Services
LASIK Surgery
LASIK surgery at Gailey Eye Clinic uses advanced laser technology to correct nearsightedness, farsightedness, and astigmatism. Our customized iLASIK procedure ensures precise reshaping of the cornea for optimal visual clarity. Patients benefit from improved vision quality without reliance on glasses or contact lenses, with rapid recovery times and long-term results.
Cataract Surgery
Cataract surgery involves removing clouded natural lenses and implanting advanced intraocular lenses to restore clear vision. We offer premium lens options tailored to lifestyle needs, including multifocal and astigmatism-correcting implants. Our surgeons use minimally invasive techniques for faster healing and reduced risk of complications.
Glaucoma Treatment
Our glaucoma care includes medicated eye drops, laser therapy, and surgical interventions to lower intraocular pressure. Early detection through comprehensive exams prevents optic nerve damage. Treatments like Selective Laser Trabeculoplasty (SLT) improve fluid drainage, preserving vision in open-angle and closed-angle glaucoma cases.
Routine Eye Exams
Comprehensive eye exams assess visual acuity, refractive errors, and ocular health. We use advanced diagnostic tools like slit-lamp exams and visual field tests to detect conditions early. Annual screenings are recommended for all ages to maintain optimal eye health and update corrective lens prescriptions.
Pediatric Eye Care
Specialized pediatric exams evaluate eye alignment, focusing ability, and developmental milestones. We treat amblyopia, strabismus, and refractive errors with therapies like patching, corrective lenses, and vision training. Early intervention ensures proper visual development critical for learning and physical growth.
