Cataract Surgery
Our board-certified surgeons perform advanced cataract removal with premium intraocular lens options like Crystalens, ReStor, and ReZoom. We utilize modern phacoemulsification techniques for faster recovery and improved visual outcomes. Patients receive comprehensive pre-operative evaluations and post-operative care to ensure optimal results.
Laser Vision Correction
We offer state-of-the-art LASIK and PRK procedures using precision laser technology for permanent vision correction. Our specialists conduct thorough eye exams to determine candidacy and develop customized treatment plans. The procedure addresses myopia, hyperopia, and astigmatism with minimal discomfort and quick recovery times.
Contact Lens Fitting
Our full-time contact lens shop provides specialty fittings for complex prescriptions including keratoconus, astigmatism, and presbyopia. We offer diagnostic lens trials, insertion training, and follow-up evaluations. Available options include high-oxygen permeable materials, sports tints, and both daily wear and extended wear lenses.
Glaucoma Treatment
We diagnose and manage open-angle and angle-closure glaucoma through comprehensive eye exams and advanced imaging. Treatment options include medicated eye drops, laser trabeculoplasty, and surgical interventions. Regular monitoring helps prevent optic nerve damage and vision loss through early intervention.

Ive been a patient of Eye Consultants for years. I get my eye exams from Dr. Spitzer. The office is very busy and I have to wait a long time to see the doctor. Other than that, I like the office. The optician, Stacey, is friendly and helpful. She always has time to adjust my glasses and help me find new frames. She is the best!

My visit was fine, but the wait between the second and third stage (after having pictures of my optic nerve taken and being seen by my doctor) was quite long, a good half hour. It would be good if your office would try to avoid such long waiting times.

Let me first say I have never met more friendly front desk! Very professional. A caring hello and welcoming atmosphere. I soon felt very at ease for my appointment. A reflection of Dr Coli is this reception desk. I know I will suggest Syracuse Eye Consultants to friends and family!

A-1 organization. Technicians are courteous and highly competent. Easy check in and minimal wait times. I have had Two surgeries by Dr DiVincentis which were very successful, well organized and nicely executed. I have been a patient of this organization for about 15 years and am well satisfied.
