Services
WaveLight Plus LASIK
WaveLight Plus LASIK uses ray-tracing diagnostics and ultra-fast lasers for personalized vision correction. This advanced technology creates 3D eye maps to correct even minor imperfections with exceptional precision. Patients benefit from faster procedures (under 10 seconds per eye) and improved visual outcomes compared to traditional LASIK methods.
Cataract Surgery
Our laser cataract surgery removes clouded natural lenses and replaces them with premium intraocular lenses. Using advanced diagnostic tools, we tailor implant selection to individual visual needs while reducing dependence on glasses. The procedure addresses both cataract-related vision loss and refractive errors simultaneously.
Glaucoma Treatment
We provide comprehensive glaucoma care including early detection through OCT scans and visual field testing. Treatment options range from medicated eye drops to advanced surgical interventions that lower intraocular pressure. Our approach focuses on slowing disease progression and preserving peripheral vision.
Dry Eye Treatment
Our dry eye specialists diagnose and treat aqueous-deficient and evaporative dry eye conditions. Treatment plans may include prescription medications, punctal plugs, or advanced therapies targeting meibomian gland dysfunction. We address underlying causes while providing symptomatic relief for improved ocular comfort.
EVO ICL Lens
EVO ICL (Implantable Collamer Lens) offers a permanent vision correction solution without corneal tissue removal. These custom-fit lenses correct myopia with or without astigmatism and can be removed if needed. Ideal for patients with thin corneas unsuitable for traditional laser procedures.
