Services
Cataract Surgery
Cataract surgery removes clouded lenses and replaces them with intraocular lenses to restore clear vision. We offer standard and premium lens options for customized outcomes. Our surgeons use phacoemulsification techniques with rapid recovery times.
Cornea Surgery
Corneal transplants replace damaged corneal tissue with donor tissue to improve vision. We perform full-thickness and partial-thickness transplants like DSAEK for faster healing. Post-operative steroid therapy ensures graft success.
Glaucoma Treatment
Our glaucoma care includes medicated drops, laser trabeculoplasty, and surgical interventions to reduce intraocular pressure. We specialize in minimally invasive glaucoma surgeries (MIGS) for enhanced safety and recovery.
Diabetic Eye Care
We diagnose and treat diabetes-related eye conditions through comprehensive exams and advanced imaging. Services include monitoring for retinal changes, managing macular edema, and coordinating systemic care with primary physicians.
Dry Eye Management
Our dry eye treatments address tear production and quality issues through artificial tears, prescription medications, and punctal occlusion. We identify underlying causes like environmental factors or systemic diseases for targeted relief.
