LASIK, CATARACT SURGERY AND DRY EYE EXPERIENCE

  • LASIK

    It wasn’t until Dr. Benjamin experienced the magic of LASIK himself at the age of 40, that he realized the apprehension, anxiety, and eventually the joy of being an ophthalmological patient. After going through with the surgery, he has both unique personal experience and genuine empathy for patients.
  • CATARACT

    Over the years, Dr. Benjamin has performed thousands of cataract surgeries. Unlike many other ophthalmologists, he has long and fundamentally switched to an all-laser cataract removal procedure instead of an ultrasound one, which is fraught with serious complications. Using the latest technology, Dr. Benjamin can work with all types of artificial lenses, including the most advanced ones, and will find the best option for you.
  • DRY EYE

    Dr. Benjamin has mastered every method for treating dry eye that is effective, and the Benjamin Eye Institute owns every unique piece of equipment necessary to save patients from constant discomfort. LipiFlow and OptiLight are two of the most recent treatments, and they are a true renaissance for the eyes.
