laser cataract surgeryExperience the gift of revitalized vision
Laser cataract surgery is a procedure that involves using a laser to extract a cloudy lens and subsequently replaces it with an artificial prescription lens, helping to restore clear vision. In decades past, the only way to carry out cataract surgery was manually with a scalpel. Technological advancements in laser surgery have enabled top-tier eye doctors like Dr. Shakir to achieve incredibly accurate results. Patients who undergo laser cataract surgery experience incredible improvements in their vision.

Patients plagued by the challenges of chronic floaters and the subsequent changes in their vision need not endure any longer. With expertise honed through countless successful interventions, the esteemed team at Coastal Eye is well-equipped to address this prevalent concern, working diligently to restore optimal clarity and visual harmony to the eyes of their valued patients.
