Services
LASIK Surgery
LASIK surgery reshapes the cornea to correct nearsightedness, farsightedness, and astigmatism. Ideal candidates experience stable vision for at least one year. Our surgeons use advanced laser technology to create a protective flap, ensuring rapid recovery and minimal discomfort. Over 98% of patients achieve 20/40 vision or better, with most resuming normal activities within 24 hours.
Cataract Surgery
Cataract removal replaces clouded lenses with premium intraocular implants. Our ophthalmologists perform no-stitch, small-incision procedures using phacoemulsification technology. Patients receive customized lens options like multifocal or toric implants to correct distance and near vision. Over 35,000 procedures completed with a 98% success rate, including dropless surgery options for post-operative care.
Dry Eye Treatment
Dry eye disease treatment addresses Meibomian gland dysfunction through LipiFlow thermal pulsation therapy. This FDA-cleared procedure clears blocked glands to restore natural tear production. Complementary treatments include punctal plugs, prescription medications, and eyelid hygiene education. Over 86% of patients experience lasting relief after LipiFlow therapy.
Glaucoma Management
Glaucoma treatment prevents optic nerve damage through pressure-lowering eye drops, laser trabeculoplasty, and surgical interventions. We specialize in early detection using visual field testing and optic nerve imaging. Personalized care plans address open-angle and narrow-angle glaucoma, with ongoing monitoring to prevent vision loss.
Routine Eye Exams
Comprehensive eye exams assess visual acuity, intraocular pressure, and retinal health. Our doctors use advanced diagnostic tools for early detection of conditions like macular degeneration and diabetic eye disease. Services include contact lens fittings, student eye exams, and dilation procedures to ensure complete ocular health assessments.
