  • We offer specialized laser eye surgery treatments for conditions like posterior capsular opacity (PCO) aka “secondary cataract” and glaucoma. Our advanced procedures, including YAG laser capsulotomy for PCO and laser treatments for glaucoma, aim to improve vision and manage intra-ocular pressure.

    Schedule a consultation to discuss how these treatments can benefit your eye health.
