Services
Cataract Surgery
Topical clear corneal cataract surgery removes clouded lenses using 10-minute outpatient procedures. We implant acrylic intraocular lenses that restore vision clarity with rapid recovery. Advanced techniques allow simultaneous astigmatism correction through toric lenses or limbal relaxing incisions.
Glaucoma Treatment
Our specialists utilize selective laser trabeculoplasty to improve eye fluid drainage and laser peripheral iridotomy for angle-closure cases. These procedures effectively lower intraocular pressure while minimizing treatment risks for both open-angle and acute glaucoma forms.
Macular Degeneration Care
We provide comprehensive management for dry and wet age-related macular degeneration, including diagnostic monitoring and treatment planning. Our approach focuses on preserving remaining vision and slowing disease progression for patients experiencing central vision deterioration.
Dry Eye Management
Our specialists address tear composition imbalances through customized treatment plans incorporating artificial tears, prescription medications, and environmental modifications. We address both evaporative and aqueous deficiency forms while protecting corneal health.
Astigmatism Correction
Using toric intraocular lenses and limbal relaxing incisions during cataract surgery, we correct corneal astigmatism. This dual-function approach improves uncorrected visual acuity while addressing concurrent refractive errors in appropriate patients.
