Services
Glaucoma Care
Our glaucoma specialists use advanced diagnostics including GCX nerve fiber analysis and visual field testing to detect and manage elevated intraocular pressure. Early intervention with medicated drops, laser treatments, or surgical options helps preserve vision. We focus on personalized treatment plans for patients at higher risk due to age, family history, or medical conditions like diabetes.
Cataract Surgery
We offer modern cataract removal with premium intraocular lens implants, including no-stitch techniques for faster recovery. Our surgeons use advanced technology to correct vision issues like astigmatism during surgery. Comprehensive pre-operative evaluations ensure optimal lens selection while post-operative care monitors healing progress and visual acuity improvements.
Retinal Treatments
Our board-certified retinologists diagnose and treat conditions like macular degeneration and diabetic retinopathy using specialized imaging and treatment protocols. We provide low-vision aids for macular degeneration patients and emphasize early detection through regular eye exams to prevent vision loss from retinal diseases.
LASIK Surgery
Custom LASIK procedures correct nearsightedness, farsightedness, and astigmatism using excimer laser technology. Comprehensive candidacy evaluations determine suitability while pre-operative preparations include pupil dilation and numbing drops. Post-operative care ensures proper healing and optimal visual outcomes within 24-48 hours.
Myopia Control
We offer evidence-based treatments for slowing childhood myopia progression, including low-dose atropine drops and peripheral defocus contact lenses. Our specialists develop personalized plans considering family history and lifestyle factors while educating families about outdoor activity benefits and screen time management.
