Cataract Surgery
Our cataract surgery utilizes advanced phacoemulsification techniques pioneered by Dr. Joseph Dello Russo, offering small incision procedures with rapid recovery times. Patients benefit from state-of-the-art intraocular lens implants and personalized pre- and post-operative care. With over 50,000 procedures performed, our surgeons maintain exceptional outcomes and patient satisfaction.
LASIK Surgery
As one of the original FDA investigative sites for LASIK approval, we provide precise laser vision correction using the latest technology. Our comprehensive consultations determine candidacy for LASIK, with customized treatment plans to achieve optimal visual acuity and reduce dependence on glasses or contacts.
Eye Exam
We offer comprehensive eye examinations for all ages, including digital retinal imaging and glaucoma screening. Our exams assess visual acuity, eye health, and systemic conditions affecting vision. Same-day appointments and one-hour optical services ensure convenient, thorough care for maintaining ocular health.
Glaucoma Treatment
Our specialized glaucoma management includes advanced diagnostic testing and personalized treatment plans to prevent optic nerve damage. We employ both medical and surgical interventions, including laser therapies, to control intraocular pressure and preserve vision for patients with narrow-angle or chronic glaucoma.
Retina Disorders
Our retina specialists diagnose and treat complex conditions like macular degeneration, diabetic retinopathy, and retinal tears. Using cutting-edge imaging and treatment technologies, we provide both medical management and surgical interventions to maintain and restore vision for patients with retinal pathologies.
