Services
Cataract Surgery
Cataract surgery removes clouded lenses and replaces them with artificial intraocular lenses. This outpatient procedure treats vision impairment caused by cataracts, using advanced techniques like no-stitch surgery and premium lens options. Patients benefit from improved visual clarity and reduced dependence on glasses.
Glaucoma Treatment
Glaucoma treatment manages optic nerve damage through medication, laser therapy, and surgical interventions. Our practice offers comprehensive management including eye drops, selective laser trabeculoplasty, and minimally invasive glaucoma surgery. Early detection prevents irreversible vision loss from this progressive condition.
Dry Eye Solutions
Dry eye treatment addresses chronic tear deficiency using advanced therapies like MGD treatment systems and Blepharitis procedures. We provide personalized solutions for patients experiencing irritation, blurred vision, or excessive tearing caused by unstable tear film production.
Diabetic Eye Care
Diabetic eye care prevents vision loss through regular retinal exams and specialized imaging. Our services detect early signs of diabetic retinopathy, macular edema, and related complications using OCT technology and dilated retinal evaluations for patients with diabetes.
iDose TR Therapy
iDose TR provides sustained glaucoma treatment through a micro-insert that continuously releases medication. This titanium implant delivers travoprost for intraocular pressure control, eliminating daily eye drop requirements through a minimally invasive procedure performed in-office.
