Cataract patients now have an option to see at both near and far distances after cataract surgery! Individuals suffering from cataracts previously had only a mono-focal lens implant option after surgery. NEW multi-focal, accommodating and astigmatic correction IOL technology can now decrease dependence on glasses after surgery. These include the AcrySof® ReSTOR® IOL, TECNIS® Multifocal IOL, and the AcrySof® Toric IOL. If you are seeking one of these options, please feel free to consult our staff.

Ophthalmologists have long recognized that children’s eyes are unique and quite different from adult eyes. In fact, the problems that children encounter with their eyes and vision are so unique that the separate sub-specialty of pediatric ophthalmology evolved for their care. Pediatric ophthalmologists receive advanced training to care for these special needs.
We care for a full range of pediatric eye conditions, including:
- Eye Muscle Disorders
- Double Vision
- Amblyopia - "Lazy Eye"
- Strabismus - "Crossed Eyes"
- Thyroid Eye Disease
- Lacrimal System Disorders
- Dry Eyes
- Tear Duct Problems
- Pediatric Neuro-Ophthalmic Disorders
- Retinopathy of Prematurity
- Convergence Insufficiency
