Services
LASIK Surgery
LASIK surgery permanently reshapes the cornea using FDA-approved lasers to reduce dependency on glasses or contact lenses. Our iLASIK Suite includes advanced technology for precise corrections of nearsightedness, farsightedness, and astigmatism. Patients benefit from rapid recovery, financial freedom from visual aids, and personalized consultations to determine candidacy.
Cataract Surgery
Cataract surgery removes clouded natural lenses and replaces them with intraocular lenses using laser-assisted technology. Options include premium lenses like the Light Adjustable Lens and PanOptix trifocal lens. The outpatient procedure takes 20 minutes with rapid visual improvement, offering solutions for glare, blurred vision, and light sensitivity caused by cataracts.
Diabetic Retinopathy
Diabetic retinopathy treatment addresses microaneurysms and macular edema caused by diabetes. Early detection through annual exams prevents severe vision loss. Advanced interventions include anti-VEGF injections and laser therapy to stabilize vision and prevent progression, supported by education on blood sugar management to mitigate complications.
Glaucoma Treatment
Glaucoma management focuses on preserving optic nerve function through eye drops, laser therapy, and minimally invasive surgeries. Regular monitoring detects elevated intraocular pressure before irreversible damage occurs. Treatment plans address risk factors like family history and corneal thickness to prevent blindness in patients over 65.
Low Vision Care
Low vision services maximize remaining vision using magnifiers, telescopes, and adaptive technologies for patients with macular degeneration or glaucoma. Bioptic telescopes enable driving eligibility in Nebraska. Customized rehabilitation includes home modifications and training to enhance independence for those with 20/70 or worse visual acuity.

I had cataract surgery and purchased a costly lens to improve my vision. First they tried to tell me I didn't get it and only after an added exam did they find that I did get it. This lens that was inserted has made my vision worse than it was.

Wonderful experience. Dr. Krings was great! She explained what she was doing and the results. She was patient and made sure I understood what's happening. I had an opportunity to ask questions. I would highly recommend Dr. Krings.
