Services
Cataract Surgery
Cataract surgery removes cloudy lenses and replaces them with artificial intraocular lenses (IOLs) to restore clear vision. We use advanced phacoemulsification techniques with small incisions and foldable IOLs for faster recovery. Our surgeons treat patients over 55 and those with age-related, traumatic, or medication-induced cataracts, ensuring improved vision and quality of life.
Comprehensive Eye Care
Our comprehensive exams assess visual acuity, eye health, and systemic conditions affecting vision. Using advanced diagnostics, we detect glaucoma, diabetic retinopathy, macular degeneration, and other disorders. Services include refraction testing, retinal imaging, and glaucoma screenings, with personalized recommendations for glasses, contacts, or medical treatment.
Corneal Surgery
Corneal surgery treats damaged or diseased corneas through transplantation or reshaping procedures. We perform penetrating and lamellar keratoplasty using donor tissue to restore vision impaired by keratoconus, infections, or injuries. Our surgeons also address corneal dystrophies and scarring, utilizing precise techniques to improve corneal curvature and optical clarity.
Glaucoma Treatment
We manage glaucoma through medication, laser therapy, and surgical interventions to reduce intraocular pressure. Treatments include selective laser trabeculoplasty (SLT), trabeculectomy, and drainage implant surgery. Our approach focuses on preventing optic nerve damage and preserving vision for patients with open-angle, narrow-angle, or secondary glaucoma.
Contact Lens Services
Our optometrists specialize in contact lens fittings for corrective and therapeutic needs. We offer soft, toric, multifocal, rigid gas permeable (RGP), and scleral lenses for astigmatism, presbyopia, keratoconus, and dry eye. Services include training on insertion/removal, care routines, and follow-up evaluations to ensure comfort and optimal vision correction.
