Cataract Surgery
We perform advanced cataract surgery using manual and laser techniques, implanting monofocal, multifocal, or toric intraocular lenses to restore clear vision. Our surgeons specialize in same-day procedures, ensuring safety and precision. Patients benefit from reduced dependency on glasses post-surgery, with options tailored to individual lifestyle needs.
Glaucoma Treatment
Our practice offers comprehensive glaucoma management, including early detection through optic nerve assessments and intraocular pressure testing. Treatment options range from medicated eye drops to laser therapy and surgical interventions. We focus on preserving vision by slowing disease progression through personalized care plans.
Diabetic Eye Exams
We provide specialized diabetic eye exams to detect retinopathy, cataracts, and glaucoma linked to diabetes. Using advanced imaging, we monitor retinal health and offer treatments like anti-VEGF injections or laser therapy. Regular screenings help prevent vision loss, emphasizing early intervention and collaboration with primary care providers.
Macular Degeneration Care
Our team manages age-related macular degeneration (AMD) with diagnostic tools to assess progression and treatments like anti-VEGF injections for wet AMD. For dry AMD, we recommend antioxidant supplements and lifestyle adjustments. We also provide low-vision rehabilitation resources to maintain quality of life for advanced cases.
Routine Eye Exams
We conduct thorough eye exams for all ages, evaluating visual acuity, refractive errors, and overall eye health. These exams include screenings for common conditions like astigmatism, presbyopia, and age-related diseases. Our doctors prescribe corrective lenses and provide preventive care advice tailored to each patient's needs.
