Services
Cataract Surgery
We treat age-related lens clouding using femtosecond laser technology for precise incisions and astigmatism correction. Our microincisional technique requires no stitches in most cases, with same-day procedures and customized intraocular lens implants. Patients benefit from improved visual acuity and reduced dependency on glasses post-surgery.
Glaucoma Treatment
Our specialists diagnose and manage progressive optic nerve damage through advanced imaging and pressure monitoring. Treatment options include medicated eye drops, laser therapy, and surgical interventions tailored to individual needs. We emphasize patient education about disease progression and long-term management strategies to preserve vision.
Corneal Transplants
We perform full-thickness and partial-layer corneal transplants using donor tissue from accredited eye banks. Advanced techniques like DSEK/DMEK enable faster recovery with reduced rejection risks. Our surgeons specialize in treating corneal injuries, dystrophies, and post-cataract swelling with personalized surgical approaches.
Comprehensive Eye Exams
Our evaluations assess visual acuity, refractive errors, and ocular health through dilated pupil examinations. We detect early signs of diseases like macular degeneration and diabetic retinopathy while providing accurate prescriptions for glasses or contact lenses. Annual exams are recommended for all age groups.
Contact Lenses
We offer customized contact lens fittings for various vision needs including astigmatism and presbyopia. Our specialists guide patients through lens material options and proper hygiene practices. The service includes follow-up evaluations to ensure optimal comfort and corneal health with contact wear.
