Laser Vision Correction
Our laser vision correction procedures use bladeless femtosecond technology to reshape the cornea for improved vision. We offer SMILE, Contoura Vision, and LASIK options for patients with nearsightedness, farsightedness, or astigmatism. With over 50,000 procedures performed, our board-certified specialists deliver personalized solutions for reducing dependence on glasses or contacts.
Dry Eye Therapy
We specialize in advanced dry eye treatments including LipiFlow thermal pulsation and IPL therapy for meibomian gland dysfunction. Our personalized approach combines diagnostic testing with customized treatment plans to restore natural tear production. Our specialists address both the symptoms and root causes of chronic dry eye conditions.
Corneal Transplants
Our corneal transplant procedures include traditional penetrating keratoplasty and endothelial keratoplasty techniques. We treat corneal ectasia, keratoconus, and post-surgical complications using donor tissue and advanced surgical techniques. Our specialists have extensive experience in restoring vision for complex corneal conditions.
EVO ICL
EVO Visian ICL provides a permanent vision correction solution for patients unsuitable for LASIK. This implantable collamer lens corrects nearsightedness without removing corneal tissue. Our specialists perform comprehensive evaluations to ensure proper lens sizing and positioning for optimal visual outcomes.
Cataract Surgery
We offer advanced cataract surgery with premium intraocular lenses including trifocal, toric, and presbyopia-correcting options. Our laser-assisted procedures use ORA technology for real-time adjustments during surgery. We specialize in treating complex cataract cases with personalized visual rehabilitation plans.

The wait time is disgusting. Had an 8:45 appt. Took me back on time, did the vision check and dilated the eyes. Told it tool 10 minutes for the dilation to work. Then I had to wait ovrr an hour and a half to see the doctor. Absolutely ridiculous. I will say that the quality of care is good.

I wish I can give zero rating. Too much wait, small place for sitting area, crowded. When I performed my service, they didn't let me inform that you are only covered after 24 months, just scheduled in 12 months and get money from myside rather than Insurance. I will not recommend.

I first started coming here 7 years ago, when my optometrist referred me here. Dr. Randy Epstein, Dr. Charles Faron and Dr. Parag Majmudar are all great! They're really nice and helpful. Dr. Epstein performed my surgery and can't thank this man enough! The office staff are real nice people. Only complaint is that you may need to wait longer beyond your appointment time. However, I don't mind it, since the doctors really care about their patients and don't want to rush to get you out just to get the next person. All the mentioned doctors are who I encountered and were all happy to show me how to protect my eyes and answer all my questions!

I wish there was a zero star option they need better staff. seriously first time and last will never come here again also if asked, I will definitely tell people not to go to their practice. This is not geared toward the Dr. Because the Dr I saw was absolutely great but with staff like that why would anyone even want to go their.
