Services
Cataract Surgery
We perform traditional and laser-assisted cataract surgery using the CATALYS femtosecond laser for precision. Patients receive premium intraocular lenses like the Tecnis Symfony IOL to correct presbyopia and achieve clear vision. Our surgeons have performed over 70,000 procedures, ensuring safe, rapid recovery with minimal discomfort.
LASIK/PRK
Our bladeless LASIK and PRK procedures correct refractive errors using the Wavelight FS200 and EX500 lasers. Custom treatments address nearsightedness, farsightedness, and astigmatism, offering patients independence from glasses. We specialize in wavefront-guided and topography-guided solutions for optimal visual outcomes.
Glaucoma Treatment
We offer minimally invasive glaucoma surgeries like the iStent and selective laser trabeculoplasty (SLT) to reduce intraocular pressure. Our approach combines medicated eye drops, advanced diagnostics, and personalized treatment plans to prevent optic nerve damage and preserve vision.
Cornea Transplant
Our team performs full-thickness (PKP) and partial-thickness (DSEK/DMEK) cornea transplants to treat severe damage or disease. Donor tissue is carefully screened to ensure clarity and safety. We specialize in restoring vision for conditions like Fuchs dystrophy and keratoconus with faster recovery options.
Floaters Treatment
We use the Ellex Ultra Q Reflex laser to treat persistent floaters with a non-invasive, in-office procedure. This painless treatment targets and vaporizes vitreous strands causing visual disturbances, improving clarity without surgery. It is ideal for patients seeking relief from large, bothersome floaters.
