Services
Cataract Surgery
Zeiter Eye Medical Group offers advanced cataract surgery using premium intraocular lenses like Acrysof PanOptix and Toric IOLs. Our surgeons perform custom procedures to restore clear vision, with patients often reporting improved sight within days. As Central Valley's leading provider, we combine decades of experience with cutting-edge technology for optimal outcomes.
Refractive Lens Exchange
This procedure replaces the eye's natural lens with an advanced implant to correct vision issues like presbyopia and astigmatism. Unlike traditional cataract surgery, RLE is performed preventatively to reduce dependency on glasses. Our surgeons use precise measurements to ensure tailored results matching each patient's lifestyle needs.
Cornea Treatments
We specialize in diagnosing and treating corneal diseases through advanced therapies and surgical interventions. Our ophthalmologists address conditions like keratoconus and corneal dystrophies using techniques that preserve vision and eye health. Treatment plans combine medical management with surgical expertise when necessary.
Glaucoma Management
Our comprehensive glaucoma care includes early detection through advanced diagnostic testing and personalized treatment plans. We employ both medical and surgical approaches to control intraocular pressure and prevent vision loss. Patients benefit from ongoing monitoring and tailored interventions using the latest technologies.
Retina Treatments
We provide specialized care for retinal conditions including diabetic retinopathy and macular degeneration. Our services combine medical management with advanced surgical techniques to preserve and restore vision. Patients receive coordinated care using state-of-the-art diagnostic and treatment equipment.

I was skeptical about getting Lasik eye surgery done on my myself, but after talking to Dr. Joey about it I decided to go ahead and get it done. All I can say is I made the right choice, I love not having to wear glasses anymore. Thanks to Dr. Joey it was a great experience. Highly recommend!

I don't think I have encountered a more rude group of people. The first time I gave them the benefit of the doubt, maybe it was a bad day? The next time, same thing. This last time I only went to pick up a copy of my prescription, and am so happy I don't have to go back. The people working genuinely seem like they don't want to be there and definitely don't want to help anybody. I will walk around blind before going back there.

I went in and was charged $175 co pay for 10 minutes of the doctors time. He walked in looked at my eyes in a few different angles told me I was all good basically and see you in a year. Then I had to ask him about the reason I was there. He hadn't read my chart or anything to know that I had a specific issue. I asked about that issue, he looked at my eyes for another 90 seconds and said they were fine.
I again asked about my issue and informed him of some thing another doctor had said could possibly be going on. He looked at my eyes again and said oh yeah they are a bit plugged up, just put some hot compresses on your eyes four times a day. He was so much in a hurry and so rushed that he made me feel like I shouldn't be asking my questions about my issues. I will not be seeing him in a year, I will not go back there. The girls were great however.

Had to come to the Lodi office to correct a bad prescription that was given by one of the Stockton doctors. The doctor was great but trying to order contact trials has now taken 6 weeks. I stopped by the office to try a slightly different prescription on the contract trials and never heard from them despite the office workers telling me they'd contact me the following week. I stopped back in 2 weeks later and the contact person had placed the order without calling me and said she'd call when they arrived. 3 weeks later and still haven't heard from them so I called and the order apparently did arrive but I was never contacted.

After dealing with Dr. Hetzner for 20years, I'm done. Running late I called prior to Appt to say I'd be 10 min late. After waiting to get past covid measures I arrived at receptionist 11 min late. She checked with Dr Pham and I was turned away. "Later than 10 min. late." Well I went 2 doors down and am a new patient of Dr. Burke. See ya Zeiter.
