Services
Cataract Surgery
Our cataract surgery utilizes advanced laser and lens implant technology to restore vision with precision. Surgeons perform no-stitch procedures and premium intraocular lens implants, including the Light Adjustable Lens, allowing post-surgery customization. Patients benefit from day-surgery convenience and rapid visual recovery at our dedicated outpatient center.
LASIK
LASIK procedures use the VISX Excimer Laser to reshape the cornea, reducing dependency on glasses or contacts. CustomVue LASIK and PRK options cater to varying corneal thicknesses. Our surgeons, among the most experienced in the region, offer free consultations and have performed thousands of procedures since 1985.
Dry Eye Treatment
Specialized dry eye treatments address chronic discomfort through holistic, personalized plans. The Dry Eye Center employs advanced diagnostics and therapies, including pharmaceutical consultations and lifestyle adjustments, to restore ocular health and improve daily comfort for patients with severe symptoms.
Glaucoma Management
Minimally invasive glaucoma surgeries and ongoing management focus on controlling intraocular pressure to prevent vision loss. Treatments include medication, laser therapy, and surgical options tailored to disease severity, leveraging the latest advancements in glaucoma care.
Cornea Transplant
Cornea transplantation replaces damaged tissue with donor grafts to restore vision. Surgeons perform traditional and advanced techniques, supported by the Northwest Louisiana Lions Eye Bank, which Dr. James Lusk co-founded to ensure tissue availability for transplants and treatments.
