Services
Cataract Surgery
Our cataract surgery removes clouded lenses using advanced micro-incision techniques with options for premium intraocular lens implants. Patients benefit from rapid recovery times and reduced dependency on glasses post-surgery. Our surgeons specialize in both standard and laser-assisted procedures to ensure optimal visual outcomes.
LASIK Surgery
Custom LASIK procedures reshape the cornea using femtosecond and excimer laser technology for precise vision correction. Most patients achieve 20/20 vision within days, with minimal discomfort and rapid return to daily activities. Our experienced surgeons ensure personalized treatment plans for optimal results.
Corneal Services
Specialized corneal care includes cross-linking for keratoconus and advanced transplant techniques like DSAEK. Our fellowship-trained corneal specialist provides expert diagnosis and treatment for complex corneal conditions between Redding and Sacramento.
Cosmetic Services
Non-surgical cosmetic treatments include FDA-approved BOTOX and dermal fillers to reduce facial wrinkles. Our board-certified physicians ensure natural-looking results while maintaining facial expression integrity through precise injection techniques.
