Your Vision is Our Specialty

Cataracts

Cataracts occur when your eye’s natural lens becomes cloudy. The proteins in your eye’s lens break down, causing your vision to look blurry, hazy, or less colorful.

Cornea Diseases

Cornea surgery is usually recommended for those who are experiencing serious effects to their vision, are experiencing pain due to a cornea condition or emergency.

Glaucoma

Glaucoma is a disease that damages your eye’s optic nerve. This can happen when fluid builds up in the front of your eye, which will increase pressure on your optic nerve and damage it.
