LASIK Surgery

Valley Eye Associates offers blade-free LASIK using iLASIK technology for permanent vision correction. This procedure reshapes the cornea to treat myopia, hyperopia, and astigmatism. Patients achieve clearer vision without glasses or contacts through personalized treatment plans developed by our experienced ophthalmologists.

Cataract Surgery

We perform High Definition Laser Cataract Surgery with premium intraocular lens options. Our surgeons use femtosecond lasers for precise incisions and astigmatism correction. Patients benefit from advanced technologies like the ORA System for real-time measurements and Light Adjustable Lens for post-surgery customization.

Corneal Transplants

Our fellowship-trained corneal specialist performs penetrating and endothelial keratoplasty procedures. We treat conditions like keratoconus and corneal dystrophies using donor tissue. The practice maintains strict donor screening protocols and employs microsurgical techniques to restore corneal clarity and visual function.

Oculoplastics

We offer reconstructive and cosmetic eyelid procedures including blepharoplasty and ptosis repair. Our oculoplastic surgeons treat conditions like ectropion and entropion while improving facial aesthetics. The practice combines ophthalmic expertise with plastic surgery techniques for functional and cosmetic outcomes.

Dry Eye Treatment

Our specialists diagnose and manage chronic dry eye syndrome using advanced diagnostic tools. Treatment options include prescription medications, punctal plugs, and LipiFlow thermal therapy for meibomian gland dysfunction.

My husband went in for eye surgery and they messed his eyes up and they won't see him because he owes a bill then they send him to a place to pay his Bill and he set up payment arrangements with someone that is not associated with the place

Had cataract surgery and now I am having problems with my eyes called Valley eye and they refuse to correct the problem because I owe a co payment that's pretty unprofessional that they don't have a six month followup or atleast call and then you receive a bill from another Association for the room and the utensils used for the surgery I wouldn't recommend them to anyone if you can't afford the three bills you will receive

I'm 80 years old, and my optometrist recommended Valley Eye Associates for the cataract surgery that she had been encouraging me to have. I accepted her recommendation, even though it meant a 75 mile drive for the pre-op appointments and the surgeries. I elected the optional--and extra cost--laser surgery. The right eye was done first, and two weeks later the left eye. I now have 20/15 distance vision, as the surgeries corrected my myopia and astigmatism. Needless to say, I am very pleased with my optometrist for her recommendation and my decision to do as she suggested. Also, for those who might be interested, I elected to have the surgeries without the IV sedation. This, too, was a good decision. The surgeries were essentially painless, with very little post-op discomfort.

I always wanted to have lasik done (I had a very high perscription in contacts and glasses. -6 to be exact), was told by another provider I was not a candidate. Decided to get a second opinion at Valley Eye. Was very impressed at the first initial appointment. It was very intensive and in depth. (That was not the case at the first provider I went to) The team was super sweet and respectful! Everyone I interacted with from front of house to back was friendly. Had my procedure done Saturday morning with Dr. Vrabec and it was a success!

Wish I had visited their office much sooner. Easiest procedure i've ever had! The team was lovely, and so is the Doctor. His bed side manor is A+++! Didn't use verbiage that was hard to understand. Woke up yesterday with 20/20 vision. I cried at how life changing this was for me. Highly recommend!

I am 4 months post-op from LASIK and passed a highly meticulous eye exam for my 1st class flight medical (FAA's most intensive level of testing in order to acquire Airline Transportation Medical). Test results revealed better than 20/15 vision. I can't express enough how happy I am with Dr. Vrebec and his crew.

Customer service is an absolute joke. Was put on hold by one the service attendants, who didn't realize she didn't actually have me on hold/mute and she decided to start mocking me to another colleague not knowing I could hear the entire time! Can't make this stuff up. I approached the manager who instead tried turning the issue on me and called me a liar. Probably isnt the most intelligent decision to call a customer a liar and considering you are a service provider in a highly competitive space, you may want to rethink your approach here. This will be cross-posted wherever possible.
