Services
LASIK Surgery
Our LASIK procedures utilize advanced femtosecond laser technology to reshape the cornea for permanent vision correction. Patients benefit from rapid recovery times and reduced dependency on glasses or contacts. Our surgeons perform comprehensive candidacy evaluations to ensure optimal outcomes for nearsightedness, farsightedness, and astigmatism correction.
Cataract Surgery
We offer premium intraocular lens implants including multifocal and toric options for cataract patients. Our surgeons use advanced phacoemulsification techniques with ORA intraoperative guidance to ensure precise lens placement and improved visual outcomes for patients experiencing clouded vision.
Dry Eye Treatment
Our specialized dry eye clinic provides comprehensive management through LipiFlow thermal pulsation, punctal plugs, and customized artificial tear regimens. Advanced diagnostics identify underlying causes of ocular surface disease for targeted, long-term relief of dryness and irritation.
Glaucoma Management
We employ cutting-edge diagnostics like optical coherence tomography and visual field testing to monitor glaucoma progression. Treatment options include selective laser trabeculoplasty, micro-invasive glaucoma surgery, and customized medication regimens to preserve optic nerve health.
ICL Implants
For patients unsuitable for LASIK, our implantable collamer lenses offer reversible vision correction with exceptional optical quality. This procedure involves placing a custom-made lens behind the iris to correct severe myopia while maintaining natural eye anatomy.

Report
I have been a long time patient of Dr. Carlson. She is wonderful! But, no matter when I schedule an appointment, there is always a long wait. Recently, I scheduled an appointment for 8:00, hoping to avoid the wait. I showed up a few minutes beforehand and waited in the lobby until the doors were opened a few minutes after 8 before I was let in. I was the only patient at the time. I signed off on the the usual paperwork and still waited another 10 minutes before someone called me in. Very disappointing!

Report
Incredibly frustrated with this place. The technician struggled to align the measurement for my eyes. The dr left me waiting 20 min in the room despite it blizzarding outside and everyone in the office trying to quickly wrap up so we could get out of there. I ended up saying I'd come back on Saturday to get new glasses because of the weather. Showed up today and the person who does the glasses apparently hadn't shown up to work and was supposed to have 45 minutes before then.
The lady at the front desk was nice but basically had no clue if anybody would be showing up. I decided to go else where to purchase glasses only to find out they had put a hold on my insurance to purchase the glasses exclusively from them so I couldn't purchase else where. When I tried to call to have them remove the hold, nobody answered the phone. I only need glasses to wear in prep for my LASIK surgery which will likely need to be pushed back now because of this fiasco and nobody has called me back about it yet.

These guys are the real deal and they're really friendly too! They were very efficient, got all the test done, and I made appointments for surgeries all in one hour. They had budgeted two hours, but I got out early and that's always a good thing for anyone. Thank you very much for being so efficient and so very professional! Carol DuBe
