Services
Cataract Surgery
Our No-Stitch Cataract Surgery uses phacoemulsification technology to remove clouded lenses and implant advanced intraocular lenses. Patients benefit from rapid recovery, with many resuming normal activities the same day. We offer premium options like multifocal and toric lenses for customized vision correction, achieving over 98% success rates in vision restoration through this outpatient procedure.
Glaucoma Treatment
We provide comprehensive glaucoma care including Selective Laser Trabeculoplasty and micro-incisional surgeries. Our fellowship-trained specialist utilizes iStent implants and Ex-Press shunts to improve fluid drainage. Diagnostic tools like Humphrey Visual Field Analyzer enable early detection, while customized treatment plans combine medication, laser therapy, and surgical interventions to preserve vision.
Laser Eye Surgery
Custom LASIK procedures reshape corneas using wavefront technology for 98%+ patient satisfaction. Our advanced diagnostics map corneal topography to correct myopia, hyperopia, and astigmatism. The procedure takes under 15 minutes per eye with rapid visual recovery, offering long-term freedom from glasses through personalized ablation patterns that address individual optical imperfections.
Eye Exams
Comprehensive eye exams detect conditions like macular degeneration and diabetic retinopathy through advanced diagnostics. Our Optovue OCT and Diopsys VEP systems provide detailed retinal analysis. Annual exams are recommended for adults, with specialized testing for high-risk patients using AdaptDx dark adaptometry and endothelial cell counting to ensure early intervention opportunities.
Lens Implants
We offer premium lens implants including AcrySof IQ PanOptix Trifocal and Crystalens accommodating lenses. These advanced options provide full-range vision while correcting astigmatism. Our specialists use Lenstar biometry for precise measurements, ensuring optimal lens selection that reduces dependence on glasses through multi-focal optics and adaptive lens movement technologies.
