LASIK Surgery
Our all-laser LASIK procedure uses WaveLight Allegretto and IntraLase FS lasers to reshape the cornea with precision. This outpatient treatment corrects nearsightedness, farsightedness, and astigmatism by creating a personalized eye map for each patient. Most individuals achieve 20/20 vision or better, reducing dependence on glasses or contacts while maintaining ocular health.
Cataract Surgery
We perform blade-free cataract removal using LenSx femtosecond laser technology, replacing clouded lenses with advanced intraocular implants. Options include Symfony, PanOptix Trifocal, and AcrySof Toric lenses that address presbyopia and astigmatism. This FDA-approved procedure restores clear vision while minimizing surgical risks through computer-guided precision.
Comprehensive Eye Exams
Our full-spectrum eye evaluations assess visual acuity, intraocular pressure, and retinal health using state-of-the-art diagnostic equipment. These exams detect early signs of glaucoma, macular degeneration, and diabetic retinopathy while determining optimal corrective lens prescriptions. Both routine and medical exams are available with board-certified optometrists and ophthalmologists.
Cosmetic Eye Lid Surgery
Blepharoplasty procedures address droopy eyelids and under-eye bags through surgical removal of excess skin and fat deposits. This cosmetic treatment improves peripheral vision while creating a more youthful appearance. Complementary services include BOTOX Cosmetic and Juvderm injections for non-surgical facial rejuvenation.
Optical Services
Our optical center offers premium eyewear selection including designer frames, progressive lenses, and specialized sunglasses. Patients receive expert guidance on lens coatings, material options, and contact lens fittings. We maintain inventory of the latest optical technologies to complement both medical and cosmetic eye care needs.
