Services
Cataract Surgery
Our advanced cataract surgery utilizes premium intraocular lenses and phacoemulsification technology to restore clear vision. Patients benefit from same-day procedures with rapid recovery times. Our surgeons have performed thousands of successful cataract operations since pioneering the technique in Maryland.
LASIK Vision Correction
Custom LASIK procedures employ wavefront-guided technology for precise vision correction. We offer blade-free options and advanced surface ablation techniques to address nearsightedness, farsightedness, and astigmatism with exceptional safety profiles.
Glaucoma Management
Comprehensive glaucoma care combines early detection through optic nerve imaging with tailored treatment plans. We utilize selective laser trabeculoplasty and minimally invasive surgical options to preserve vision and control intraocular pressure.
Retina Care
Specialists treat macular degeneration, diabetic retinopathy, and retinal detachments using anti-VEGF injections, laser photocoagulation, and vitrectomy surgery. Our team has decades of experience managing complex posterior segment conditions.
Dry Eye Therapy
Multimodal dry eye management includes TearCare system treatments, punctal plugs, and prescription medications. We address meibomian gland dysfunction through thermal pulsation therapy and customized lubrication regimens.
