Services
Cataract Surgery
Our cataract surgery removes clouded lenses and replaces them with artificial ones, restoring clear vision. Using advanced techniques like LenSx laser technology, we tailor procedures to individual lifestyles. Patients receive pre-op evaluations and post-op care at our outpatient Salem Laser and Surgery Center.
Dry Eye Treatment
Specialized dry eye management includes TearLab testing and Inflammadry diagnostics. We offer customized treatments like prescription drops and lifestyle adjustments. Our opticians provide ongoing support to alleviate discomfort and improve tear quality for long-term relief.
Comprehensive Eye Exams
Full-spectrum exams assess eye health, vision clarity, and systemic conditions like diabetes. Using OCT imaging and visual field tests, we detect early signs of glaucoma, macular degeneration, and other diseases. Annual screenings ensure proactive care for patients of all ages.
Optical Department
Our on-site optical offers designer frames, progressive lenses, and contact lenses. Expert opticians assist with fittings and prescriptions, emphasizing quality materials like Trivex and anti-reflective coatings. We provide personalized guidance to match eyewear with lifestyle needs and vision requirements.
Refractive Correction
We address nearsightedness, farsightedness, and astigmatism through LASIK consultations and corrective lenses. Advanced diagnostics ensure precise prescriptions. Our team educates patients on options like Transitions lenses and progressive designs for optimal clarity and comfort.
