What We Treat

Conditions We Specialize In

Glaucoma and cataracts are among the leading causes of vision loss worldwide — but with timely, expert care, you can protect what matters most: your vision.

Glaucoma

Often called the "silent thief of sight," glaucoma damages the optic nerve — usually from elevated eye pressure — without obvious early symptoms. Regular screenings catch it early, when treatment is most effective.

  • Open-angle glaucoma
  • Normal-tension glaucoma
  • Angle-closure glaucoma
  • Congenital glaucoma

Cataracts

Clouding of the eye's natural lens causes blurry vision, faded colors, and glare — especially at night. Cataract surgery is one of the safest and most common procedures performed, with outstanding outcomes.

  • Age-related cataracts
  • Secondary cataracts
  • Congenital cataracts
  • Traumatic cataracts

Dry Eye & Eye Health

Chronic dry eye and other ocular surface conditions can significantly affect comfort and vision quality. We offer comprehensive evaluation and targeted treatment to keep your eyes healthy and comfortable.

  • Dry eye syndrome
  • Pre- & post-operative care
  • Comprehensive eye exams
  • Ocular surface disease

Comprehensive Eye Care, Tailored to You

From routine monitoring to advanced surgical intervention, we offer the full spectrum of glaucoma and cataract care — all under one roof in downtown Seattle.

01

Glaucoma Screening & Diagnosis

Advanced diagnostic testing including optical coherence tomography (OCT), visual field testing, and pachymetry to detect glaucoma before vision loss occurs.

02

Glaucoma Medical Management

Prescription eye drops, oral medications, and laser therapies tailored to your specific type of glaucoma — with regular monitoring to adjust your plan as needed.

03

Glaucoma Surgery

Minimally invasive surgical options including MIGS (minimally invasive glaucoma surgery), trabeculectomy, and tube shunt placement when medications aren't enough.

04

Cataract Surgery

Phacoemulsification with premium intraocular lens (IOL) options — including toric and multifocal lenses — to reduce your dependence on glasses after surgery.

05

Pre & Post-Operative Care

Thorough preparation before surgery and close follow-up afterward to ensure a smooth recovery and the best possible visual outcome.

06

Co-Management with Optometrists

We work closely with your optometrist for coordinated care — handling the surgical component while your OD manages ongoing eye health in between visits.

"After years of eye drops just barely controlling my glaucoma, they offered a surgical option that changed everything. The procedure was quick, the recovery was smooth, and my eye pressure has been stable ever since. I'm so grateful."

Robert D. Bellevue, WA

"From the front desk to the doctor's office, everyone is so kind and professional. They never rush you and always make sure you understand your condition. I recommend them to everyone I know who needs eye care."
