Baerveldt Implant - Glaucoma Drainage Devices
Sometimes, a trabulectomy is not effective, or the eyes may exhibit extensive scarring from previous surgeries. If this is your experience, your doctor may recommend a tube shunt procedure called a glaucoma drainage device (GDD).
Learn MoreBlepharoplasty/Eyelid Revision Procedures
Upper eyelid revision and lower eyelid revision, both known as blepharoplasty, also known as blephs, reduce the drooping eyelid tissue.
Learn MoreCataract Surgery
Cataract surgery is a safe and effective way to restore vision. It is done on an outpatient basis and only requires a short recovery period.
Learn MoreCataract Surgery with ORA
The ORA System™ utilizes intraoperative wavefront aberrometer, similar to the technology that has made LASIK a customized, precise procedure.
Learn MoreCorneal Transplants
A corneal transplant is done to replace a diseased or scarred cornea with a new one. Of all tissue transplants, corneal transplants are the most successful, with over 40,000 performed in the United States each year.
Learn MoreCryotherapy
If you have been diagnosed with a retinal disorder, you may be a candidate for cryotherapy. Cryotherapy uses extremely low temperatures to seal the retina to the back wall of the eye by forming a scar. This scar, which takes approximately one week to heal, forms a bond which seals the retina around the retinal tear and prevents a detachment.
Learn MoreCyclo G6 Glaucoma Laser
If your glaucoma is causing uncontrolled eye pressure or you are seeking an alternative to expensive medications, you may want to consider a laser procedure to help lower your intraocular pressure.
Learn MoreDSAEK
Corneal specialists can isolate the diseased inner layer of the cornea and replace the layer through a process called Descemet’s Stripping Automated Endothelial Keratoplasty (DSAEK). If your inner corneal layer is swollen and not working properly, you may be a candidate for DSAEK.
Learn MoreEpidural Steroid Injection
An epidural steroid injection treats nerve irritation caused by nearby tissues pressing on the nerve. The inflamed nerve root is bathed in steroids, an anti-inflammation medicine, to decrease the irritation of the nerve root that is causing the pain.
Learn MoreEx-Press Mini Glaucoma Shunt
A newer glaucoma treatment is called the Ex-PRESS mini glaucoma shunt (excessive pressure regulating shunt system). The Ex-PRESS is a simple method of filtration for open-angle glaucoma and can be implanted following cataract surgery.
Learn MoreEyelid Surgery for Aging Eyes
Surgery is usually the best treatment for drooping eyelids. This specialized surgical procedure for dermatochalasis is called blepharoplasty, and is usually performed by an ophthalmologist who has special training in handling these delicate areas surrounding your eyes.
Learn MoreGeneral Anesthesia
Many major operations are performed under general anesthesia. This means that the patient will be unconscious and have no awareness of the surgical procedure.
Learn MoreGlaucoma Laser Treatments
Laser surgery has become a desirable option as an intermediate glaucoma treatment between medications and traditional surgery and some doctors use it as an initial treatment prior to starting drops.
Learn MoreGlaucoma Procedures
Since damage to the optic nerve is irreversible, there is no cure for glaucoma. However, aggressive control of eye pressure can prevent further vision loss. Your doctor will go over what treatment options are available and make recommendations for which treatment or combinations of treatments are best for your specific condition.
Learn MoreGlaucoma 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.
Learn MoreImplantable Contact Lenses
Implantable contact lenses (also called phakic intraocular lenses or IOLs) are a surgical option for correcting moderate to severe myopia (nearsightedness). An alternate choice to LASK or PRK eye surgery, IOLs can produce better and more predictable vision outcomes than laser refractive surgery.
Learn MoreLaser Trabeculoplasty
If you have open angle glaucoma and your eyesight is getting worse in spite of medication, your doctor may recommend laser trabeculoplasty as an initial surgical option.
Learn MoreLaser-Assisted Cataract Surgery
Laser Cataract Surgery is a fully customizable, precision care solution for restoring your clearest possible vision. This pre-planned outpatient procedure offers predictability and convenience.
Learn MoreMinimally Invasive Glaucoma Surgery
Through extensive clinical research and trials, doctors and researchers are constantly creating new and exciting treatment methods for glaucoma patients. These innovative procedures combine the newest technology, enhanced surgical methods and breakthrough drugs to normalize intraocular pressure and manage your glaucoma.
Learn MoreMonitored Anesthesia Care (MAC)
Monitored Anesthesia Care (MAC) is a technique of sedation provided by the anesthesia team which involved providing sedation while closely monitoring the patient’s vital signs and comfort level.
Learn MoreOculoplastics & Reconstructive Surgery
Oculoplastic surgery refers to a wide variety of surgical procedures that treat the eyelids, tear ducts and the face.
Learn MorePediatric Anesthesia
We provide specialized and individualized pediatric anesthesia care. Medical procedures on a child may create a great deal of anxiety for both the child and parent.
Learn MorePodiatry Procedures
Podiatry focuses on the prevention, diagnoses and treatment of conditions associated with the foot and ankle.
Learn MorePterygium Surgery
Pterygium is also known as surfer’s eye because of its common occurrence in surfers. Individuals with pterygium have a growth of pink, fleshy tissue on the white of the eye. If symptoms are mild, pterygium usually doesn’t require treatment. If pterygium worsens and causes redness or irritation, it can be treated with some form of eye drops. If the lesion causes discomfort or interferes with vision, it can be surgically removed in an outpatient procedure.
Learn MoreScleral Buckling
Scleral buckling is one of the most common surgeries for repairing a retinal detachment. This method bends the wall of the eye inward so it meets the wall of the retina.
Learn MoreSelective Laser Trabeculoplasty (SLT)
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 MoreStrabismus Surgery
In some children, strabismus can be corrected with eyeglasses. Other treatments include patching or blurring the aligned eye to improve the strength of the misaligned eye. If these initial treatments are not successful, corrective surgery may be recommended.
Learn MoreTrabeculectomy
Trabeculectomy is a surgical procedure to remove part of the trabeculum in the eye to reduce pressure caused by glaucoma. Trabeculectomy is used to treat open-angle glaucoma and chronic closed-angle glaucoma.
Learn MoreTraditional Glaucoma Surgical Treatments
When medicated eye drops and laser surgery do not remedy intraocular pressure (IOP), your doctor may recommend conventional glaucoma surgery.
Learn MoreVision Services
No one likes the idea of eye surgery, but remarkable advances in ophthalmic surgery have made it easier than ever before.
Learn MoreVitrectomy
A vitrectomy is one of the procedures used to repair a detached retina. This procedure removes portions of the vitreous. This is sometimes necessary when the vitreous, a thick, transparent substance that fills the center of the eye, blocks the surgeon’s view of the detached retina.
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.
