Specialized Care for Your Vision

Cataract Care

Modern cataract surgery can do more than remove a cloudy lens. Today's technology allows treatment to be personalized around your eyes and your vision goals, including advanced lens options designed to improve your range and quality of vision.

Interventional Glaucoma

Glaucoma treatment has evolved. Interventional glaucoma focuses on proactively managing eye pressure using today's full range of treatment options — from laser and sustained-release medications to minimally invasive and advanced glaucoma procedures.

Sahar Bedrood, MD, PhD — Cataract & Glaucoma Specialist
