Our Specialties
LASIK
We work to reshape your cornea with a tiny laser so you can ditch the glasses and contacts!
Refractive Lens Exchange
Instead of using lasers, this surgery uses ultrasound to correct your lenses and reduce how often you wear glasses or contacts.
Corneal Transplant
After removing diseased or damaged cornea tissue, we can replace it with healthy tissue from a donor.
Cataract Surgery
Replacing your natural lenses with artificial ones, cataract surgery lets you see the world in a whole new light.
