Services
LASIK Surgery
LASIK laser vision correction treats nearsightedness, farsightedness, and astigmatism using advanced excimer laser technology. Our bladeless procedures create precise corneal flaps for improved visual acuity without glasses. Custom wavefront-guided treatments optimize outcomes for patients seeking long-term vision independence through minimally invasive outpatient surgery.
Cataract Surgery
Laser-assisted cataract surgery removes clouded natural lenses and implants premium intraocular lenses for improved vision. We utilize femtosecond lasers for precise incisions and offer multifocal/toric implants to correct presbyopia and astigmatism. This outpatient procedure restores visual clarity for patients experiencing age-related lens opacity.
Glaucoma Treatment
Our comprehensive glaucoma care includes medication management, laser trabeculoplasty, and minimally invasive surgical options like iStent and Hydrus Microstent. We specialize in combined cataract-glaucoma procedures and utilize advanced diagnostics to monitor optic nerve health and intraocular pressure for preventing vision loss.
Dry Eye Therapy
Dry eye management combines LipiFlow thermal pulsation for meibomian gland dysfunction with Prokera amniotic membrane therapy for severe cases. We offer BlephEx lid exfoliation for blepharitis and prescribe Restasis medications to increase tear production for patients experiencing chronic ocular surface discomfort.
Corneal Transplants
Corneal grafting procedures replace damaged corneal tissue with donor grafts for conditions like keratoconus and corneal dystrophies. We perform both full-thickness penetrating keratoplasty and selective lamellar transplants to restore corneal clarity and visual function for patients with compromised anterior eye structures.

Questions
What advanced technologies do you use for eye surgeries?
We utilize femtosecond lasers for cataract surgery, excimer lasers for LASIK, and implantable microstents for glaucoma treatment. Our diagnostic equipment includes optical coherence tomography and corneal topography systems for precise preoperative assessment.
Do you offer combined cataract and glaucoma procedures?
Yes, we perform combined surgeries using iStent, Hydrus Microstent, and OMNI Canaloplasty systems during cataract extraction to address both conditions simultaneously while reducing intraocular pressure.
What premium lens implant options are available?
We offer multifocal, toric, and extended depth-of-focus lenses including PanOptix, enVista, and EVO ICL implants to correct astigmatism, presbyopia, and myopia for reduced dependence on corrective eyewear.
How do you treat chronic dry eye conditions?
Our dry eye center employs LipiFlow thermal pulsation for meibomian gland dysfunction, Prokera amniotic membrane therapy for severe cases, and BlephEx lid exfoliation for managing blepharitis and ocular surface inflammation.
Are your surgeons fellowship-trained in specialized eye care?
Our lead surgeon completed fellowship training in cornea and external disease, maintaining expertise in complex anterior segment surgeries and management of rare ocular surface disorders through continued medical education.
What diagnostic imaging services do you provide?
We offer optical coherence tomography (OCT) for retinal assessment, corneal topography for surface mapping, and anterior segment imaging for evaluating cataracts and glaucoma drainage structures using state-of-the-art diagnostic equipment.
