Services
Cataract Surgery
Modern cataract surgery removes clouded lenses using micro-incisions and replaces them with intraocular lenses. Our specialists use femtosecond lasers for precision, enabling rapid recovery and improved vision. Patients resume normal activities within a day, with options for premium lenses correcting astigmatism or multifocal vision.
Glaucoma Treatment
We diagnose and manage glaucoma through advanced testing like corneal thickness analysis and visual field exams. Treatment includes medicated drops, laser therapy, and minimally invasive surgeries to regulate intraocular pressure and prevent optic nerve damage.
Retina Services
Our retina specialists treat conditions like macular degeneration, diabetic retinopathy, and retinal detachments. Using OCT-A imaging and intraocular injections, we preserve vision through early detection and interventions tailored to each patient's needs.
Dry Eye Management
We address chronic dry eye through comprehensive evaluations of tear composition and eyelid health. Treatments include artificial tears, punctal plugs, and BlephEx procedures to improve tear quality and reduce discomfort.
Oculoplastics
Our fellowship-trained oculoplastic surgeon performs reconstructive and cosmetic procedures for eyelid disorders. Services include blepharoplasty, ptosis repair, and BOTOX injections to enhance both function and appearance.

Questions
What is cataract surgery?
Cataract surgery removes the clouded lens and replaces it with an artificial intraocular lens. The procedure takes 20-30 minutes and uses micro-incisions for rapid healing.
How is glaucoma detected?
Glaucoma is detected through tests measuring intraocular pressure, optic nerve appearance, and visual field changes. Early diagnosis prevents vision loss.
What causes dry eye?
Dry eye results from insufficient tear production or poor tear quality. Factors include aging, medications, and conditions like Sjogren's syndrome.
Do you offer financing options?
Yes, patient financing is available for qualifying procedures to make treatments more accessible.
What areas do you serve?
We primarily serve New York City, with patients traveling from surrounding regions for specialized eye care.
