Computerized corneal topography - precisely maps the curvature of the cornea.
Pterygium removal - removes a scar-like growth on the surface of the eye.
Treatment of infectious diseases of the eye's surface.
Surgical treatment of corneal and conjunctival ulcers and other disorders.
Corneal and scleral wound repairs - treats damaged cornea and scleral tissue.
Treatment of dry eyes and blepharitis.
Entropion and ectropion surgery - corrects eyelids that turn inward and outward.
