Services
Cataract Surgery
Cataract surgery removes clouded lenses and replaces them with intraocular lenses (IOLs) to restore clear vision. Our surgeons use femtosecond laser technology for precision, reducing ultrasound energy use. Patients typically regain sharp vision within a week. We offer multifocal and toric IOLs to correct nearsightedness, farsightedness, and astigmatism, minimizing dependence on glasses post-surgery.
LASIK Eye Surgery
LASIK reshapes the cornea to correct refractive errors like myopia, hyperopia, and astigmatism. Our bladeless LASIK uses Intralase technology for precise flap creation, enhancing safety and accuracy. CustomVue wavefront analysis tailors treatments to individual eye irregularities, achieving 20/20 vision in up to 98% of patients. The procedure takes under 20 minutes per eye, with rapid recovery.
Glaucoma Treatment
Glaucoma treatment focuses on lowering intraocular pressure to prevent optic nerve damage. Options include medicated eye drops, selective laser trabeculoplasty (SLT), and surgical interventions like trabeculectomy. Our team uses advanced diagnostics, including OCT nerve fiber analysis, to monitor progression. Early detection through regular exams is critical to preserving vision.
Contact Lenses
We provide contact lens exams and fittings for corrective and cosmetic needs. Our optometrist, Felicia Donnolo, OD, specializes in daily disposables, extended-wear, and specialty lenses for keratoconus. Proper fitting ensures comfort and reduces infection risks. We offer guidance on care routines and replacement schedules tailored to individual eye health.
Eye Exams
Comprehensive eye exams assess vision and ocular health, including glaucoma and macular degeneration screenings. Our ophthalmologists perform dilated exams, visual acuity tests, and intraocular pressure measurements. Annual exams are recommended for patients over 50 or those with diabetes. On-site diagnostics enable immediate evaluation of retinal and corneal conditions.
