Services
Cataract Surgery
Our cataract surgery specialists use advanced techniques to remove clouded lenses and implant intraocular lenses. This procedure restores clear vision for patients experiencing age-related lens deterioration. With thousands of successful surgeries performed, our board-certified surgeons ensure precise outcomes using modern phacoemulsification technology.
Glaucoma Treatment
We offer comprehensive glaucoma management including laser therapy and microsurgical interventions. Our specialists monitor intraocular pressure and optic nerve health to prevent vision loss. Treatment plans combine medication management with cutting-edge procedures like trabeculectomy and drainage implant surgery for optimal pressure control.
Laser Vision Correction
Our FDA-approved laser vision correction procedures reshape corneal tissue to correct refractive errors. Using wavefront-guided technology, we treat nearsightedness, farsightedness, and astigmatism. Patients achieve improved vision with reduced dependency on glasses or contact lenses through customized ablation patterns.
Diabetic Eye Care
Specialized care for diabetes-related eye complications includes retinal screenings and anti-VEGF injections. Our team manages diabetic macular edema and proliferative retinopathy using advanced imaging and laser photocoagulation. Regular monitoring helps prevent vision-threatening complications from blood sugar fluctuations.
Oculoplastic Surgery
We perform cosmetic and functional eyelid surgery to correct drooping lids and remove growths. Procedures include blepharoplasty for vision obstruction and tumor excision with reconstructive techniques. Our surgeons balance aesthetic outcomes with functional improvements for upper and lower eyelid conditions.

Dr. Sher and his staff did a fantastic job of treating the infections I got in both eyes that left me functionally blind for two days.

Dr. Sher is the best ophthalmologist. He is patient and kind and he is incredibly knowledgeable. Previously I went to an ophthalmologist in Edina that was impatient and rushed patients out of the office. Dr. Sher takes the time necessary to answer all your questions. His office in the Medical Arts is really unique--it has a fireplace in it. I would highly recommend him.
