All elective lasers and surgeries (including LASIK, Cataract Surgery, Cataract/Hydrus, and Corneal Transplants) are canceled through at least March 31, 2020. Exceptions include patients with uncontrolled glaucoma, trauma, sight-threatening conditions, and other emergencies.

To allay any concerns, we have implemented a HIPAA compliant telemedicine protocol accessible from any connected, camera-equipped device (phone or computer). These virtual visits can be scheduled by clicking here. There is no cost for these emergency online consultations.

Following this crisis, we will augment our surgical and clinic hours to expedite your ophthalmic surgical needs.
