Advanced Refractive Cataract Surgery
Our advanced cataract surgery utilizes premium intraocular lenses to restore clear vision. This procedure addresses clouded lenses through precise removal and replacement with customized artificial lenses. Patients benefit from improved night vision, reduced glare, and enhanced color perception. The treatment combines laser precision with decades of surgical expertise to deliver optimal visual outcomes for South Jersey residents.
Custom Blade-Free LASIK
Our blade-free LASIK procedure uses advanced iLASIK technology for personalized vision correction. This all-laser approach treats refractive errors like nearsightedness and astigmatism with exceptional precision. Patients achieve reduced dependency on glasses or contacts through customized corneal reshaping. The procedure combines comprehensive pre-operative analysis with state-of-the-art laser technology for optimal visual outcomes.
Dry Eye Therapy
Our dry eye management employs advanced diagnostic tools to identify specific tear film deficiencies. Treatment options include prescription medications, punctal plugs, and in-office procedures to improve tear production and quality. Patients receive personalized care plans addressing environmental, physiological, and age-related factors. This comprehensive approach effectively alleviates discomfort and improves ocular surface health.
Glaucoma Management
Our glaucoma care combines early detection with progressive treatment strategies. We utilize advanced imaging and pressure monitoring to track disease progression. Treatment options include medicated drops, laser therapy, and surgical interventions tailored to individual patient needs. Our approach focuses on preserving optic nerve function and preventing vision loss through consistent monitoring and personalized care.
Pediatric Eye Care
We provide comprehensive eye exams and specialized treatments for children's vision development. Our services address amblyopia, strabismus, and learning-related vision problems. The team evaluates visual maturity and prescribes corrective lenses or vision therapy as needed.

Dr. Pernelli is an awful person, just ask the people who work for him. Just go down the street to his competitor and save yourself the trouble. Terrible establishment.

My first visit and I was impressed . Best eye exam I've ever had. I had a concern about my left eye and it turned out to be a bacteria from severe dry eyes. (Both eyes were checked ) I have no insurance and only needed lenses , which I felt were over priced . Everyone was kind and professional.

Ok where do I begin. Im 45 yrs old and have been using glasses since I was 8. Ive NEVER had a problem with glasses or a prescription not being right. I went to see Terrance K. Heacox, Jr., OD back in March and unbeknownst to me thats where all my problems began. First he does my eye exam and tells me not to get my bifocals at a Lens crafters because they dont always make them right. He said that if I wanted he was having someone (I forget what her name is ) open starting in a week that could fit me for glasses etc. I did just that. I got my glasses and mind you no discounts of any kind
