Services Include:

• Cataract Surgery – Cataract surgery is a procedure to remove the cloudy lens in your eye and replace it with a clear artificial lens. This outpatient procedure typically takes less than 30 minutes and is performed under local anesthesia. Most patients experience improved vision within days of surgery. The artificial lens, called an intraocular lens (IOL), becomes a permanent part of your eye and requires no care. Various IOL options are available to suit different visual needs.
• LASIK (Laser Vision Correction) – LASIK reshapes your cornea using a precise laser to correct nearsightedness, farsightedness, or astigmatism. The procedure creates a thin flap in the cornea, reshapes the underlying tissue with a laser, and then repositions the flap. LASIK typically takes about 15 minutes per eye and is performed under topical anesthesia. Most patients achieve 20/20 vision or better and can resume normal activities within 24 hours, though complete healing may take several weeks.
• Glaucoma Treatment – Glaucoma treatment aims to reduce intraocular pressure to prevent optic nerve damage. Treatment options include prescription eye drops, oral medications, laser therapy, or surgery depending on the type and severity of your glaucoma. Regular monitoring is essential as glaucoma has no cure, but proper management can halt or slow disease progression. Treatment is typically ongoing and requires consistent adherence to medication schedules and follow-up appointments.
• Cornea Care – Cornea care encompasses treatments for corneal diseases and injuries, including infections, dystrophies, and trauma. Treatments range from medicated eye drops for minor conditions to corneal transplantation for severe cases. Partial or full-thickness transplants may be performed depending on which layers of the cornea are affected. Recovery varies by procedure but typically requires several weeks to months of careful monitoring and medication use.
• Retina Care – Retina care addresses conditions affecting the light-sensitive tissue at the back of your eye. This includes treatments for macular degeneration, diabetic retinopathy, retinal detachment, and other retinal disorders. Treatment modalities include intravitreal injections, laser photocoagulation, and various surgical procedures. Early diagnosis and intervention are crucial for preserving vision, as many retinal conditions can cause permanent vision loss if left untreated.
• Eyelid Surgery – Eyelid surgery (blepharoplasty) removes excess skin, muscle, and sometimes fat from the upper or lower eyelids. This procedure can be performed for functional reasons, such as improving vision obstructed by drooping eyelids, or for cosmetic purposes. The surgery typically takes 1-2 hours and is performed under local anesthesia with sedation. Recovery involves temporary swelling and bruising, with most patients returning to normal activities within 7-10 days.
• Optical Center – Our Optical Center provides comprehensive eyewear services, including prescription glasses, contact lenses, and sunglasses. Our opticians assist with frame selection, lens customization, and proper fitting to ensure optimal vision correction and comfort. We offer a wide selection of frames for various preferences and budgets, along with specialty lenses for specific visual needs. All eyewear undergoes quality verification to ensure accuracy of your prescription.
• Eye Exams – Comprehensive eye examinations evaluate visual acuity, eye movement, depth perception, and overall eye health. Using specialized equipment, we examine the external and internal structures of your eyes to detect signs of refractive errors, eye diseases, or systemic health conditions. Regular eye exams are recommended every 1-2 years for adults and annually for children, seniors, and those with existing eye conditions or risk factors. Early detection allows for timely intervention and better visual outcomes.
