LASIK Surgery
LASIK reshapes the cornea using a laser to correct nearsightedness, farsightedness, and astigmatism. Our VISX S4 Laser with CustomVue technology ensures precision, with 98% of patients achieving 20/20 vision or better. Ideal for active individuals seeking freedom from glasses or contacts, the procedure takes under 5 minutes per eye with rapid recovery.
Cataract Surgery
Cataract surgery removes clouded lenses and replaces them with artificial implants like Crystalens or ReSTOR. These advanced lenses restore clarity and address presbyopia, reducing dependency on glasses. The outpatient procedure uses phacoemulsification for quick healing and improved quality of vision for patients over 40.
Diabetic Eye Care
We specialize in managing diabetic retinopathy through comprehensive exams, fluorescein angiography, and laser treatments. Early detection prevents vision loss, and our team provides ongoing monitoring to address leakage or abnormal blood vessel growth in diabetic patients, ensuring long-term eye health.
BOTOX Injections
BOTOX Cosmetic reduces wrinkles by temporarily relaxing facial muscles. Administered via fine needles, it smooths crows feet and forehead lines for a refreshed appearance. Results last 34 months, with minimal discomfort and no downtime, making it a popular non-surgical option.
Glaucoma Management
Our glaucoma services include diagnostic testing, medicated eye drops, and laser therapy to manage intraocular pressure. Regular monitoring prevents optic nerve damage, preserving vision in patients with open-angle or angle-closure glaucoma through personalized, evidence-based treatment plans.

Questions
What is LASIK surgery?
LASIK corrects vision by reshaping the cornea using a laser, reducing dependency on glasses or contacts for nearsightedness, farsightedness, and astigmatism.
Am I a candidate for LASIK?
Candidates must be at least 18, have stable vision for a year, and healthy corneas. A free consultation determines eligibility using advanced diagnostics.
What alternatives exist if I'm not a LASIK candidate?
Options include PRK, ICL implants, Clear Lens Exchange, and Conductive Keratoplasty, tailored to individual eye health and vision needs.
How soon can I resume activities after LASIK?
Most patients return to work within 1–2 days, with full visual stabilization over several weeks, depending on healing and prescription complexity.
Does insurance cover LASIK?
Most insurers classify LASIK as elective, but flexible spending accounts (FSAs) or health savings accounts (HSAs) often cover costs.
What is the Malitz Method?
A proprietary technique analyzing thousands of corneal data points to optimize precision in laser vision correction, enhancing 20/20 outcomes.
