About Ophthalmology

Ophthalmology is the medical specialty concerning the diagnosis and treatment of disorders or diseases of the eye. Our physicians and surgeons perform everything from routine eye exams to advanced treatments for glaucoma, cataracts, corneal and retinal diseases, and macular degeneration.

We specialize in the treatment of refractive errors, dry eye, cataracts and glaucoma, as well as diabetic eye care, macular degeneration, amblyopia and strabismus. We offer a vast range of unique subspecialty eye care, including corneal transplants, treatment of neuro-ophthalmic disorders and ocular plastic diseases, including thyroid eye disease and ocular/ orbital tumors.
