Services
LASIK Surgery
LASIK eye surgery permanently reshapes the cornea to correct nearsightedness, farsightedness, and astigmatism. Our board-certified surgeons use advanced laser technology for personalized vision correction, with most patients achieving 20/20 vision or better. The procedure takes less than 30 minutes per eye with rapid recovery, allowing patients to return to normal activities within days while enjoying long-term visual freedom from glasses and contacts.
Cataract Surgery
Our premium cataract surgery removes clouded natural lenses and replaces them with advanced intraocular lenses. Using laser-assisted technology, we treat vision impairment caused by cataracts while correcting pre-existing refractive errors. Patients benefit from improved color perception, reduced glare, and enhanced night vision through customized lens selection, with most experiencing significant visual improvement within 24 hours of the outpatient procedure.
Glaucoma Treatment
We offer comprehensive glaucoma management including early detection through optic nerve imaging and intraocular pressure testing. Treatment options range from medicated eye drops to minimally invasive surgical procedures that improve fluid drainage. Our specialists create personalized treatment plans to prevent optic nerve damage and preserve peripheral vision, with regular monitoring to adjust interventions as needed for long-term disease control.
Pediatric Eye Care
Our pediatric ophthalmologists provide comprehensive eye exams and treatment for children from infancy through adolescence. We specialize in diagnosing and managing amblyopia, strabismus, and developmental vision issues using child-friendly techniques. Early intervention services include vision therapy and corrective lenses tailored to young patients' needs, ensuring proper visual development that supports academic performance and overall quality of life.
Oculoplastic Surgery
Our fellowship-trained oculoplastic surgeons perform functional and cosmetic eyelid procedures to correct drooping eyelids, remove excess skin, and address tear duct obstructions. These surgeries improve both appearance and visual function while maintaining natural facial expressions. We also offer non-surgical alternatives like Botox and dermal fillers for comprehensive facial rejuvenation options.

Report
Came to Sight MD today and was told i owe 50 bill for no show. I can not recall. Told them i need to research this. The girl at front desk say loud the the other worker "you know when you miss a appointment". While there are ppl in the waiting room. I lost it! She was rude, unprofessional and talked my business aloud. There is no supervisor available. When i get loud to address it I'm told I'm wrong. Sometimes the assumption is that because you are the patient and loud you are the problem. I've been coming here for years and never experienced such nastiness.

It was already afternoon when I was referred to see an ophthalmologist ASAP so I looked around , checked out some ratings/reviews, and, as well as this particular office being fairly near me (they have a few in NYC), I was actually able/lucky to get an appointment later that day as my issue was emergent! When I got there, with no excessive paperwork and just a slight wait as a new patient, An assistant took me into an exam room and took my details, issues & history, and double-checked my vision to make sure my symptoms/issue weren't also affecting my overall eyesight: I waited a short time more

They never confirmed my appointment but when I didnt show up, they keep texting me saying I have a balance of no show fee and when I tried to call them through the number they provided (the same one which they comment on under similar negative reviews as mine) they just told me they would call back and resolve this and they never did. This is a scandal and I highly recommend everyone avoid this place.

I had to cancel my appointment. I called two days prior to cancel and was told it was taken care of. The next day I received a call to confirm appointment as well as a text - I responded to both that I could not keep the appointment. Then I started getting bills and texts stating I owe a "no call, no show" fee. I tried calling billing 4x and left two messages over two weeks time - no one answered or called me back. I'm still getting texts. Super unprofessional.
