Services
Cataract Surgery
We perform advanced cataract extraction with intraocular lens implantation to restore vision clarity. Our surgeons use both traditional phacoemulsification and bladeless laser techniques for personalized treatment. This procedure addresses clouded lenses caused by aging, injury, or medical conditions, with over 90% success rates in vision restoration.
LenSX Laser
Our FDA-approved LenSx femtosecond laser system enhances cataract surgery precision through 3D imaging and computer-guided incisions. This technology improves astigmatism correction and enables smaller incisions for faster recovery. Patients benefit from reduced surgical trauma and potentially decreased dependence on corrective lenses post-surgery.
Corneal Transplant
We specialize in penetrating and lamellar keratoplasty procedures to replace damaged corneal tissue with healthy donor material. This treatment restores vision for patients with corneal clouding from dystrophies, injuries, or previous surgeries. Our comprehensive post-operative care includes specialized eye drops and long-term monitoring to prevent graft rejection.
Uveitis Treatment
Our specialists diagnose and manage uveitis through comprehensive evaluations and targeted therapies. We treat anterior, intermediate, and posterior uveitis using corticosteroids, immunosuppressants, and infection-specific medications. Our approach focuses on reducing inflammation, preventing vision loss, and addressing underlying autoimmune or infectious causes.
