Services
Cataract Surgery
One of the most exciting and important developments in both refractive and cataract surgery is the use of bifocal (multi-focal and pseudo-accommodating) lens implants.
LASIK
Laser vision correction is a brief, comfortable, highly advanced outpatient procedure in which the cornea is reshaped through the use of an excimer laser.
Glaucoma
Lowering eye pressure has been proven to slow or halt progression of glaucoma. Your doctor will determine an eye pressure target based on the initial eye pressure and the amount of damage present.
Lens Implant Options
A lens implant replaces your natural lens. It is made out of acrylic or silicone and will last for the rest of your life.
Routine Vision Exams
Eye care starts with routine examinations. Our complete examination will reveal any eye problems, even hidden ones you may not be aware of.
Presbyopia Surgery
Presbyopia is part of the natural aging process which requires all people to need reading glasses for near activities sometime after age 40. Surgical options to reduce our dependency on reading glasses are divided into two categories: procedures which result in monovision, and clear lens extraction, in which a bifocal artificial lens may be implanted in each eye of qualified patients.
PRK (Photorefractive Keratectomy)
PRK (Photorefractive Keratectomy) is a minimally invasive laser surgery procedure, which, similar to LASIK, reshapes the cornea in order to correct refractive errors such as nearsightedness, far sightedness, astigmatism, and presbyopia (need for reading glasses).
