Services
LASIK Eye Surgery
LASIK surgery corrects refractive errors like nearsightedness and astigmatism through precise corneal reshaping. Our practice offers conventional, bladeless, and wavefront-guided LASIK using FDA-approved technology. Patients benefit from rapid recovery, with 90% achieving 20/20 vision and 99% reaching 20/40 or better. The procedure takes under 30 minutes per eye with topical anesthesia.
Cataract Surgery
We perform advanced cataract removal with intraocular lens implants, including premium options like multifocal and toric lenses. Our micro-incision phacoemulsification technique ensures quick healing and minimal discomfort. Patients receive personalized consultations to select optimal lens choices for lifestyle needs, with options for laser-assisted precision in select cases.
Glaucoma Treatment
Our comprehensive glaucoma care includes diagnostic testing, medicated eye drops, selective laser trabeculoplasty, and minimally invasive surgical therapies. We emphasize early detection through regular eye exams, particularly for high-risk patients over age 40 or with family history of the condition.
Medical Eye Exams
We conduct thorough eye health evaluations using advanced diagnostic technology. Services include visual acuity testing, eye function assessments, and intraocular pressure measurement. Our exams detect conditions like glaucoma, cataracts, and retinal disorders while determining optimal vision correction needs.
KAMRA Inlay Procedure
The KAMRA inlay improves near vision for presbyopia patients by creating a pinhole effect in one eye. This innovative procedure preserves distance vision in both eyes while enhancing reading ability. Performed as an outpatient procedure, it offers rapid visual recovery with personalized post-operative monitoring.
