Services
Cataract Surgery
Our surgeons perform advanced cataract removal using ultrasound technology and implant premium intraocular lenses. We offer monofocal, toric, and multifocal lens options to correct vision at multiple distances. The procedure addresses clouded lenses causing blurred vision, glare, and diminished color perception.
Glaucoma Treatment
We provide comprehensive glaucoma management including medicated drops, Selective Laser Trabeculoplasty, and surgical interventions. Our approach focuses on lowering intraocular pressure to prevent optic nerve damage. Diagnostic tools like visual field testing and OCT imaging monitor disease progression.
Dry Eye Management
Our Dry Eye Center of Excellence utilizes Lipiscan imaging and TearLab testing to diagnose underlying causes. Treatment options include Lipiflow thermal therapy, punctal plugs, and customized artificial tear regimens. We address both aqueous deficiency and evaporative dry eye conditions.
Diabetic Eye Exams
Specialized comprehensive exams detect diabetes-related changes in retinal blood vessels. We employ fluorescein angiography and OCT imaging to identify early signs of diabetic macular edema or proliferative retinopathy. Timely interventions include anti-VEGF injections and laser photocoagulation.
Comprehensive Eye Exams
Our full-spectrum exams evaluate visual acuity, intraocular pressure, and ocular health. Using phoroptor refraction and slit-lamp biomicroscopy, we detect refractive errors, cataracts, and systemic disease indicators. The 45-90 minute evaluation includes peripheral vision testing and retinal imaging.
