Expert Eye Surgery in Largo, FL

Our Eye Surgery Services

LASIK and PRK Vision Correction

We offer LASIK and PRK to correct refractive errors such as nearsightedness, farsightedness, and astigmatism. LASIK reshapes the cornea using a femtosecond laser for fast recovery, while PRK is ideal for patients with thinner corneas. Both procedures can reduce or eliminate the need for glasses or contact lenses.

Cataract Surgery with Advanced IOL Options

Our surgeons perform advanced cataract surgery using small-incision techniques and premium intraocular lenses (IOLs), including multifocal and toric lenses. These IOLs can address presbyopia and astigmatism, improving both near and distance vision after surgery.

Glaucoma Treatment (Including MIGS)

We offer a range of surgical solutions for glaucoma, including traditional filtering surgeries and MIGS (Minimally Invasive Glaucoma Surgery) options such as iStent and XEN. These procedures help lower intraocular pressure with minimal recovery time.

Retinal and Corneal Surgeries

Our surgical team treats complex conditions affecting the retina and cornea, such as retinal detachment, diabetic retinopathy, corneal scarring, and keratoconus. We offer advanced options like vitrectomy, corneal transplants, and cross-linking.

Pediatric Eye Surgery

We provide surgical treatment for a range of pediatric eye conditions including strabismus (eye misalignment) and congenital cataracts. Our child-focused approach ensures a safe and supportive experience for younger patients and their families.

Preparing for Your Surgery

During your surgical consultation, your Ophthalmologist will evaluate your eye health, discuss your goals, and recommend the most appropriate procedure. We take the time to answer all your questions.

We’ll provide clear instructions to help you get ready for your procedure. This may include adjusting medications, arranging transportation, and using prescribed eye drops.

Aftercare and Recovery

Recovery varies by procedure but is often quicker than patients expect. Most LASIK patients resume activities within a day or two, while cataract and glaucoma surgery patients may need a few days of rest.

Mild discomfort, dryness, or blurry vision are common and typically temporary. We provide aftercare instructions and follow-up visits to monitor healing.

Post-operative care is a vital part of your surgical success. Our team remains accessible to address concerns and ensure your eyes are healing properly.

Advanced Technology That Enhances Outcomes

• Laser-Assisted Procedures: We use femtosecond laser technology to enhance precision in LASIK and cataract surgeries.
• Multifocal and Toric Lenses: These IOLs improve vision at multiple distances and help reduce dependence on glasses after cataract surgery.
• Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT): This imaging tool allows our team to detect and monitor diseases of the retina and optic nerve with high-definition detail.
• MIGS for Glaucoma: Minimally Invasive Glaucoma Surgery options offer effective pressure control with less disruption to daily life.
