Surgical expertise
Glaucoma Surgery
Comprehensive glaucoma care from diagnosis and laser treatment to angle- and canal-based procedures, trabeculectomy, glaucoma drainage devices and surgery for complex or previously operated eyes.
Advanced Anterior Segment Surgery
Complex cataract, unstable or dislocated lenses and IOLs, aphakia, iris abnormalities and previously operated eyes — particularly when glaucoma or altered anatomy changes the surgical plan.
ADVANCED ANTERIOR SEGMENT SURGERY
Cataract & Lens Surgery
Modern small-incision cataract surgery with individualized refractive planning and a contemporary range of intraocular lens options, including monofocal, toric, enhanced monofocal, extended-depth-of-focus and multifocal/trifocal lenses when appropriate.
Refractive Surgery
Refractive assessment and surface laser vision correction for appropriately selected patients, with candidacy based on refraction stability, corneal anatomy, ocular-surface health and visual goals.
Also available: Comprehensive Ophthalmology & Eye Checkups
Routine eye examinations, assessment of new visual concerns, glaucoma and cataract screening, and second opinions.
GENERAL OPHTHALMOLOGY & EYE CHECKUPS
The right technology for the right eye
Modern ophthalmology offers more diagnostic, lens and surgical options than ever before. The value of that technology lies in choosing it well.
For glaucoma, cataract and complex anterior segment disease, the plan depends on the anatomy of the eye, disease severity, previous surgery, visual needs and the long-term options that should remain available.
The objective is not to use the newest procedure by default, but to select the most appropriate strategy for the individual eye and explain clearly why it is being recommended.
Complex eyes require a different plan
Previous surgery, glaucoma, weak lens support, aphakia, iris abnormalities or a displaced intraocular lens can turn an apparently routine problem into a more complex surgical decision.
Dr Seif’s advanced anterior segment practice focuses on these situations, particularly when several problems need to be considered together.
COMPLEX ANTERIOR SEGMENT & LENS SURGERY
