Minor In-Office Eye Procedures
Not all eye treatments require a trip to the operating room. At our clinic, we offer a range of minor outpatient (OP) procedures that are performed safely and comfortably right in our office — often with little to no downtime.
These procedures are ideal for addressing common eye conditions quickly and effectively, helping you return to your normal routine with improved comfort and vision.
