LASIK Surgery
Our LASIK procedure uses blade-free Wavelight technology to reshape the cornea, correcting nearsightedness, farsightedness, and astigmatism. Patients typically achieve 20/40 vision or better, with 94.5% reaching 20/20 vision without corrective lenses. The 15-minute procedure involves creating a corneal flap and reshaping the underlying tissue with precision lasers, offering long-term vision improvement for qualified candidates.
Cataract Surgery
We perform advanced femtosecond laser cataract surgery, replacing cloudy natural lenses with premium intraocular implants. Options include multifocal, toric, and light-adjustable lenses to reduce dependence on glasses. The outpatient procedure addresses age-related vision loss, restoring color vibrancy and clarity while preventing progression to blindness if treated early.
Dry Eye Treatment
Our specialized center addresses chronic dry eye through comprehensive evaluation and personalized treatment plans. We offer prescription medications, punctal plugs, and lifestyle modifications to improve tear production and quality, addressing symptoms like burning, itching, and light sensitivity that affect daily activities.
Cosmetic Procedures
We provide blepharoplasty and ptosis repair to address sagging eyelids and under-eye bags. These procedures improve both appearance and functional vision by removing excess skin obstructing peripheral vision. Additional treatments include Botox injections and laser skin resurfacing for comprehensive facial rejuvenation.
Optical Services
Our optical center offers comprehensive eye exams and corrective lens fittings. We provide prescription glasses, contact lenses, and protective eyewear with expert guidance on lens options for different activities. The service includes pre- and post-operative vision care for patients undergoing surgical vision correction.
