For Patients
Information on commonly treated conditions and procedures, including cataracts and glaucoma care.
Minimally Invasive Glaucoma Surgeries
Also known as "MIGS," these glaucoma surgeries are relatively lower risk compared to traditional glaucoma surgeries and can be safely combined with cataract surgery.
Selective Laser Trabeculoplasty
SLT is a safe and effective minimally-invasive laser treatment to lower eye pressure. It can be used as a first-line treatment alone or in conjunction with eye drops.
Traditional Glaucoma Surgeries
Trabeculectomy and tube shunt surgery are indicated in certain cases when a significant reduction in eye pressure is needed and other treatment options have failed.
Cataract Surgery
The eye's natural lens eventually becomes a cataract, which is curable with a cataract surgery. Modern cataract surgery replaces the aged, cloudy lens with a crystal-clear lens.
Elective Intraocular Lenses
Elective intraocular lenses can permanently correct astigmatism and/or allow for extended range of clear vision, significantly reducing the need for glasses after cataract surgery.
YAG Capsulotomy
Some eyes develop clouding behind the new lens after cataract surgery, and require a laser procedure called a YAG capsulotomy to clear up the opacity and restore clear vision.
