Eye Care

• LASIK Eye Surgery: A common procedure that reshapes the cornea using a laser.
• PRK Surgery: Similar to LASIK, but removes the outer layer of the cornea before laser treatment.
• SMILE Eye Surgery: A minimally invasive laser procedure that creates a thin lenticule within the cornea and then removes it.
• EVO ICL Surgery: Involves implanting a small, flexible lens inside the eye to improve vision.
• RLE Eye Surgery: Replaces the eye’s natural lens with an artificial lens, similar to cataract surgery, but performed electively for vision correction.

• Cataract Surgery: This is the foundational procedure where the surgeon removes the cloudy natural lens of the eye and replaces it with an artificial lens (intraocular lens – IOL).
• Monofocal Intraocular Lenses: These are the most basic type of IOL, providing clear vision at one distance (usually farsighted).
• Multifocal Intraocular Lenses: These IOLs have multiple focal points, allowing for good vision at both near and far distances.
• Trifocal Intraocular Lenses: An advanced type of multifocal IOL with three focal points, offering improved vision at near, intermediate, and far distances.
• EDOF (Extended Depth of Field) Intraocular Lenses: These IOLs provide a continuous range of focus, allowing for good vision at multiple distances.
• Toric Intraocular Lenses: These IOLs are designed to correct astigmatism, a common eye condition that causes blurred vision.

• Refractive Lens Exchange: Replaces the eye’s natural lens with an artificial lens, similar to cataract surgery, but performed electively for vision correction.

• EVO Implantable Collamer Lens: Involves implanting a small, flexible lens inside the eye to improve vision.

Our Botox treatments address these areas:

• Crow’s Feet: Botox smooths crow’s feet, the lines radiating from the corners of the eyes, by relaxing the underlying muscles.
• Forehead Lines: Botox softens forehead lines for a more youthful look.
• Glabellar Lines (Frown Lines): Botox reduces vertical lines between the eyebrows by relaxing the responsible muscles.

The cost of LASIK surgery can vary based on factors like your location, a surgeon’s expertise, the specific technology used, and whether the price includes pre- and post-operative care. It’s best to schedule a consultation with your provider for a personalized estimate.

Cataract surgery typically takes 10 to 20 minutes to perform, depending on the complexity of the case and the surgeon’s technique. However, you should plan to spend about 2 to 3 hours at the surgical center to allow time for pre-operative preparation, anesthesia, and post-operative monitoring. During the procedure, the cloudy lens is removed and replaced with a clear artificial intraocular lens (IOL), restoring vision. Cataract surgery is usually performed on an outpatient basis, so you can go home the same day. 

The out-of-pocket cost for a comprehensive eye exam at CLS Health is $384 for new patients without insurance. If you have health insurance and/or vision insurance, your out-of-pocket cost may be $0 depending on your specific plan coverage. For precise costs and insurance eligibility, consult your CLS Health eye care provider.

A diabetic eye exam is a specialized eye examination designed to detect and monitor vision problems caused by diabetes, such as diabetic retinopathy, macular edema, glaucoma, and cataracts. These conditions can lead to vision loss if not diagnosed and treated early. 

During the exam, your eye care provider may perform: 

• Dilated Eye Exam: To examine the retina and optic nerve for signs of damage. 
• Ocular Imaging: Such as optical coherence tomography (OCT) to assess retinal thickness and detect fluid buildup. 
• Fluorescein Angiography: To evaluate blood flow in the retina. 
• Eye Pressure Measurement: To check for glaucoma. 

Diabetic eye exams are recommended annually for individuals with diabetes, even if vision problems aren’t noticeable. Early detection is key to preventing vision loss. Schedule your diabetic eye exam today to safeguard your vision. 

Progressive lenses are multifocal eyeglass lenses designed to correct vision at multiple distances—near, intermediate, and far—without the visible lines found in traditional bifocals or trifocals. These lenses provide a seamless transition between different vision zones, allowing you to see clearly whether you're reading up close, working on a computer, or viewing objects at a distance. They are commonly recommended for individuals with presbyopia, a natural age-related condition that makes focusing on close objects more difficult. Progressive lenses offer a more natural visual experience and are aesthetically pleasing since they resemble regular single-vision lenses. 

Blue light glasses are specially designed eyewear that helps reduce exposure to blue light emitted by digital screens, such as computers, smartphones, and tablets. These glasses have lenses with a special coating or material that blocks or filters blue light, preventing it from entering your eyes. Blue light glasses aim to reduce digital eye strain symptoms, including dryness, irritation, and fatigue, by limiting the amount of blue light reaching your retina. While not a cure for vision problems, they can help improve comfort during prolonged screen use, especially for those who work on screens for extended hours. 

The best eye drops for dry eyes depend on the severity and underlying cause of your symptoms. Over-the-counter options include: 

• Artificial Tears: For mild to moderate dryness. Look for preservative-free formulas for frequent use. 
• Lubricating Gel Drops or Ointments: For long-lasting relief, especially overnight. 

For more severe or chronic dry eyes, your doctor may recommend: 

• Prescription Eye Drops: To reduce inflammation and increase tear production. 
• Steroid Eye Drops: For short-term use to address significant inflammation. 

Always consult your CLS Health eye care provider to determine the most effective treatment for your specific needs. Overuse or misuse of eye drops can sometimes worsen symptoms, so professional guidance is key. 

Glaucoma cannot currently be cured, but it can be effectively managed to prevent or slow down vision loss. This chronic eye condition causes damage to the optic nerve, often due to elevated intraocular pressure (IOP). Early detection and treatment are crucial to preserving vision. 

Common treatments include: 

• Prescription Eye Drops: To reduce eye pressure. 
• Laser Therapy: To improve fluid drainage in the eye. 
• Surgery: For more advanced cases to control eye pressure. 

While existing damage from glaucoma is irreversible, ongoing treatment and regular monitoring by an ophthalmologist can help maintain vision and prevent further progression.
