We strive to provide our patients with safe, minimally invasive treatments that effectively relieve symptoms and preserve vision and overall eye health. As a comprehensive ophthalmology practice, our services include not only laser vision correction and small-incision cataract surgery but also treatments for a range of conditions such as glaucoma, the diabetic eye, dry eye and macular degeneration. Regular eye exams are a valuable tool to maintaining the health of your eyes by detecting and preventing disease.

Clear vision and healthy eyes are important not only to a child's overall health and well-being, but are also directly related to their academic performance in school. While vision screenings given at a child's school each year may identify children who are at risk for problems with their vision, vision screenings do not test the overall health of the child's eyes.

The cornea is a thin, clear, spherical layer of tissue on the surface of the eye that provides a window for light to pass through. In a healthy eye, the cornea bends or refracts light rays so they focus precisely on the retina in the back of the eye. There are many diseases that can affect the cornea, causing pain or loss of vision.
