Services
Advanced Cataract Surgery
Our laser-assisted cataract surgery utilizes femtosecond technology for precise lens removal and multifocal IOL implantation. This procedure restores clear vision by replacing clouded lenses with advanced implants that often eliminate the need for glasses. Patients benefit from our surgeons' extensive experience, including participation in FDA clinical trials for multifocal lenses.
Refractive Lens Exchange
This procedure replaces natural lenses with multifocal implants to correct myopia, hyperopia, and presbyopia. Ideal for patients over 40 seeking freedom from glasses, it offers similar benefits to LASIK but with permanent lens replacement. Our surgeons have performed thousands of these procedures with exceptional visual outcomes.
Laser Floater Treatment
We offer advanced laser treatment for vitreous floaters that interfere with vision quality. This non-invasive procedure uses precision laser technology to break up floaters, improving visual clarity. Our specialists carefully evaluate candidacy to ensure optimal safety and effectiveness for each patient.
Dry Eye Syndrome
Our comprehensive dry eye management includes advanced diagnostics and personalized treatment plans. We address both aqueous deficiency and evaporative dry eye through options like artificial tears, prescription medications, and in-office procedures. Our approach focuses on restoring tear film balance for lasting comfort.
Glaucoma
We provide complete glaucoma care from early detection to advanced treatment. Our services include comprehensive optic nerve evaluation, visual field testing, and medical/surgical interventions. Treatment options range from prescription eye drops to minimally invasive glaucoma surgeries performed in our surgical center.
