Ophthalmology in the Lowcountry since 2006
Today is a beautiful day.
Let us help you see it.
Comprehensive eye exams, advanced cataract surgery, and medical eye care for Bluffton and Hilton Head Island — from board-certified ophthalmologists who have cared for this community for nearly twenty years.
What we do
Complete eye care, from annual exams to advanced surgery
Most people meet us for a routine exam. Some of them we go on to care for through cataract surgery, glaucoma management, or a sudden problem that can't wait.
-
Comprehensive Eye Exams
A full eye exam checks how well you see and how healthy your eyes are — performed by a board-certified eye physician, not just a vision screening.
-
Cataract Surgery
One of the most common and most reliably successful operations in medicine — and one our surgeons have performed thousands of times, here in the Lowcountry.
-
Macular Degeneration Care
Macular degeneration affects the central vision you use to read, drive, and recognise faces. Caught early and monitored properly, a great deal can be done to protect it.
-
Diabetic Eye Exams & Retinopathy Care
If you have diabetes, an annual dilated eye exam is the single most effective way to protect your sight — even when your vision seems perfectly fine.
-
Glaucoma Diagnosis & Management
Glaucoma takes peripheral vision so gradually that most people never notice until it is gone. Found early, it is very manageable.
-
Dry Eye Diagnosis & Treatment
Burning, gritty, watering eyes and vision that keeps going in and out — dry eye is common, genuinely miserable, and very treatable.
-
Cataract Lens Options
The lens you choose shapes how much you rely on glasses afterwards. Here is what the options actually mean, without the marketing.
-
Dropless Cataract Surgery
The medication goes in during surgery instead of into your hand four times a day for a month.
