Services
Cataract Surgery
Cataract surgery removes clouded natural lenses and replaces them with artificial intraocular lenses. Our fellowship-trained surgeons use advanced technology for precise implantation. Patients can choose from multiple IOL options to correct astigmatism, near vision, or both, reducing dependence on glasses. The 15-30 minute outpatient procedure offers rapid visual recovery and improved quality of vision.
LASIK Surgery
LASIK reshapes the cornea using two lasers to correct nearsightedness, farsightedness, and astigmatism. Our all-laser procedure takes about 10 minutes per eye with recovery typically completed within 24 hours. State-of-the-art technology ensures precise corneal reshaping. Ideal for patients seeking reduced dependence on glasses or contact lenses through a safe, FDA-approved procedure.
Glaucoma Surgery
Our glaucoma treatments include Selective Laser Trabeculoplasty and Laser Peripheral Iridotomy to improve fluid drainage. Minimally invasive options like iStent implantation and EndoCycloPhotocoagulation lower intraocular pressure during cataract surgery. These procedures address fluid buildup that damages optic nerves, helping prevent vision loss through targeted pressure management techniques.
Eyelid Surgery
Cosmetic and functional eyelid surgery addresses drooping or baggy eyelids through blepharoplasty procedures. Our surgeons perform upper lid lifts, ectropion and entropion repairs to improve both appearance and vision obstruction. The procedure removes excess skin and fat deposits while maintaining natural eye aesthetics through conservative, personalized surgical approaches.
Dry Eye Treatment
Specialized dry eye management addresses chronic discomfort from insufficient tear production or poor tear quality. Our optometrists employ advanced diagnostic tools to identify underlying causes and develop customized treatment plans. Solutions range from prescription medications to punctal plugs and amniotic membrane therapy, focusing on long-term relief rather than temporary artificial tear use.

Report
Surgery went well. No issues with or since the procedure. But the after care and scheduling has been inept. So much so that I have decided to ditch them and continue care with my optometrist. Feels as though once they get your money, they don't really care if they see you again.
