From halting keratoconus to treating chronic dry eye at its source, our cornea team handles the full spectrum — from diagnostics to advanced surgical and in-office procedures.
Whether you have a structural cornea condition or years of chronic dry eye that won't respond to drops, there's a specific path for each.
FDA-approved riboflavin and UV light treatment that permanently stiffens and stabilizes a weakening cornea. The only proven way to halt keratoconus progression.
Best for: Keratoconus, post-LASIK ectasia, progressive corneal thinning
A custom-shaped donor-tissue inlay placed inside the cornea to push the keratoconus cone back toward its natural shape — less invasive than a full corneal transplant.
Best for: Keratoconus patients intolerant of contacts, seeking a transplant alternative
Outpatient removal of pterygium (surfer's eye) using conjunctival autograft — restores clear vision and dramatically reduces the chance of recurrence versus older techniques.
Best for: Visible eye growths, recurring irritation, astigmatism caused by pterygium
Chronic dry eye is usually a meibomian gland problem, not just insufficient tears. We diagnose the cause and build a tailored plan — lid care, drops, medications, IPL, or a combination.
Best for: Chronic dryness, poor tear quality, meibomian gland dysfunction
Intense Pulsed Light targets the inflammation and blocked glands behind most chronic dry eye — in-office, non-invasive, and more lasting than drops alone.
Best for: Chronic dry eye, rosacea-related blepharitis, drop-resistant dryness

Some cornea and dry eye procedures are covered by insurance or Medicare — others are elective. We verify your benefits before your consultation so you know your out-of-pocket cost before anything is scheduled. Financing is available for out-of-pocket costs.
Some procedures — like corneal cross-linking — may be partially covered by insurance. Others, like IPL, are elective and out of pocket. We verify your coverage and give you a written estimate before you commit.

Many cornea patients are also candidates for vision correction once their cornea is stable. We'll evaluate both at your consultation.
