Services
Cataract Surgery
Our advanced cataract surgery removes clouded lenses and replaces them with synthetic intraocular lenses. We offer multifocal and astigmatism-correcting options, with laser-assisted procedures available. Performed at WakeMed Cary, this outpatient treatment typically improves vision quality and enhances patients' quality of life through modern surgical techniques.
Eyelid Surgery
We provide both cosmetic and functional eyelid surgery to address drooping eyelids, excess skin, and other structural issues. These procedures improve visual field limitations while enhancing facial appearance. Our surgeons use precise techniques to ensure natural-looking results that restore proper eyelid function and reduce signs of aging.
Laser Treatments
Our practice offers specialized laser treatments for various eye conditions requiring precise tissue modification. These non-invasive procedures address specific ocular issues with minimal recovery time. Our physicians utilize advanced laser technology to deliver targeted treatment while maintaining patient comfort and safety.

Our full-service optical shop features experienced opticians who assist with frame selection and prescription fulfillment. We offer designer and budget-friendly frames with modern lens technology. Patients receive expert guidance for difficult prescriptions and enjoy quick turnaround times, typically providing new glasses within one week of ordering.

Our specialized contact lens staff fits various lens types including toric, multifocal, and gas permeable options.
