Services
Cataract Surgery
Cataract surgery removes clouded lenses and replaces them with artificial intraocular lenses (IOLs) to restore clear vision. We offer traditional and laser-assisted techniques, including advanced options like the Light Adjustable Lens for post-surgical customization. Ideal for patients experiencing blurred vision, glare, or faded colors due to age-related cataracts, this procedure ensures rapid recovery and long-term visual clarity. Our surgeons prioritize precision and patient comfort, using cutting-edge technology to optimize outcomes.
LASIK
LASIK reshapes the cornea using excimer lasers to correct nearsightedness, farsightedness, and astigmatism. This quick, outpatient procedure offers rapid vision improvement, with most patients achieving 20/20 vision within 24-48 hours. We assess candidacy thoroughly, ensuring suitability for those with stable prescriptions and adequate corneal thickness. Our approach minimizes dry eye risks and emphasizes long-term visual freedom, making LASIK a trusted choice for active lifestyles.
EVO ICL
EVO ICL involves implanting a microthin Collamer lens to correct myopia and astigmatism without altering corneal tissue. This reversible option suits patients with thin corneas unsuitable for LASIK. The UV-protective lens provides immediate, high-quality vision with minimal recovery time. Ideal for individuals seeking permanent vision correction while preserving natural eye anatomy, EVO ICL combines safety, flexibility, and exceptional visual outcomes.
Refractive Lens Exchange
Refractive lens exchange replaces the natural lens with an advanced IOL to address presbyopia, myopia, or hyperopia. Similar to cataract surgery, this elective procedure eliminates future cataract risk while correcting refractive errors. Patients benefit from multifocal or toric IOLs for full-range vision, making it ideal for those over 40 seeking independence from glasses. Recovery mirrors cataract surgery, with most resuming activities within days.
Laser Cataract Surgery
Laser cataract surgery uses femtosecond lasers for precise incisions and lens fragmentation, enhancing accuracy over traditional methods. This technology improves astigmatism correction and IOL placement, resulting in superior visual outcomes. Patients experience faster healing and reduced reliance on postoperative drops. Our upgraded LENSAR system with ALLY software streamlines the process, ensuring efficiency and safety for optimal recovery.

Questions
What vision correction options are available for thin corneas?
EVO ICL and PRK are ideal for thin corneas. EVO ICL implants a lens without altering tissue, while PRK reshapes the cornea's surface.
Does insurance cover cataract surgery?
Traditional cataract surgery with standard IOLs is typically covered. Advanced options like the Light Adjustable Lens may incur out-of-pocket costs.
How long is recovery after LASIK?
Most patients resume normal activities within 24-48 hours, with full visual stabilization occurring over several weeks.
Can presbyopia be corrected without glasses?
Yes. Refractive lens exchange with multifocal IOLs or monovision LASIK can reduce dependence on reading glasses for presbyopia.
