Services
Cataract Surgery
Cataract surgery at Advanced Eyecare utilizes premium multifocal lens implants to restore clear vision. Dr. Yohai employs advanced techniques, including minimally invasive procedures, to ensure faster recovery and improved visual outcomes. Patients benefit from personalized treatment plans tailored to their specific needs.
Glaucoma Care
Our glaucoma management includes both medical and surgical interventions to control intraocular pressure. Dr. Yohai pioneered canaloplasty in Northern California, offering a less invasive option for long-term disease management. Regular monitoring and customized therapies ensure optimal eye health for patients.
Cosmetic Eyelid Surgery
Cosmetic eyelid surgery addresses drooping eyelids and premature aging using super-pulsed carbon dioxide lasers. This technique minimizes bruising and accelerates recovery, allowing patients to resume daily activities quickly. Dr. Yohai's fellowship training ensures precise, natural-looking results.
LASIK
LASIK procedures correct refractive errors to reduce dependency on glasses or contacts. Advanced Eyecare employs laser technology for precise corneal reshaping, enhancing visual clarity with minimal discomfort. Comprehensive pre-operative evaluations ensure suitability for long-term success.
Diabetic Eye Exams
Specialized diabetic eye exams detect early signs of retinopathy and other diabetes-related complications. Regular screenings are critical for preventing vision loss, and our team provides timely interventions to maintain ocular health in diabetic patients.

Report
Dr. Yohai did my upper eyelid surgery a number of years ago, to reduce their size and weight. They were impairing my vision. Everything went very well. About two years ago, he did cataract surgery on one of my eyes which also went very well and which helped my vision in that eye. It was a more complicated, intricated surgery than the "normal" cataract surgery. Now I am going to have cataract surgery on my other eye. I have great confidence in his extensive knowledge and great skill. I also like that he has modern examination equipment of many types in his office for complete examinations

Report
Dr Yohai performed my cataract surgeries. I have a history that includes a childhood eye injury, which required painful & traumatizing surgery. To this day, I'm still very jumpy whenever anything gets close to my eyes. Dr Yohai was patient, calming, and did a spectacular job. I now see at nearly 20-20 & just donated my old glasses. I trust him to perform the ptosis surgery I will require. I can't say enough good things about him & his nurse, Jackie. Even his dog, Buddy, is a treat. Who'd have thought going to the eye doctor could be a pleasure?

Dr. Yohai deserves your considered judgment when selecting a cosmetic and eye surgeon.
He's quiet, unassuming, and doesn't promote himself like some of the expensive, well-marketed competitors that also do blepharoplasties at premium prices. You can select him with confidence because he is a highly experienced, skilled surgeon. He has performed several procedures for me including cataract surgery to implant trifocal panoptic inner ocular lenses. He is highly respected by hospital staff, unflappable and calm in the OR. He is perfectionistic about his work and strives to deliver optimal

Report
I went to Dr. Yohai due to severe double vision. After a thorough examination Dr. Yohai told me that I had significant strabismus in both eyes. A complicated situation that required surgery. The surgery is not lasik or computer assisted. Its success depends on the personal skill of the surgeon. What could be more perfect that a skilled surgeon who is a perfectionist! That's Dr. Yohai. My eyesight is excellent now. I highly recommend Dr. Yohai for all of your vision needs. He's the best!
