Services
Cataract Surgery
Our advanced laser cataract surgery uses femtosecond technology for precise lens removal and implantation of multifocal or toric intraocular lenses. This procedure restores clear vision for patients with cataracts, reducing dependency on glasses. The surgery takes approximately 5 minutes per eye and is performed with local anesthesia.
Glaucoma Treatment
We offer comprehensive glaucoma care including selective laser trabeculoplasty (SLT), medication management, and minimally invasive glaucoma surgery (MIGS). Our treatments focus on reducing intraocular pressure to prevent optic nerve damage. Regular monitoring with OCT and visual field testing ensures early intervention.
Macular Degeneration
Our diagnostic suite includes Optomap imaging and Zeiss Cirrus HD-OCT for early detection of macular degeneration. Treatment plans emphasize preventive strategies like nutritional counseling and AREDS2 vitamins, with monitoring for progression to wet AMD requiring anti-VEGF injections.
Diabetic Eye Exams
We perform dilated eye exams with OCT and fluorescein angiography to detect diabetic retinopathy and maculopathy. Our preventive approach includes lifestyle counseling and coordination with primary care physicians to manage systemic risk factors like blood sugar and hypertension.
Dry Eye Therapy
Our treatment options include prescription medications (Restasis, Xiidra), punctal plug insertion, and lifestyle modifications. We use advanced diagnostics to identify tear film deficiencies and customize treatment plans to improve ocular comfort and visual quality.
