Services
LASIK Surgery
LASIK surgery at AO Eyecare permanently corrects vision issues like nearsightedness and astigmatism using advanced laser technology. Our personalized approach ensures optimal results for patients seeking freedom from glasses or contacts. With thousands of successful procedures performed, our surgeons deliver precise, life-changing outcomes.
Cataract Surgery
Our cataract surgery removes clouded lenses and replaces them with premium implants to restore clear vision. Utilizing FLACS technology, we ensure precision and faster recovery for patients experiencing age-related vision loss. This outpatient procedure addresses glare, blurred vision, and other cataract symptoms effectively.
Dry Eye Treatments
AO Eyecare offers comprehensive dry eye treatments, including diagnostics and advanced therapies like artificial tears, prescription medications, and in-office procedures. We address symptoms such as irritation and redness caused by environmental factors, aging, or medical conditions like Sjogren's syndrome.
Glaucoma Management
Our glaucoma management includes early detection through tonometry and visual field testing, followed by tailored treatment plans. Options range from medicated eye drops to laser therapy, preventing optic nerve damage and vision loss in patients with elevated intraocular pressure.
Comprehensive Eye Exams
These exams assess visual acuity, eye health, and systemic conditions affecting vision. Using advanced imaging, we detect issues like macular degeneration, diabetic retinopathy, and refractive errors during detailed evaluations for patients of all ages.
