Our Approach to Optometry
“My practice is dedicated to restoring quality vision and comfort to patients affected by conditions such as keratoconus, complications from refractive surgery (like LASIK), corneal transplant surgery, trauma, chronic dry eye, and various corneal dystrophies and degenerations. Many of my patients, previously experiencing significant vision loss, now benefit from custom contact lenses I’ve designed using advanced technology. The outcomes are truly transformative.”
