Services

• Cataract Surgery – Cataract surgery is a common procedure to remove the clouded natural lens of the eye and replace it with a clear artificial intraocular lens (IOL). It is typically performed on an outpatient basis and involves making a tiny incision in the eye to extract the cataract and insert the new lens. The surgery aims to restore clear vision impaired by the cataract. Patients usually experience improved eyesight and reduced glare/halos after the procedure.
• Eye Exams – Comprehensive eye exams assess a patient’s visual acuity, refractive errors, eye health, and overall eye function. They involve tests like visual acuity measurements, refraction assessment, slit-lamp examination, and dilated pupil inspection. The exam helps detect vision problems, eye diseases, and other conditions that may require treatment or management. Regular eye exams are important for maintaining good vision and identifying issues early.
• LASIK Eye Surgery – LASIK is a popular laser eye surgery that corrects refractive errors like nearsightedness, farsightedness, and astigmatism. It works by reshaping the cornea, the clear front part of the eye, using an excimer laser. This changes the way the eye focuses light, reducing or eliminating the need for glasses or contacts. LASIK is considered safe and effective, with most patients experiencing significant improvement in their uncorrected vision after the procedure.
• Glaucoma – Glaucoma is an eye disease caused by increased pressure within the eye, which can damage the optic nerve and lead to vision loss if left untreated. Common forms include open-angle glaucoma and angle-closure glaucoma. Treatment focuses on lowering intraocular pressure, often with prescription eye drops, oral medications, laser procedures, or surgery. Early detection and consistent management are crucial to prevent permanent vision damage from glaucoma.
• Dry Eye Treatment – Dry eye is a chronic condition where the eyes don’t produce enough tears or the tears evaporate too quickly, leading to eye discomfort and potential vision problems. Treatments can include prescription eye drops to increase tear production, tear duct plugs to retain tears, warm compresses and eyelid massages to improve tear quality, and other therapies to lubricate and protect the eyes.
• Retina Eye Services – The retina is the light-sensitive tissue at the back of the eye that converts light into electrical signals for the brain to interpret as vision. Retinal specialists diagnose and manage a variety of retinal conditions, such as age-related macular degeneration, diabetic retinopathy, retinal detachment, and other sight-threatening diseases. Advanced diagnostic imaging like optical coherence tomography (OCT) is used, along with laser treatments, injections, and surgical procedures as needed to preserve and restore vision.
• Cornea – The cornea is the clear, curved front part of the eye that focuses light. Corneal specialists evaluate and treat conditions like keratoconus (a thinning and irregular curvature of the cornea), corneal infections, scars, and dystrophies. Treatments can range from specialty contact lenses and corneal cross-linking to corneal transplant surgery, depending on the severity of the condition.
• Eyelid Surgery – Procedures on the eyelids may be needed to address functional or cosmetic issues. This can include surgery to correct drooping upper eyelids (ptosis), remove benign or cancerous growths, repair eyelid deformities, and improve the appearance of aging or tired-looking eyes. Eyelid surgeries are often outpatient procedures with quick recovery times.
• PRK – PRK is a type of laser eye surgery that corrects vision problems like nearsightedness, farsightedness, and astigmatism by reshaping the cornea. Unlike LASIK, PRK removes the epithelial surface layer of the cornea instead of creating a flap, which can provide benefits for patients with thin corneas or certain eye conditions. PRK has a slightly longer recovery time than LASIK but can be a good option for many patients seeking to reduce their dependence on glasses or contacts.
