Other Featured Services
PRK Surgery
PRK is similar to LASIK, but the refractive surgery technique does not involve making a corneal flap. Patients with thin corneas or certain occupations or hobbies that could disrupt a corneal flap can benefit from PRK. Like LASIK, PRK can give you 20/20 vision and eliminate your dependency on glasses and contact lenses.
Cataract Treatment
If you have clouded, blurry vision, you may have cataracts. Our surgeons treat this common condition by removing the cloudy crystalline lens and replacing it with an intraocular lens. This outpatient surgery is fast, safe, and effective.
Corneal Disease Treatment
Our practice can diagnose and treat keratoconus, dry eyes, irregular corneal surfaces, infections, scars, and Fuchs' dystrophy. Our treatment options for eye diseases range from drops to corneal transplants.
Glaucoma Treatment
Glaucoma is a group of conditions often resulting in abnormal intraocular pressure, which can lead to vision loss. Our ophthalmologists and optometrists provide nonsurgical and surgical procedures to help manage this chronic condition and protect your vision.
Refractive Error Treatment
Our ophthalmology practice is equipped to help patients suffering from refractive errors including nearsightedness, farsightedness, and astigmatism. After an exam with our optometrist, we can recommend a solution for you.
Optical Boutique
Our practice features an in-house optical boutique for all your eyeglass and contact lens needs. Our opticians can help you find eyewear that looks great, fits comfortably, and meets your needs.
