Cataract Surgery
Our advanced cataract procedures utilize topical anesthesia and foldable implants for rapid recovery. Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetists ensure patient comfort during surgery, with most patients resuming normal activities within 24 hours. The surgery center performs over 1,000 cataract procedures annually, maintaining exceptional outcomes through continuous quality monitoring.
LASIK Procedures
We offer customized LASIK solutions using FDA-approved VISX Star S4 technology with 3D eye tracking. Our wavefront analysis system enables precise correction of myopia, hyperopia, and astigmatism. The procedure typically takes under 15 minutes per eye with patients experiencing improved vision within 24 hours.
Implantable Contact Lenses
This advanced procedure involves placing collamer lenses inside the eye for permanent vision correction. Ideal for patients with high prescriptions unsuitable for traditional LASIK, the minimally invasive technique offers rapid visual recovery with excellent long-term stability.
Glaucoma Treatment
Our comprehensive glaucoma care includes Argon laser therapy for open-angle glaucoma and YAG laser treatment for after-cataract complications. The treatment focuses on maintaining optic nerve health through precise intraocular pressure regulation using modern laser technology.
Refractive Surgery
We provide multiple refractive options including PRK, SMILE, and implantable lenses. Each treatment plan is customized using advanced diagnostic tools to address individual corneal topography and visual needs, ensuring optimal outcomes for patients seeking reduced dependence on corrective eyewear.

The skill of Dr. Schulze and the entire staff. They are very friendly and make you feel comfortable. They are like well oiled machine. Dr. Schulze gives you a clear description of the procedure(in my case it was cataract surgery).The results were amazing. I highly recommend using Dr. Schulze for any eyesight problems.

Nov 30, 2022 Report
I initially consulted Dr. Schulze for a LASIK candidacy assessment. Following a thorough examination using advanced technology, I learned I had early stage cataracts, making LASIK unsuitable. Dr. Schulze explained my options for cataract surgery, recommending Basic surgery, which was not only the most economical but also the most beneficial for my condition. This demonstrated his focus on my optimal outcome rather than profit.

Throughout the entire process, Dr. Schulze and his team were highly skilled and professional. Both surgeries were successful, resulting in 20/15 vision in each eye. After 25+ years of wearing glasses, I no longer need them for everyday use, only for readingtruly a triumph for me! I have complete confidence in Dr. Schulze and highly recommend him to others seeking exceptional eye care.

I am extremely pleased with the care provided by Dr. Schulze and the staff at their office. Despite a busy lobby when I arrived, I was promptly called in at my scheduled appointment time, which was impressive given the number of patients. This speaks volumes about their efficiency. The staff is exceptional and very compassionate. On the day of my surgery, the nurse who assisted with my preparation ensured that I was comfortable every step of the way.

I have another surgery scheduled in the coming months, and based on my experience so far, I have high expectations for the care I will receive. If I could, I would give them 10 stars. I highly recommend Dr. Schulze Eye & Surgery Center.
