Our Eye Procedures
Lasik Eye Surgery
Lasik is a cutting-edge procedure designed to correct common vision problems like nearsightedness, farsightedness, and astigmatism. This minimally invasive surgery reshapes the cornea, allowing light to properly focus on the retina, resulting in clearer vision. One of the primary benefits of Lasik is the potential to reduce or eliminate the need for glasses or contact lenses, offering a life free from the constraints of corrective eyewear. Our experienced ophthalmologists utilize the latest technology and precision techniques to ensure a safe and effective procedure. With advanced equipment and a skilled team, we provide our patients with optimal outcomes and quick recovery times.
Cataract Surgery
Cataract surgery is a highly effective procedure that removes the cloudy lens of the eye and replaces it with a clear artificial lens. Cataracts, which cause vision to become blurred or dim, are a common age-related condition that can significantly impact daily activities. The benefits of cataract surgery are profound: it restores clear vision, improves color perception, and enhances overall quality of life. The procedure is quick, generally safe, and involves minimal discomfort, allowing patients to return to their normal activities soon after.
Glaucoma
treatments and management such as drops, lasers, other surgeries.
Macular Degeneration
treatments and management such as retina lasers and inter ocular injections.
Cosmetic Eye Procedures
Blepharoplasty (Eyelid Surgery)
Blepharoplasty, commonly known as eyelid surgery, is a cosmetic and functional procedure offered at Northern Eye Center. This surgery involves removing excess skin, fat, and muscle from the upper or lower eyelids, addressing issues such as droopy eyelids, puffiness, and under-eye bags. Blepharoplasty not only rejuvenates the eye area, giving you a more youthful and refreshed appearance, but it can also improve vision by lifting sagging skin that may obstruct your sight. The benefits of this procedure include a brighter, more alert look, enhanced confidence, and improved peripheral vision.
Botox for Blepharospasm
Botox (botulinum toxin) injections are a highly effective treatment for blepharospasm, a condition characterized by involuntary and often forceful eyelid spasms. Our expert eye doctors at Northern Eye Center use Botox injections to safely and precisely target the muscles responsible for these spasms, providing relief that can last for several months. This minimally invasive procedure is quick, with most patients experiencing significant improvement in their symptoms within a few days. By reducing muscle activity, Botox helps restore comfort and normal function, allowing you to enjoy clearer vision and a better quality of life.
