Cataract Surgery
Our advanced cataract surgery utilizes femtosecond laser technology and premium intraocular lenses to restore clear vision. Patients receive personalized treatment plans with pre-operative testing and post-operative care. The procedure effectively removes clouded lenses while offering options for correcting astigmatism and presbyopia through multifocal toric implants.
LASIK Procedures
Partnering with CS LASIK Institute, we offer bladeless iLASIK and PRK procedures for permanent vision correction. These FDA-approved treatments address myopia, hyperopia, and astigmatism using customized laser technology trusted by military and aerospace professionals. Financing options are available for qualified patients seeking reduced dependency on glasses.
Glaucoma Center
Our Glaucoma Center provides comprehensive management of open-angle and angle-closure glaucoma through medical, laser, and surgical interventions. Early detection using advanced diagnostic imaging helps prevent optic nerve damage. Treatment plans combine medication management with innovative surgical options like the Glaukos micro-invasive system for sustained intraocular pressure control.
Corneal Center
Specialized corneal care addresses conditions like keratoconus, corneal dystrophies, and infectious keratitis. Cross-Linking Therapy strengthens weakened corneas while specialty contact lens fittings optimize visual acuity. Our corneal specialists perform penetrating and endothelial keratoplasty procedures for advanced corneal disease.

Conveniently located within our clinics, our Optical Center offers premium eyewear solutions with personalized fittings.

Entire staff was very friendly and professional.
Dr.Cox was very honest and professional and the surgery she performed on my eye lid was done with great care,safely and professional. I really liked the procedure as it was done in 20 minutes but Dr.Cox made the atmosphere of the procedure very relaxing with a great choice of music to relax, enjoy and soothing.

Dr. Cox and her staff at Aesthetic & Surgical Institute clearly have a vision and went above and beyond to ensure it came to life during my visit. She took the time to discuss my different treatment options and advised me according to what I wanted. I left there looking like an enhanced version of myself with people asking me what I got done instead of giving me crazy looks. I also purchased Eminence and SkinCeutical products to incorporate into my skincare routine which has made such a difference already. This somewhere that isn't going to push unnecessary procedures on you but instead make sure

Every time I go in, the staff treats me as if I'm family and that's not something you see all the time. I've been to a few aesthetic centers in the area and this is by far the one I will always go back to. I receive derma-planing treatment every few months and I am spoiled by the results!
