Services
Cataract Surgery
Our cataract surgery removes clouded lenses and implants advanced intraocular lenses to restore clear vision. We offer toric and multifocal options for astigmatism and presbyopia correction. The minimally invasive procedure typically requires no stitches and allows rapid recovery.
Glaucoma Treatment
We diagnose and manage glaucoma using cutting-edge technology like the Humphrey Visual Field Analyzer. Treatment options include medicated eye drops, laser procedures (SLT, LPI), and surgical interventions to prevent optic nerve damage and vision loss.
Dry Eye Therapy
Our LipiFlow Thermal Pulsation System treats Meibomian Gland Dysfunction, the root cause of most dry eye cases. This 12-minute in-office procedure unblocks oil glands to restore natural tear production and alleviate chronic discomfort.
Refractive Surgery
In partnership with TLC Laser Eye Center, we offer LASIK and PRK procedures to correct myopia, hyperopia, and astigmatism. Customized treatments reshape the cornea using excimer laser technology for reduced dependence on glasses or contacts.
Eyelid Surgery
We perform upper-lid blepharoplasty to remove excess skin and fat for improved vision and aesthetics. Surgical repair addresses entropion (inward turning) and ectropion (outward turning) eyelids to relieve irritation and prevent corneal damage.
