Services
Cataract Surgery
Cataract surgery removes clouded natural lenses and implants advanced intraocular lenses to restore vision. We offer premium options including toric, multifocal, and laser-assisted techniques. Our board-certified surgeons use cutting-edge technology to minimize dependence on glasses post-surgery while ensuring rapid recovery and optimal visual outcomes.
Laser Vision Correction
LASIK, PRK, and LASEK procedures reshape corneas to correct refractive errors. Our Wavelight Allegretto laser system reduces night vision side effects while treating nearsightedness, farsightedness, and astigmatism. Comprehensive consultations determine candidacy for monovision correction and customized treatment plans to achieve lasting visual clarity.
Eyelid Surgery
Functional and cosmetic eyelid procedures address excess skin, herniated fat, and muscle weakness causing vision obstruction or aesthetic concerns. Dr. Henrick performs blepharoplasty under local anesthesia to restore natural contours, improve peripheral vision, and achieve refreshed appearances with minimal downtime and natural-looking results.
Glaucoma Treatment
We diagnose and manage open-angle and closed-angle glaucoma through medication, laser trabeculoplasty, and surgical interventions. Our comprehensive approach includes regular intraocular pressure monitoring, optic nerve assessments, and personalized treatment plans to prevent vision loss while maintaining patient comfort and quality of life.
Eye Exams
Comprehensive eye examinations detect early signs of ocular diseases and systemic conditions. Our evaluations include visual acuity testing, refraction analysis, and advanced diagnostic imaging to assess eye health, determine corrective lens prescriptions, and screen for LASIK eligibility or age-related vision changes in a thorough, patient-centered manner.
