Cataract Surgery
We offer advanced cataract surgery using phacoemulsification and femtosecond laser technology. Patients receive premium intraocular lenses like PanOptix for improved vision at multiple distances. Our AAAHC-certified surgical center ensures safety and precision, with over 20,000 procedures performed. Recovery includes postoperative care to maximize visual outcomes.
LASIK Correction
Our bladeless LASIK procedure uses the Alcon LenSx Laser to correct nearsightedness, farsightedness, and astigmatism. Custom wavefront optimization enhances accuracy, often achieving better vision than glasses. Comprehensive candidacy evaluations ensure suitability, with financing options available for qualified patients.
Glaucoma Treatment
Diagnosis and management of glaucoma include tonometry, visual field testing, and OCT imaging. Treatment options range from medicated eye drops to selective laser trabeculoplasty and surgical interventions like trabeculectomy. Our fellowship-trained specialist focuses on preventing optic nerve damage and vision loss.
Dry Eye Therapy
We address dry eye syndrome through tailored treatments like LipiFlow thermal pulsation, punctal plugs, and prescription medications. Allergy testing identifies underlying causes, while environmental adjustments and artificial tears provide relief. Advanced diagnostics ensure targeted, effective care for chronic dry eye.
Diabetic Eye Care
Specialized care for diabetic retinopathy includes fluorescein angiography and OCT scans. Treatments like anti-VEGF injections and retinal laser photocoagulation prevent vision loss. Regular screenings monitor disease progression, emphasizing early intervention to preserve sight in diabetic patients.

For the past several months, I've been searching for an eye surgeon who is not only knowledgeable and good at what he does, but I wanted someone I could feel comfortable and confident with. It took quite a few visits with several different doctors. then I was referred to Dr. Spector! He is amazing and I cannot recommend him enough! He takes the time to speak with you, has an excellent sense of humor to calm you and is absolutely amazing when it comes to surgery.

I was very worried about the process, but he told me exactly what to expect and re-assured me that "I could be nervous, but he's not nervous at all!" That was comforting! My surgery went great! I'm still so amazed how clearly I can see and how vibrant and bright colors are! Most importantly I could read again! I can't wait for my next surgery for my other eye in July! In addition, every member of his staff are polite, professional and courteous which is very important! They will make sure that all your questions are answered and that you have everything you need! If you too need cataract surgery look no further! Call Dr. Spector and his staff today!

I had an appointment to be refracted yesterday but I was more concerned about another eye issue that had developed. It was an absolute pleasure meeting Dr. Ma. He attended to my issue and today my eye is 99% improved. Dr. Ma is kind, patient, attentive and professional. Thank you Dr. Ma.

In 2021 I had my cataracts done on both eyes. Before the procedure Dr. Spector clearly explained in detail all the possible venues for the operation to assure me that everything would be under control. I decided for the laser surgery and I can tell you I'm very happy with the result! Now I can see all the objects in their sharp details and brilliant colors without missing the hues. Considering where I was before the operation and where I'm now It seems to me like a new lease on life!

I had both eyes done with the best lens available and I am very happy with the results. Dr. Spector did a fantastic job. For those who are thinking about getting these lenses I would highly recommend them and Dr. Spector.
