Surgery

Sometimes, surgical intervention is necessary to restore or preserve vision. Other times, surgery is needed to enhance the function or the appearance of the eyes and the important lid structures that protect them. 

Our doctors are at the forefront of the latest advances in the surgical management of cataracts, glaucoma, pterygium, and eyelid and tear duct problems. if you require surgery, we will carefully review with you the goals for the procecdure to make sure that your expectations will be met. Your surgeon will talk with you about the benefits of surgery, its risks, and the alternative options if applicable.
