Services
Corneal Transplant Surgery
Corneal transplant surgery replaces damaged corneal tissue with healthy donor tissue to restore vision. We specialize in full-thickness (PK) and partial-thickness (DMEK/DSAEK) transplants, addressing conditions like keratoconus and corneal edema. Our surgeons provide comprehensive pre- and post-operative care to ensure optimal recovery and long-term ocular health.
Cataract Surgery
Cataract surgery removes clouded natural lenses and replaces them with artificial intraocular lenses (IOLs). We offer premium options like astigmatism correction and multifocal lenses to reduce dependency on glasses. Our fellowship-trained specialists use advanced techniques, including femtosecond laser-assisted surgery, for precise and safe outcomes.
LASIK
LASIK reshapes the cornea using laser technology to correct nearsightedness, farsightedness, and astigmatism. Our surgeons perform customized procedures to enhance visual clarity and minimize recovery time. Patients benefit from thorough candidacy evaluations and state-of-the-art technology for improved quality of life.
Dry Eye Treatment
Dry eye treatment addresses insufficient tear production or rapid evaporation, alleviating symptoms like irritation and blurred vision. We offer therapies such as artificial tears, prescription medications (e.g., Restasis), and in-office procedures like iLux and BlephEx to improve tear quality and ocular comfort.
Refractive Lens Exchange
Refractive lens exchange replaces the natural lens with an advanced IOL to correct severe refractive errors. This procedure is ideal for patients with presbyopia or high refractive demands. Our team tailors lens selection to individual lifestyle needs, ensuring enhanced visual acuity without glasses.

Report
My daughter's ER sent her over and she was seen by Dr Gross. He was patient, thorough and truly amazing. He either knew about her Porphyria or checked it out in between patients because he had the knowledge to know what triggered the diagnosis he gave her. That, in itself, was awesome. His staff is wonderful, helpful and friendly!

I highly recommend Cornea and Cataract Consultants! I felt comfortable from the moment I walked in. The staff are welcoming and professional. Dr. Suedekum clearly explained my condition and what the next step would entail.

As I new patient I tried to make an appointment I spoke to Natalie who acted like it was a great inconvenience to speak with me. I asked to speak with someone else and was kept on hold for 45 minutes and did not even get an appointment I went elsewhere
