Dry Eye Treatment - dry eye treatment involves addressing a common eye condition characterized by insufficient tear production or poor tear quality, leading to discomfort, irritation, and potential damage to the surface of the eye. There are many treatments depending on severity, including artificial tear drops.
Pediatric Ophthalmology - as a child's vision develops, it becomes increasingly more important to monitor through regular eye exams to check for conditions such as strabismus, myopia, amblyopia, and other refractive errors.
LASIK Eye Surgery - a type of eye surgery that uses a laser to reshape the cornea, the clear covering of the front of the eye. This can correct vision problems such as nearsightedness, farsightedness, and astigmatism.
Cataract Surgery - a precise and minimally invasive procedure that restores clear vision to individuals with cataracts. The clouded natural lens of the eye is gently removed and replaced with an artificial lens.
Medical Eye Exams - essential evaluations of one's visual health and clarity. They can detect underlying eye conditions such as glaucoma, cataracts, and macular degeneration, often in their early stages when treatment is most effective.
Glaucoma Treatment - glaucoma treatment encompasses a range of strategies aimed at managing and controlling the progression of this serious eye condition. Glaucoma is characterized by increased intraocular pressure that can damage the optic nerve and lead to vision loss if left untreated.
Corneal Disease Treatment - corneal disease treatment involves addressing various conditions that affect the transparent front surface of the eye, known as the cornea. Our treatment options include corneal transplant surgery, DSEK, PKP, and pterygium surgery.
