LASIK
LASIK surgery at Levinson Eye Clinic offers permanent vision correction for patients with nearsightedness, farsightedness, or astigmatism. Our board-certified ophthalmologists use advanced laser technology to reshape the cornea, reducing dependency on glasses or contacts. With over 9,000 procedures performed since 1996, we prioritize safety and precision for lasting results.
PRK
PRK (Photorefractive Keratectomy) provides an alternative to LASIK for patients with thin corneas or other eligibility concerns. This surface ablation procedure removes the outer corneal layer to correct vision issues. Our experienced surgeons guide patients through pre-operative assessments and post-surgery recovery for optimal outcomes.
Cataract Surgery
Cataract surgery removes clouded lenses and replaces them with intraocular implants to restore clear vision. Dr. Levinson performs advanced techniques, including multifocal and toric IOLs, to address astigmatism and presbyopia. Over 6,000 successful surgeries highlight our commitment to precision and patient education.
Routine Eye Care
Comprehensive eye exams detect vision changes and screen for diseases like glaucoma and macular degeneration. Our team provides contact lens fittings, glasses prescriptions, and pediatric eye care. Regular checkups are recommended every 1-2 years depending on age and risk factors.
Glaucoma Treatment
Glaucoma management includes medicated eye drops, laser therapy (SLT), and regular monitoring to prevent optic nerve damage. Our clinic diagnoses open-angle and angle-closure glaucoma through tonometry and dilated exams. Early intervention helps preserve vision for high-risk patients.

Love this place, they work with patients tirelessly and are skillful, talented and efficient. Look into a PRK, if your vision is blurry or you have astigmatism. They make the procedure easy and understandable, and a breeze. Go see Dr. Levinson!

Report
I had PRK surgery with Dr. Levinson in January 2019. The procedure itself was quick and easy. I do not think I was ever in pain during the healing process, though, I can say I was a bit bored without being able to read. While the healing process takes quite a while, now that I am 7 weeks out, I couldn't be happier. I love that I do not have to worry about contacts or glasses. I can see very well and think I will continue to improve. Dr. Levinson and his crew are professional, helpful and answer questions and concerns with great empathy.
