Our Ophthalmology Services
We offer a comprehensive range of services to address the full spectrum of eye health needs, from routine eye exams to complex surgeries. Some of our primary services include:
Comprehensive Eye Exams
Routine eye exams are essential for detecting problems early, even before symptoms appear. Our comprehensive exams include:
- Visual Acuity Tests: To measure how well you can see at different distances.
- Glaucoma Screening: To check for increased intraocular pressure that may damage the optic nerve.
- Retinal Examination: Using advanced imaging to detect conditions like diabetic retinopathy or macular degeneration.
- Refraction Tests: To determine your exact prescription for eyeglasses or contact lenses.
- Pupil Dilation: To allow a deeper look into the eye for signs of disease.
Cataract Treatment and Surgery
Cataracts, a common age-related condition, cause the lens of the eye to cloud, leading to vision impairment. We provide:
- Cataract Surgery: Our skilled surgeons perform state-of-the-art phacoemulsification surgery, a minimally invasive procedure to remove the cloudy lens and replace it with a clear intraocular lens (IOL).
- Advanced IOL Options: We offer several types of IOLs, including monofocal, multifocal, and toric lenses, to meet your visual needs.
Glaucoma Treatment
Glaucoma is a group of diseases that damage the optic nerve, often caused by high eye pressure. Our services include:
- Monitoring and Early Detection: Regular screenings to detect glaucoma in its early stages, when treatment can prevent further damage.
- Medications: Prescribing eye drops or oral medications to lower intraocular pressure.
- Laser Therapy and Surgery: Minimally invasive treatments to improve fluid drainage and prevent further optic nerve damage.
Retina and Vitreous Disorders
Conditions affecting the retina and vitreous can lead to significant vision loss. We provide:
- Diabetic Retinopathy Treatment: Managing the damage caused by diabetes to the retina through laser therapy, injections, and monitoring.
- Macular Degeneration Treatment: We offer both dry and wet age-related macular degeneration (AMD) treatment options, including anti-VEGF injections.
- Retinal Detachment Surgery: Surgical intervention to reattach the retina and prevent permanent vision loss.
- Vitreous Surgery: Treatment for vitreous hemorrhages and other disorders affecting the gel-like substance in the eye.
Pediatric Ophthalmology
We offer specialized care for children, addressing common pediatric eye conditions such as:
- Strabismus: Misalignment of the eyes, often requiring surgery or vision therapy.
- Amblyopia (Lazy Eye): Treatment options include patching therapy and vision correction.
- Congenital Eye Conditions: Early intervention for issues like congenital cataracts, glaucoma, and retinopathy of prematurity (ROP).
Eyelid and Ocular Surface Disorders
Conditions affecting the eyelids or ocular surface can impact both appearance and function. We treat:
- Dry Eye Syndrome: Using artificial tears, medications, and punctal plugs to manage symptoms.
- Eyelid Surgery (Blepharoplasty): Surgical correction for drooping eyelids or to improve the appearance of the eyes.
- Eyelid Infections and Tumors: Treatment for conditions like styes, chalazia, and skin cancer of the eyelid.

Frequently Asked Questions
It’s recommended to have an eye exam at least once a year, especially if you’re over 40 or have risk factors like diabetes, high blood pressure, or a family history of eye diseases. Regular exams help detect issues like glaucoma, cataracts, and macular degeneration early, when treatment can be most effective.
LASIK is a laser eye surgery that corrects nearsightedness, farsightedness, and astigmatism. It reshapes the cornea for improved vision. Ideal candidates are typically over 18, have stable vision, and are free from serious eye diseases. A thorough consultation with our ophthalmologists will help determine if LASIK is right for you.
If you experience sudden vision loss, eye pain, or other symptoms like flashes of light or floaters, it’s essential to seek immediate medical attention. These could be signs of serious conditions such as a retinal detachment, glaucoma, or optic nerve issues that require urgent care to prevent permanent damage.
