Services
Cataract Surgery
Our advanced cataract surgery removes clouded lenses and implants premium intraocular lenses to restore clear vision. We offer multifocal and astigmatism-correcting options for reduced dependence on glasses. With modern phacoemulsification techniques, patients typically return home the same day with improved visual acuity.
Glaucoma Treatment
We provide comprehensive glaucoma management including medical, laser, and surgical treatments. Our specialists use selective laser trabeculoplasty and minimally invasive glaucoma surgeries to control intraocular pressure. Regular monitoring with visual field testing helps prevent optic nerve damage and vision loss.
Dry Eye Therapy
Our dry eye specialists diagnose underlying causes through advanced tear film analysis. Treatment options include punctal occlusion, prescription medications like Xiidra, and lid hygiene protocols. Personalized management plans address environmental and systemic factors affecting ocular comfort.
Comprehensive Eye Exams
We conduct thorough eye health evaluations using the latest diagnostic technology. Annual exams detect early signs of diabetic retinopathy, macular degeneration, and other systemic diseases. Our opticians assist with prescription eyewear selection in our full-service optical shop.
Laser Eye Surgery
Our laser treatments address diabetic retinopathy, retinal tears, and glaucoma. Focal laser therapy seals leaking blood vessels while iridotomy creates drainage channels for angle-closure glaucoma. These outpatient procedures preserve vision with minimal recovery time.
