What Solomon Eye Physicians & Surgeons does

Solomon Eye Physicians & Surgeons is a private ophthalmology practice operating two equipped offices in Bowie, MD and Greenbelt, MD, serving the broader D.M.V. (D.C., Maryland, Virginia) region. Founded by Dr. Stephen M. Solomon and led medically by Dr. Jonathan D. Solomon as Medical Director, the practice delivers comprehensive medical and surgical eye care across six clinical segments: cataract surgery (traditional phacoemulsification and laser-assisted using LENSAR technology with Augmented Reality 3D imaging), refractive surgery (LASIK with iFS femtosecond and CustomVue wavefront guidance, PRK, refractive lens exchange, and EVO ICL implantation), cornea disease (corneal cross-linking, full transplant types including DSEK/DSAEK/DMEK/DALK/PKP, INTACS, PTK, amniotic membrane grafts), glaucoma (MIGS procedures including iStent, canaloplasty, OMNI, goniotomy, Kahook Dual Blade, plus SLT laser and trabeculectomy), retina (diabetic retinopathy, macular degeneration), and ocular surface/dry eye disease, supported by advanced diagnostics such as Zeiss Beta technology and dedicated dry-eye devices (Meibox, TruTear, eyeXpress). The clinical team comprises board-certified, fellowship-trained ophthalmologists with subspecialty expertise and an optometrist for co-management, and Dr. Jonathan Solomon holds first-in-region distinctions for Visian Toric ICL and Apthera IOL implantation in the D.M.V. area.

The practice monetizes through professional services revenue from consultations and surgical procedures, supplemented by hardware sales of premium intraocular lenses (toric, multifocal/PanOptix trifocal, Light Adjustable Lens, Apthera). Pricing is quote-based and individualized per patient; specific fees are not publicly disclosed. Patient acquisition is direct-to-consumer, driven by local SEO, an active social media presence (Facebook, YouTube, Instagram), 782 Google reviews averaging 4.9/5, online appointment scheduling, a LASIK quiz funnel, and a referring-doctors co-management program. The practice maintains no disclosed external investment, no parent company, and operates as an independent private medical practice.

Products and services

• LASIK Laser vision correction procedure that reshapes the cornea using excimer laser technology to correct nearsightedness, farsightedness, and astigmatism, utilizing CustomVue and CustomCornea wavefront-guided correction with the iFS femtosecond laser for blade-free flap creation. Targeted at patients seeking to reduce or eliminate dependence on glasses and contact lenses.
• PRK (Photorefractive Keratectomy) Laser eye surgery that removes the corneal epithelium to access and reshape the cornea, offered as an alternative for patients with inadequate corneal thickness for LASIK. Targeted at refractive error patients who are not LASIK candidates.
• Refractive Lens Exchange (RLE) Surgical procedure that replaces the natural lens with an artificial intraocular lens to correct refractive errors such as presbyopia and high refractive errors; the same procedure as cataract surgery applied for vision correction purposes. Targeted at patients seeking lens-based vision correction.
• EVO ICL (Implantable Collamer Lens) Additive refractive implant made of biocompatible Collamer material that corrects myopia with or without astigmatism without removing corneal tissue; removable by the surgeon and offering UV protection. Targeted at patients with severe myopia or thin corneas unsuitable for laser vision correction.
• Traditional Cataract Surgery Micro-incision clear-corneal phacoemulsification cataract surgery using fine diamond-blade incisions that are self-healing without sutures. Targeted at adult cataract patients seeking vision restoration.
• Laser Cataract Surgery Custom therapeutic corneal laser-assisted cataract surgery using LENSAR technology with Augmented Reality 3D imaging for precise incision site determination, incision creation, and cataract breakdown. Targeted at cataract patients seeking a premium laser-assisted procedure.
• Light Adjustable Lens FDA-approved intraocular lens made from photosensitive silicone that can be adjusted post-surgery through UV light treatments to deliver customized vision outcomes. Targeted at cataract patients who want post-operative vision fine-tuning.
• Apthera IOL Replacement intraocular lens exclusively designed for near to far vision and everything in between; first available in the D.M.V. area through Dr. Jonathan Solomon, intended for use in one eye paired with a monofocal IOL in the other. Targeted at cataract patients seeking an extended range of vision.
• Cataract Lens Options (Toric and Multifocal IOLs including PanOptix Trifocal) Premium intraocular lens options for cataract surgery, including toric IOLs for astigmatism correction and multifocal IOLs such as the PanOptix Trifocal IOL for near, intermediate, and far vision. Targeted at cataract patients seeking reduced dependence on glasses.
• Corneal Cross-Linking (CXL) Minimally invasive procedure using UV riboflavin corneal collagen cross-linking to strengthen corneal collagen bonds and slow or arrest the progression of keratoconus. Targeted at keratoconus patients seeking to halt disease progression.
• Cornea Transplant (DSEK, DSAEK, DMEK, DALK, PKP) Corneal transplantation procedures including DSEK, DSAEK, DMEK, DALK, and PKP to replace damaged corneal tissue in various layers. Targeted at patients with corneal dystrophies, scarring, or advanced keratoconus.
• PTK (Phototherapeutic Keratectomy) Laser procedure to remove cloudiness and corneal irregularities such as scar tissue deeper than the superficial epithelial layer. Targeted at patients with corneal scars or surface irregularities.
• INTACS Corneal Implants Microscopic crescent-shaped devices implanted around the cornea edges to treat keratoconus by reshaping and reinforcing the cornea. Targeted at keratoconus patients seeking to stabilize and reshape their cornea.
• Superficial Keratectomy Procedure to smooth or remove the outermost corneal epithelium layer to treat corneal dystrophies, calcium buildup, scar tissue, and Salzmann's nodular degeneration. Targeted at patients with superficial corneal surface disease.
• Amniotic Membrane Grafts FDA-approved treatments using amniotic membrane tissue as bandages or grafts to promote healing, reduce inflammation, and reconstruct corneal or conjunctival tissue. Targeted at patients with persistent epithelial defects or ocular surface inflammation.
• MIGS (Minimally Invasive Glaucoma Surgery) Collection of microscopic incision glaucoma treatments including iStent, Canaloplasty, OMNI Glaucoma System, Goniotomy, and Kahook Dual Blade Goniotomy, designed to lower intraocular pressure with faster recovery than traditional surgery. Targeted at glaucoma patients in earlier stages seeking minimally invasive pressure reduction.
• Trabeculectomy Traditional glaucoma surgery creating a small drainage hole in the eye wall with a protective flap to lower intraocular pressure. Targeted at glaucoma patients requiring more aggressive pressure reduction.
• SLT Laser Therapy and YAG Laser Peripheral Iridotomy Selective laser trabeculoplasty using nonthermal nanosecond laser to stimulate healing in the eye's drainage system for primary and open-angle glaucoma, plus YAG laser peripheral iridotomy creating a small iris hole to widen the angle and reduce eye pressure for narrow-angle glaucoma. Targeted at glaucoma patients seeking laser-based pressure management.
• Diabetic Retinopathy Treatment Diagnosis and management of diabetic retinopathy including corticosteroid injections, laser procedures, and vitrectomy referrals. Targeted at diabetic patients with retinal complications.
• Macular Degeneration Management Management of dry and wet age-related macular degeneration including low vision aids, anti-VEGF injections, and laser surgery referrals. Targeted at patients with age-related macular degeneration.
• Dry Eye Treatment Comprehensive dry eye diagnosis and treatment using Meibox imaging, Allergan TruTear, eyeXpress therapeutic device, artificial tears, punctal occlusion, and prescription medications. Targeted at patients with chronic dry eye or ocular surface disease.
• Uveitis Treatment Treatment for inflammation of the uvea including steroid eye drops, injections, immunosuppressive medications, and pain-reducing drops. Targeted at patients with intraocular inflammation, including autoimmune-related uveitis.
• Scleritis Treatment Treatment for inflammation of the sclera including NSAIDs, corticosteroids, immunosuppressive drugs, antibiotics, and in severe cases scleral grafts. Targeted at patients with scleritis and related ocular inflammatory conditions.
• Comprehensive Eye Exams Comprehensive eye exams evaluating overall eye health including visual acuity tests, refraction tests, pupil dilation, and retina and optic nerve examination, supported by Zeiss Beta diagnostic technology. Targeted at patients seeking routine vision maintenance, early disease detection, and ongoing eye health management.
