appointment automatically and charges "No Show". when i called, they removed those charges at first time, after that, i received 2 other charges with same categary. i am tired of calling them for their mistakes. My parents in law are travelling internation for 6month so no one schedules appointment but their system still schedule appointments automatically and send me charges with "no show" title.

Doctors are excellent. The front office needs improvement. Tried to make me pay again so that they could fix my incorrect prescription. Initially said my prescription was only good for six months then looked forever for a mythical company policy.
