Laser surgery

Laser treatments are performed at The Eye Center to manage a wide range of medical eye conditions using advanced, state-of-the-art technology. These procedures allow our physicians to treat specific areas of the eye with precision while preserving surrounding tissue.

Laser surgery may be recommended for conditions such as posterior capsule opacities (after-cataract scar tissue), diabetic macular edema, proliferative diabetic retinopathy, retinal tears, angle-closure glaucoma, and open-angle glaucoma. Your physician will determine whether laser treatment is appropriate based on your diagnosis and overall eye health.

Many laser treatments can be performed the same day as your consultation, depending on your condition and clinical findings.

Where Laser Procedures Are Performed

Laser procedures are performed at The Eye Center using advanced equipment within our on-site ambulatory surgical suite. Our facility is designed specifically for ophthalmic care and is equipped with modern lasers, instruments, and monitoring systems to support safe and effective treatment.

Patients receive care in a specialty-focused environment supported by a highly trained team that works exclusively with eye procedures. This allows us to provide a consistent, efficient experience while maintaining the highest standards of safety and comfort.

What to Expect During Laser Treatment

Before your laser procedure, your vital signs may be checked, and your eye will be prepared using anesthetic eye drops. In some cases, dilating drops may also be used, depending on the type of laser treatment being performed.

You will be seated comfortably in a specialized chair that positions your eye close to the laser device. During the procedure, you may see bright lights or hear brief clicking sounds as the laser is applied. Laser treatments are generally well tolerated, involve minimal discomfort, and typically last from a few seconds to several minutes.
