Areas of Expertise
What is Customized Cataract Surgery?
Every patient is unique. Some have moderate cataracts, while others have more advanced cataracts. Some patients have astigmatism, while others do not. Some patients do not mind wearing glasses after cataract surgery while others do not want to be dependent on glasses for anything. All patients deserve a customized plan to address their individual unique needs and desires.
What is Blade-less Laser Surgery?
Laser cataract surgery involves using a Femtosecond Laser to perform certain steps of the procedure. Using the laser provides for more precision and reduces the chance of complications, especially in patients with certain high risk factors.
What are Premium Implants?
Certain patients benefit from the latest premium implants. These are patients who have significant astigmatism and patients who want to try to get out of glasses all together for both distance and near vision. Proper choice of toric, multifocal, and the latest light-adjustable implants help patients to achieve their goal of the best possible vision with the least need for glasses.
