Comprehensive Eye Exams
Comprehensive eye exams actually offer an accurate indication of your overall health because ophthalmologists are often the first healthcare professionals to detect chronic conditions such as hypertension and diabetes.
Learn MoreDropless Cataract Surgery
Dropless cataract surgery is an exciting innovation in cataract surgery. Eliminating the post-operative eye drops that are required in traditional cataract surgery, dropless cataract surgery allows your eye surgeon to administer antibiotic and anti-inflammatory medication into the eye during surgery.

While glaucoma is often treated with medicated eye drops, sometimes surgery becomes necessary. We perform selective laser trabeculoplasty (SLT), a procedure that uses a low-level energy laser to target specific cells in the trabecular meshwork, the eye’s drainage channels.
Learn MoreIOLs
An intraocular lens, or IOL, is a clear, plastic lens that becomes a permanent part of the eye and requires no care. Based on test results, a surgeon will recommend the best IOL for each individual patient. The types of IOL’s are monofocal, astigmatism correcting, multifocal and light-adjustable.
Learn MoreYAG Laser Procedure
Problems after cataract surgery are rare but can occur. Sometimes the tissue that encloses the artificial intraocular lens becomes cloudy and blurs the vision. This is called an after-cataract. This can develop months or even years after cataract surgery. This outpatient procedure is treated with a laser, called YAG laser capsulotomy.
Learn MoreiStent Glaucoma Surgery With Cataract Surgery
In 2012, the FDA approved a device called the iStent Trabecular Micro-Bypass Stent System to treat symptoms of glaucoma. This is the first device that has been approved in conjunction with cataract surgery to reduce intraocular pressure (IOP) in adult patients with mild or moderate open-angle glaucoma and a cataract who are currently on IOP medication.
