Services
Cataract Surgery
Our no-stitch laser cataract surgery removes clouded lenses and replaces them with premium intraocular lenses. Using advanced LenSx laser technology, we ensure precise incisions and faster recovery. Ideal for patients experiencing blurred vision, light sensitivity, or difficulty with daily activities due to cataracts, this procedure restores clear vision and reduces dependence on glasses.
Glaucoma Treatment
We offer comprehensive management for open-angle, angle-closure, and normal-tension glaucoma. Treatments include medicated eye drops, laser therapies like trabeculoplasty, and incisional surgeries. Our specialists focus on early detection through regular eye exams to prevent optic nerve damage and preserve vision for patients at risk of this silent disease.
Refractive Surgery
PRK and LASIK procedures reshape the cornea to correct nearsightedness, farsightedness, and astigmatism. Our surgeons use excimer lasers for precise vision correction, with PRK recommended for patients with thin corneas. Most patients achieve 20/20 vision, eliminating the need for glasses or contacts while ensuring long-term eye health and stability.
Diabetic Eye Care
Specialized care for diabetic patients includes early detection and treatment of diabetic retinopathy. We employ laser photocoagulation, anti-VEGF injections, and vitrectomy surgery to prevent vision loss. Regular comprehensive exams monitor retinal health, while personalized treatment plans address macular edema and other diabetes-related eye complications.
Macular Degeneration
We diagnose and manage wet and dry age-related macular degeneration through anti-VEGF injections, photodynamic therapy, and lifestyle guidance. Our team emphasizes early intervention to slow disease progression, offering advanced treatments for preserving central vision and maintaining patients' independence and quality of life.
