Services
Cataract Surgery
Cataract surgery removes cloudy lenses and replaces them with clear intra-ocular lenses (IOLs), restoring vision. This outpatient procedure takes minutes and allows rapid recovery. New Vision offers advanced IOL options to eliminate glasses dependency, including multifocal and astigmatism-correcting implants. Patients resume daily activities within days.
LASIK
LASIK reshapes the cornea to correct nearsightedness, farsightedness, and astigmatism. New Vision provides free consultations to determine candidacy. The procedure takes minutes per eye, with most patients achieving 20/20 vision. We use advanced mapping technology to ensure precision and safety for active lifestyles.
Glaucoma Treatment
Glaucoma treatment reduces intraocular pressure through eye drops, laser procedures, or surgery. New Vision employs state-of-the-art diagnostics to detect early signs. Regular exams prevent vision loss, especially for patients over 40. Our team offers personalized management plans to preserve optic nerve health.
Contact Lens Specialists
Our optometrists specialize in contact lens fittings for dry eye, astigmatism, and post-surgery patients. We offer advanced designs like scleral lenses and hybrid options. Comprehensive evaluations ensure comfort and optimal vision. Patients receive ongoing support for lens care and replacement schedules.
Eye Plastic Surgery
Eyelid plastic surgery corrects drooping, excess skin, or wrinkles that impair vision or aesthetics. Outpatient procedures improve comfort, appearance, and functionality. New Vision surgeons address both medical and cosmetic concerns, using techniques that minimize scarring and recovery time.
