LASIK
LASIK reshapes the cornea using an excimer laser to correct nearsightedness, farsightedness, and astigmatism. The procedure creates a thin corneal flap, allowing precise tissue reshaping for improved vision. Patients typically experience 20/20 vision within 24 hours, with minimal discomfort and rapid recovery. Our advanced technology ensures personalized treatment plans for lasting results.
SMILE
SMILE is a minimally invasive procedure that corrects myopia and astigmatism through a 3mm incision without creating a corneal flap. Using the Zeiss VisuMax laser, it removes a lenticule to reshape the cornea, reducing dry eye risks and enhancing stability. The 25-second laser process offers quick visual recovery and fewer post-operative complications compared to traditional methods.
Cataract Surgery
Our Robotic Laser Cataract Surgery combines precision robotics with laser technology to remove clouded lenses and implant advanced intraocular lenses. This approach ensures customized treatment for sharper vision, faster healing, and reduced dependency on glasses. Premium lens options address astigmatism and presbyopia, optimizing outcomes for active lifestyles.
PRK
PRK removes the cornea's outer layer to reshape underlying tissue with an excimer laser, ideal for patients with thin or irregular corneas. While recovery takes longer than LASIK, it preserves more corneal structure for enhanced long-term stability. This flap-free procedure effectively treats high prescriptions and contact lens intolerance with comparable visual acuity results.
Dry Eye Treatment
LipiFlow addresses chronic dry eye by targeting meibomian gland dysfunction using thermal pulsation technology. The 12-minute in-office treatment clears blocked glands to restore natural tear production. Patients experience reduced irritation and improved ocular comfort within weeks, with effects lasting up to 12 months for sustained relief.
