Cataract Surgery
Cataract surgery removes clouded lenses and replaces them with implants to restore clear vision. We offer premium options like multifocal and toric lenses for reduced dependence on glasses. Dr. Singh performs thousands of procedures annually using advanced techniques including LenSx laser technology. Patients benefit from personalized consultations to determine optimal implant choices based on lifestyle needs and visual goals.
LASIK
LASIK reshapes the cornea to correct refractive errors like nearsightedness and astigmatism. Our surgeons use precise laser technology for quick, minimally invasive procedures that typically take 10 minutes per eye. Comprehensive pre-operative evaluations ensure candidates receive tailored treatment plans. Post-operative care includes follow-up visits to monitor healing and visual acuity improvements.
Comprehensive Eye Exams
These exams assess vision quality, eye health, and systemic conditions affecting ocular wellness. Diagnostic tools screen for diseases like glaucoma and macular degeneration during early, treatable stages. Frequency recommendations vary by age and risk factors, with annual checks advised for contact lens wearers and patients with chronic conditions like diabetes.
Glaucoma Treatment
Our practice offers medical and surgical interventions to control intraocular pressure associated with glaucoma. Treatments include prescription eye drops, laser therapy, and microsurgery to prevent optic nerve damage. Regular monitoring ensures timely adjustments to treatment plans, preserving vision through early intervention and ongoing management.
Diabetic Eye Care
Specialized evaluations detect diabetes-related complications like retinopathy and macular edema. We provide regular screenings to monitor vascular changes and implement treatments such as anti-VEGF injections or laser photocoagulation. Coordinated care with primary physicians helps maintain ocular health alongside systemic diabetes management.

How do I prepare for cataract surgery?
Complete pre-operative testing, arrange transportation, and follow medication instructions. Discuss implant lens options with your surgeon to align with lifestyle needs.
What post-operative care is required after LASIK?
Use prescribed eye drops, avoid rubbing eyes, and attend follow-up visits. Most patients resume normal activities within a few days with improved vision clarity.
Are premium lens implants worth the cost?
Premium lenses reduce dependence on glasses for many patients. Your surgeon will discuss benefits versus costs during consultation to determine if they align with your visual goals.

Every 1-3 years depending on age and risk factors. Contact lens wearers and patients with chronic conditions like diabetes require annual exams for optimal eye health monitoring.
