Services
Cataract Surgery
Our cataract surgery removes clouded lenses and replaces them with advanced intraocular implants. Using laser-guided precision and dropless techniques, we restore clear vision with minimal recovery time. Patients benefit from customized solutions like multifocal or toric IOLs to address astigmatism and presbyopia, ensuring long-term visual clarity and reduced dependency on glasses.
Glaucoma Treatment
We manage glaucoma through medicated drops, laser therapy, and minimally invasive surgeries like iStent implantation. Our approach focuses on reducing intraocular pressure to prevent optic nerve damage. Regular monitoring and tailored treatment plans help patients maintain stable vision and slow disease progression using the latest diagnostic and therapeutic technologies.
Macular Degeneration Therapy
Our treatments for macular degeneration include nutritional supplements, laser therapy, and anti-VEGF injections to slow disease progression. We emphasize early detection through advanced imaging to preserve central vision. Personalized care plans address both dry and wet forms of the condition, supporting long-term retinal health and visual function.
LASIK Surgery
LASIK at Wiles Eye Center reshapes the cornea to correct nearsightedness, farsightedness, and astigmatism. Using precise laser technology, we deliver rapid, lasting results with minimal discomfort. Comprehensive pre-operative evaluations ensure candidates achieve optimal outcomes, often eliminating the need for glasses or contacts in active lifestyles.
Dry Eye Treatment
We address dry eye through lifestyle adjustments, prescription medications, and in-office therapies like LipiFlow. Our team identifies underlying causes, such as meibomian gland dysfunction, to provide targeted relief. Advanced diagnostics ensure effective management of symptoms like irritation and blurred vision, improving overall ocular comfort and health.
