Services
Cataract Surgery
We perform outpatient cataract removal using phacoemulsification technology. Our surgeons implant custom intraocular lenses to correct vision, offering monofocal options covered by insurance and premium lenses for reduced glasses dependence. The procedure takes less than an hour with twilight anesthesia.
Cornea Surgery
Our specialists perform full and partial corneal transplants, including DSAEK and penetrating keratoplasty. We treat conditions like keratoconus and corneal dystrophies using donor tissue from certified eye banks, with postoperative care including immunosuppressive therapy.
Glaucoma Treatment
We offer comprehensive glaucoma care including medicated eye drops, selective laser trabeculoplasty, and surgical interventions. Our approach focuses on preserving optic nerve function through personalized pressure-lowering regimens and regular monitoring.
Diabetic Eye Care
Our team provides annual diabetic eye exams and advanced treatment for retinopathy complications. We monitor for macular edema and proliferative changes, offering timely interventions to prevent vision loss from diabetes-related vascular damage.
Dry Eye Management
We diagnose and treat chronic dry eye conditions using advanced testing and customized therapies. Treatment options include prescription medications, tear duct plugs, and environmental modifications to improve ocular comfort and surface health.
