Glaucoma Treatment
Our glaucoma specialists provide comprehensive diagnosis and management of glaucoma through medical therapy, laser treatments, and surgical interventions. We utilize advanced diagnostic tools to monitor optic nerve health and intraocular pressure, offering personalized treatment plans that may include eye drops, laser procedures, or minimally invasive surgeries. With active participation in clinical trials, patients gain access to innovative therapies not widely available elsewhere.
Cataract Surgery
We specialize in modern cataract removal techniques using both traditional and laser-assisted methods. Our surgeons replace clouded natural lenses with premium intraocular implants to restore clear vision. The outpatient procedure typically takes 10-15 minutes per eye, with most patients experiencing significant vision improvement immediately following surgery. We also manage complex cases where cataracts contribute to secondary glaucoma development.
Clinical Trials
As active participants in FDA-monitored clinical trials, we offer patients access to investigational treatments for glaucoma and cataract conditions. Current studies evaluate novel implant devices, sustained-release medication systems, and advanced surgical techniques. Participation provides potential benefits from emerging therapies while contributing to medical knowledge that improves future eye care standards through rigorous scientific research.
Laser Procedures
Our practice offers selective laser trabeculoplasty and laser iridotomy for glaucoma management, along with laser-assisted cataract surgery options. These precise, minimally invasive procedures improve fluid drainage in glaucoma patients and enhance cataract removal accuracy. Laser technology allows customized treatment approaches with reduced recovery times compared to traditional surgical methods, available through both therapeutic and clinical trial pathways.
Eye Exams
We conduct comprehensive eye evaluations for glaucoma detection, cataract assessment, and general ocular health monitoring. Our diagnostic process includes advanced imaging, visual field testing, and intraocular pressure measurements. These thorough examinations enable early disease detection and precise tracking of existing conditions, forming the foundation for all treatment recommendations and management strategies.

The staff from the first contact to the last was informative and helpful keeping me apprised of what test was being done, its purpose and when appropriate the outcome. There was minimal wait time between the tests despite a large number of patients being seen which is indicative of an organized process from start to finish. Thank you.
