Featured Technology
Surgical Incisions using CO2 Laser
Using lasers to create incisions for surgical procedures offers many advantages over the traditional scalpel method. Lasers not only create an incision but they also coagulate blood at the incision site to offer a practically blood-less procedure and greater anatomical visibility for the surgeon. The use of lasers allows greater control and visibility of structures during surgery. For his oculofacial procedures, Dr. Ebby Elahi uses a CO2 laser, to create his incisions.

Featured Procedure
Cataract Surgery
Cataracts occur when the natural lens in the eye thickens and becomes cloudy causing, in many cases, distortion and a loss of vision. To treat cataracts, the cloudy lens must be surgically removed and replaced with an Intraocular lens (IOL) implant which helps to restore vision. Today, there are advances in IOL implants that offer many cataract patients the ability to see clearly without the use of glasses.
