Cataract Surgery
What is a cataract?A cataract is a clouding of the lens in the eye that affects vision, usually due to aging.
We perform topical clear corneal cataract surgery, which reduces the operating and healing time compared to tradition surgical procedures, and usually offers almost immediate improvement in vision. Only drops are required to anesthetize the eye before a small incision is made in the cornea of the eye. The cataract is removed, and an artificial acrylic lens is inserted that unfolds inside the eye. We offer a variety of different intraocular lens options including premium multifocal, extended depth of focus, and toric lenses to provide you the best possible vision.
Cataract surgery can be completed in a single outpatient session and the recovery time is rapid; most patients are able to return almost immediately to their daily activities.

Glaucoma

We provide screening for glaucoma as well as monitoring of disease with various state-of-the-art technology, as well as treatment with eye drops and laser procedures.
We perform laser peripheral iridotomy (LPI) in cases of acute angle closure glaucoma, and selective laser trabeculoplasty (SLT) in certain cases of open angle glaucoma.
