LASIK Surgery
LASIK surgery permanently reshapes the cornea to correct nearsightedness, farsightedness, and astigmatism. Our advanced Alcon WaveLight EX500 Excimer Laser system creates precise corneal adjustments using Perfect Pulse technology that tracks eye movement 400 times per second. Patients typically achieve 20/20 vision or better, with most returning to normal activities within 24 hours. The procedure takes less than 10 minutes per eye with numbing drops eliminating discomfort.
Cataract Surgery
Our no shot/no-stitch cataract surgery removes clouded lenses using ultrasound energy through a minimally invasive incision. The procedure replaces natural lenses with artificial intraocular lenses (IOLs), including advanced lifestyle lens options that correct both distance and reading vision. Performed with topical anesthesia, the 15-minute procedure requires no injections or stitches, with most patients experiencing improved vision within 24 hours and complete recovery in 4-6 weeks.
Diabetic Eye Care
We specialize in diagnosing and treating diabetic retinopathy and macular edema through comprehensive eye exams and OCT imaging. Our treatment options include EYLEA injections to control vascular leakage and laser surgery to seal leaking blood vessels. Regular monitoring helps prevent vision loss in 90% of cases when detected early. We coordinate care with primary care physicians to manage systemic diabetes factors affecting eye health.
Glaucoma Management
Our glaucoma specialists use optical coherence tomography (OCT) for early detection of optic nerve damage caused by elevated intraocular pressure. Treatment options include prescription medications, laser trabeculoplasty, and minimally invasive surgical procedures. We offer personalized management plans combining medication regimens, regular visual field testing, and lifestyle modifications to prevent disease progression and preserve vision.
Contact Lens Care
Our optometrists provide comprehensive contact lens fittings and care instruction to prevent infections and corneal complications. We offer specialty lenses for astigmatism, presbyopia, and irregular corneas, along with enzymatic cleaners for protein removal. Patient education emphasizes proper hygiene practices, solution compatibility, and replacement schedules to maintain ocular health while using corrective lenses.

Questions
What vision problems can LASIK correct?
LASIK effectively treats nearsightedness, farsightedness, and astigmatism by reshaping the cornea to properly focus light on the retina for clear vision.
Is cataract surgery painful?
Our no shot/no-stitch cataract surgery uses topical anesthesia with eye drops, making the procedure virtually painless with only minor pressure sensation during treatment.
How often should diabetics get eye exams?
Diabetic patients should schedule comprehensive eye exams annually, or more frequently if recommended following detection of retinopathy or macular edema symptoms.
What financing options are available?
We offer flexible financing through CareCredit and other medical lending partners, plus FSA/HSA compatibility for vision correction procedures like LASIK and cataract surgery.
Can glaucoma be prevented?
While not preventable, early detection through regular eye exams enables effective management using medications, laser treatments, or minimally invasive surgeries to preserve vision.
