Services
Cataract Surgery
Cataract surgery safely and effectively restores vision by removing clouded lenses and replacing them with intraocular implants. Performed using advanced techniques, including femtosecond laser technology, this outpatient procedure typically takes less than an hour with minimal recovery time. Our surgeons prioritize personalized care, ensuring patients achieve improved vision and quality of life through tailored treatment plans.
LASIK
LASIK is a minimally invasive procedure that corrects refractive errors like nearsightedness, farsightedness, and astigmatism. Using precision lasers, our ophthalmologists reshape the cornea to reduce dependency on glasses or contacts. Patients benefit from rapid visual recovery, enhanced safety protocols, and expert post-operative care for optimal long-term outcomes.
Eyelid Surgery
Eyelid surgery addresses sagging skin or puffiness to improve both appearance and vision. This procedure enhances eye aesthetics while resolving functional issues caused by drooping lids. Our specialists ensure natural-looking results with careful preoperative planning and attention to facial symmetry.
Dry Eye Treatments
Dry eye treatments alleviate discomfort from insufficient tear production or poor tear quality. Options include medicated drops, heat therapy, and lifestyle adjustments to manage chronic ocular surface disease. Our team focuses on long-term relief through targeted interventions tailored to individual patient needs.
Glaucoma Treatment
Glaucoma treatment prevents vision loss through medication, laser therapy, or minimally invasive surgery. We emphasize early detection and ongoing monitoring to control intraocular pressure, combining eye drops with advanced techniques like MIGS for sustained ocular health and disease prevention.

I rarely follow up on doing reviews but this has been such a wonderful experience i couldn't resist. Dr. Holly Hinman is one of the most confident, experienced, professional eye doctor I have seen in the 5 years I have been suffering with eye issues. I will recommend her to anyone seeking solution to eye related issues.

I was having some blurry vision and looking for any eye care office that was open on a Saturday. I was referred to the Canandaigua Eye Care Center and Dr. Hwang was able to see me on Saturday at 5:30 pm. It was also Labor Day weekend. I was amazed and grateful that a doctor would be on call on a Saturday night on a holiday weekend. Dr. Hwang was wonderful, very reassuring, and gave me instructions for what to do in the future if my eye is bothering me again. I felt so relieved that I didn't have to wait until Tuesday (since Monday was Labor Day) to get my eye looked at. Thank you, Dr. Hwang.

After going so long without going to the eye doctors I decided it was time so I called up this place and was greeted by this wonderful person very pleasant. I believe her name was Alexis. She helped get me exactly where I needed to go. She helped get me the information that I needed. And she set me up with a good doctor to see. So I thank you Alexis and the eye care center.

First off, the staff was not friendly at all, from the front desk, to the assistant and ESPECIALLY the doctor who had NO bedside manor. I waited OVER an hour to see the doctor for TWO MINUTES!!! I literally looked at my watch. I could hear the staff right outside the room talking and laughing as I was waiting to be seen for the doctor to be paid to come in and say she needs a new script, see you in a year.. NO THANKS! I then waited 15 minutes to check out as there was only 1 checkout person, then was told it would be over 30 minutes to be able to look at glasses.. thats when I took my script

Dr. Rothstein did an eyelid lift on me to improve my vision. My peripheral vision, in particular. My eyelids were hanging below my lash line. The surgery was is April 2021. My healing has been great and my vision has been improved so very much. My peripheral vision is 100% better. I am very happy that I had Dr. Rothstein do this surgery.
