One clear diagnosis changes everything.
Most patients arrive having already self-diagnosed online. Sometimes they're right; often the picture is more nuanced. The point of a comprehensive evaluation is to map exactly what's going on with your eyes - and only then decide what to do about it.
Below is a guide to the conditions we treat. Each detail page explains what causes it, what to watch for, and which of our procedures we'd typically recommend.
Nine common conditions. One thoughtful path through each.
- Treatment options
Myopia (Nearsightedness)
Distance vision is blurry but nearby objects are clear. Treated with LASIK, SMILE, EVO ICL, or ASA depending on prescription.
- Treatment options
Astigmatism
An irregularly shaped cornea distorts vision at every distance. Corrected with custom LASIK, SMILE, or toric lens implants.
- Treatment options
Hyperopia (Farsightedness)
Nearby objects appear blurry while distance is sharper. Often improves with LASIK; lens replacement is a strong option after 40.
- Treatment options
Presbyopia
The age-related loss of near focus that drives reading-glass dependence after 40. Custom Lens Replacement reverses it.
- Treatment options
Cataracts
The eye's natural lens becomes cloudy, dimming colors and blurring vision. Modern premium cataract surgery restores clarity in under 15 minutes per eye.
- Treatment options
Glaucoma
Elevated eye pressure that damages the optic nerve. Treated with the full MIGS family - iStent, Hydrus, iDose, and more.
- Treatment options
Dry Eye
Chronic burning, gritty, or fluctuating vision that drops resistant. Treated at the source with IPL therapy and meibomian gland care.
- Treatment options
Keratoconus
Progressive corneal thinning that warps vision. Stabilized with corneal cross-linking before vision-correction options become unsafe.
- Treatment options
Pterygium
A wing-shaped growth on the eye's surface that causes irritation and astigmatism. Surgically removed with conjunctival autograft.
