Patients can also choose from the latest inventory of optical wear in our in-house optical shop, which is conveniently located on the same floor as the Optometry department.
OPHTHALMOLOGY
Watson Clinic’s expert Ophthalmology department offers comprehensive eye care, from routine examinations to glaucoma treatments to laser surgery.
Our ophthalmologists focus on the anatomy, functions and diseases of the eye. They treat a variety of eye disorders that may require surgery. Cataracts are one of the most common of these disorders.
Our physicians are proud to offer minimally invasive cataract treatments that involve flexible foldable lens replacements that allow for smaller incisions, often without the need for stitches.
Glaucoma is another common eye disorder treated by our team of ophthalmologists. Once glaucoma is diagnosed, it is often treated with highly effective eye drops, and occasionally with laser or conventional surgery.
In addition to the treatment of cataracts and glaucoma, our ophthalmologists offer diabetic eye care, corneal transplants, LASIK and refractive eye surgery, contact lens fittings, artificial eye fitting and care, and a comprehensive series of eye exams for adults and children.
