Eyelid Surgery
Specialized eyelid surgery corrects functional and cosmetic issues using advanced techniques. Our no-stitch lower eyelid procedure requires only one office visit with rapid recovery. We address drooping eyelids, ectropion, entropion, and post-surgical revisions. Patients report improved appearance and vision clarity following treatment.
Diabetic Eye Care
Comprehensive monitoring of diabetes-related eye changes using non-invasive imaging technology. We track retinal vessel health to prevent vision loss through early intervention. Regular evaluations help maintain ocular health and systemic disease management.
Macular Degeneration
Advanced diagnostic imaging detects early macular changes before symptoms appear. Our OCT technology creates 3D retinal maps guiding personalized treatment plans. Early detection allows intervention to slow disease progression and preserve vision.
Glaucoma Treatment
Painless glaucoma screening identifies risk factors through comprehensive testing. We offer multiple treatment options to control intraocular pressure and prevent vision loss. Regular monitoring ensures effective disease management over time.

Dr. Steiner and his staff are first rate when it comes to professionalism, knowledge, and patient care. Ive gone the whole route with Dr. Steiner, from glasses, to contacts, to cataract surgery and aftercare. I was confident every step of the way that what was recommended or prescribed was the best for my situation.

Dr. Steiner has 30 years experience in opthalmology and he specializes in cosmetic eyelid surgery. Dr Steiner and his staff are absolutely fantastic. I could not be more happy about the job they did on my eyelids. They took great care of me and made sure this entire process was as comfortable as possible. I highly recommend Dr Steiner if you need eyelid surgery or eye care. I look much younger. Excellent work and thank you.

Dr. Steiner and his staff are so wonderful to work with. Dr. Steiner is such an expert and he did an excellent job on my upper eyelids. He ended up correcting another surgeon's work and I can not be happier. His staff is warm and knowledgeable. I wholeheartedly recommend this office.

Dr. Steiner is the BEST!! I went into his office almost blind, after many years of trying with other doctors with glasses and contact lenses that NEVER worked! Dr Steiner was the first one to take the time to figure out how monovision can work for me. Now I can see great faraway and I see great close up for comupter. I have recommended him to my family and friends to go to see this doctor.

Before that I became Dr. Steiners patient I was a long-term patient of Dr. M.M. at his Clearview Eye & Laser PLLC Burien clinic, because of my serious problems with my eyes as; damaged vision, strong and constant pain in my left eye especially in the morning hours, blood pressure and allergy

Dr. Steiner is the most qualified, educated and fabulous ophthalmologist. He is the only eye doctor I will go to from now on, period. I had my cataract surgery done by a different doctor. Afterwards, my right eye was constantly tearing. This doctor had to refer me to another eye doctor in valley hospital and they told me I needed another surgery! I was terrified!
Luckily, I met Dr Steiner, whom was highly recommended by my coworker. I went in for a second opinion. Dr Steiner spent a good 45 mins with me and explained everything. Afterwards, he wrote down a prescription eyedrop for me to try out
