Eye-lid Surgery
With a healthy lifestyle, we feel better and live longer. Sun damage, stress, and aging cause droopy eyelids. I perform blepharoplasty to restore a youthful, refreshed appearance.
Cataract Surgeries
I provide thorough cataract evaluations, discussing visual outcomes and complications. Using Phacoemulsification, I perform no-stitch surgery with premium foldable IOLs for effective treatment.
Oculoplastic Surgeries
I offer advanced oculoplastic surgeries to enhance eye functionality and aesthetics. Using state-of-the-art techniques, I provide personalized treatments for eyelids, tear ducts, and orbital issues.
Community Eye Health Services
I organize and lead eye camps to provide comprehensive eye care to underserved communities. These camps offer free eye examinations, treatments, and surgeries, ensuring accessible vision care for all
