Eye Care Services

• LASIK – LASIK is a precise laser vision correction procedure designed to reshape the cornea and correct refractive errors such as myopia, hyperopia, and astigmatism. By using advanced excimer laser technology, we can precisely remove microscopic amounts of corneal tissue to improve your eye’s focusing power, reducing or eliminating the need for glasses or contact lenses.
• Cataract Surgery – Cataract surgery is a microsurgical procedure that removes the clouded natural lens of the eye and replaces it with a clear artificial intraocular lens (IOL). This procedure restores clear vision by eliminating the cloudy, yellowed lens that develops with age, which causes blurred vision, glare, and reduced color perception.
  • Light Adjustable Lens – The Light Adjustable Lens represents an innovative approach to cataract surgery. After the initial lens implantation, we can precisely customize and fine-tune your vision using specialized light treatment. This allows for post-surgical adjustment of the lens power, providing unprecedented personalization of your visual outcome.
• EVO ICL – EVO Implantable Collamer Lens (ICL) is a cutting-edge vision correction method for patients with moderate to high refractive errors. This minimally invasive procedure involves placing a biocompatible lens between the iris and natural lens, preserving the eye’s natural architecture while providing excellent visual correction without permanently altering corneal tissue.
• Refractive Lens Exchange – Refractive Lens Exchange is a surgical procedure that replaces the eye’s natural lens with an advanced artificial lens to correct refractive errors. Particularly beneficial for patients over 40, this procedure can address presbyopia and reduce dependence on reading glasses while simultaneously correcting nearsightedness, farsightedness, or astigmatism.
• Cornea
  • Intacs – Intacs are specialized corneal implants designed to reshape the cornea and improve vision. Primarily used for conditions like keratoconus, these small, clear inserts are placed within the corneal stroma to flatten irregular corneal curvature, thereby improving vision and potentially delaying or avoiding more invasive procedures.
  • Keratoconus – Keratoconus is a progressive eye disease characterized by thinning and cone-like bulging of the cornea. Our comprehensive management approach includes advanced diagnostic techniques, specialized contact lens fitting, corneal cross-linking, and surgical interventions to stabilize the cornea and restore visual function.
• Oculoplastics – Oculoplastic surgery encompasses procedures involving the eyelids, orbit, and surrounding facial structures. Our services include reconstructive and cosmetic treatments addressing functional and aesthetic concerns such as eyelid ptosis, skin cancer reconstruction, tear duct disorders, and cosmetic eyelid rejuvenation.
• Diabetes – Diabetic eye care focuses on comprehensive screening, monitoring, and treatment of diabetes-related ocular complications. We provide detailed retinal examinations, advanced imaging, laser treatments for diabetic retinopathy, and management strategies to prevent vision loss associated with diabetic eye disease.
• Dry Eye Treatment – Our comprehensive dry eye management includes advanced diagnostic techniques to identify the underlying causes of ocular surface dysfunction. Treatment protocols may include prescription medications, specialized eye drops, innovative therapies like intense pulsed light (IPL), punctal plugs, and lifestyle modifications to restore ocular surface health.
• Family Eye Care / Contact Lenses – Our family eye care services provide comprehensive vision assessments for all age groups. We offer personalized contact lens fitting, including specialty lenses for complex prescriptions, astigmatism, and multifocal vision correction, ensuring optimal visual comfort and eye health for each individual.
• Flashes and Floaters – Evaluation of flashes and floaters involves a detailed examination to differentiate between benign and potentially serious retinal conditions. We utilize advanced diagnostic imaging to assess the vitreous and retina, providing timely interventions to prevent potential vision-threatening complications.
• Glaucoma – Glaucoma management encompasses comprehensive screening, advanced diagnostic imaging, and personalized treatment strategies. Our approach includes intraocular pressure monitoring, visual field testing, and a range of treatments from medicated eye drops to laser procedures and surgical interventions to preserve vision.
• Macular Degeneration – Our macular degeneration care includes comprehensive screening, progression monitoring, and advanced treatment options. We provide detailed diagnostic assessments, nutritional guidance, innovative therapies, and ongoing management to slow disease progression and maintain visual function.
• Muscle Relaxing Injections – Muscle relaxing injections offer therapeutic and cosmetic solutions for various ophthalmological conditions. These precise treatments can address issues like blepharospasm, hemifacial spasm, and provide aesthetic improvements by reducing fine lines and wrinkles around the eye area.
• Chemical Peels – Our chemical peel treatments are designed to improve skin texture, reduce pigmentation, and rejuvenate the delicate periocular skin. Utilizing medical-grade chemical solutions, we can address concerns such as fine lines, sun damage, and uneven skin tone while maintaining the health and integrity of the eye area.
