Services
Cataract Surgery
Cataract surgery removes clouded lenses and restores vision using intraocular lenses. Our surgeons use femtosecond laser technology for precision. Patients often experience improved vision within a week.
LASIK Eye Surgery
LASIK reshapes the cornea to correct nearsightedness, farsightedness, and astigmatism. We use bladeless technology and wavefront analysis for personalized results, achieving 20/20 vision in 98% of cases.
Glaucoma Treatment
We diagnose and treat glaucoma with eye drops, laser therapy, and surgery. Early detection prevents optic nerve damage and vision loss through comprehensive screenings.
Corneal Transplant
Corneal transplants replace damaged corneas with donor tissue. We offer traditional and DSEK techniques for faster recovery, treating conditions like keratoconus and Fuchs' dystrophy.
Dry Eye Treatment
Treatments include prescription drops, punctal plugs, and advanced therapies like Tear Care. We address underlying causes to restore ocular surface health and comfort.

What a great place. Haven't had my eyes checked in awhile and was worried they wouldn't have the right machine to figure out what's wrong. Well. They have about 20 different things that can check your eyes and your glasses. The staff are friendly and helpful. Dr Rusu is excellent and explained in plain English what was going on and how she and the other doctors can help me see better. The process took a lot longer than I'm used to but that's a small price to pay for them being thorough.

On April 13, 2022, I had Lasik surgery. I was able to see so clearly immediately after the procedure. Dr. Elias Aliprandis was absolutely amazing from start to finish. His secretaries Laura, Omayra and Stefania were so helpful, kind and attentive. From scheduling appointments to setting up financing, they were so incredibly helpful. I had the best experience and would highly recommend Dr. Elias Aliprandis.

My experience with Dr. Aliprandis and his entire staff was excellent. Dr. Aliprandis took the time to answer all my questions and to discuss in detail all my options. O'Mayra the surgical coordinator was excellent as well. She took the time both in person and over the phone several times to answer all my concerns and questions. I wish I knew all their names to thank them individually. I highly recommend Dr. Aliprandis. They were all very courteous, pleasant, patient and very knowledgeable.

The gift of sight is truly precious. Dr. Aliprandis is an excellent surgeon and the staff is very sympathetic an helpful. I experienced no pain and was delighted to see the world and read as I once did. Cataracts should and need not be a reality of age. The laser procedure might seem costly, but is there a price to see loved ones and return to everyday fonts?

Today was a horrible consultation. My appointment was at 3 PM, they got me in at 3:30 PM just for some questions and after that I had to go to the waiting area to wait to be seen by the doctor. The waiting time was up to "2 hours". Literally the doctor saw me at 5:00 PM. He asked me the same questions again and for the eye check up. Honestly he did not know what he was doing. At the end he just told me that in most cases is nothing and maybe I need to see a neurologist even that he thinks it is not necesaary. I do not recommend thiis office, waist of time.
