LASIK Surgery
LASIK surgery reshapes the cornea to improve vision clarity, often reducing or eliminating the need for glasses and contact lenses. Our clinic uses the VISX Star S4 IR excimer laser for precise, customized treatments. Ideal candidates have stable vision and no major eye diseases, with most patients achieving 20/40 vision or better post-surgery.
Cataract Surgery
Cataract surgery removes clouded lenses and replaces them with artificial implants to restore clear vision. We utilize CATALYS femtosecond laser technology for enhanced precision during the procedure. This outpatient surgery effectively treats age-related vision impairment caused by lens clouding.
Eye Exams
Comprehensive eye exams assess visual acuity and detect ocular conditions like glaucoma and diabetic retinopathy. Our evaluations include refraction testing for glasses prescriptions and contact lens fittings. We also perform specialized assessments for LASIK and cataract surgery eligibility.
Contact Lens Fittings
Contact lens fittings ensure proper lens selection and comfortable wear for vision correction. We offer evaluations for various lens types and provide online ordering for convenient supply delivery. Our specialists address comfort issues and fit specialty lenses when needed.
Refractive Evaluations
Refractive evaluations determine the most suitable vision correction method for each patient. These assessments analyze corneal shape, prescription stability, and eye health to recommend LASIK, PRK, or alternative treatments. We offer free initial consultations for refractive surgery candidates.
