Product overview

Atlanta Vision Cataract and Laser Center is a comprehensive ophthalmology and optometry practice offering a unified suite of eye care services rather than a software platform.

Vision correction services include LASIK (using VISX Star S4 IR laser with Eyedesign Wavefront Technology and Zyoptix/Zytopix systems from Bausch & Lomb), PRK, and refractive lens exchange. The practice also provides medical eye care including glaucoma management (with SLT and MIGS procedures), corneal crosslinking for keratoconus, diabetic retinopathy treatment, macular degeneration care, and pediatric eye care. An on-site optical center provides prescription eyewear and contact lenses, including specialty SynergEyes lenses for keratoconus patients. The practice integrates advanced diagnostic technologies including corneal topography and wavefront analysis.

Products and services

• LASIK Surgery Laser-assisted refractive surgery that reshapes the cornea to correct nearsightedness, farsightedness, and astigmatism, offered using wavefront-guided Zyoptix/Zytopix technology from Bausch & Lomb for adult patients seeking to reduce dependence on glasses or contact lenses.
• Cataract Surgery Surgical removal of a clouded natural lens with replacement by an artificial intraocular lens (IOL), including standard and refractive cataract surgery with premium lens options, for patients with clinically significant cataracts.
• PRK Surgery Photorefractive keratectomy that applies laser pulses to the corneal surface to correct refractive errors without creating a corneal flap, offered as an alternative to LASIK.
• Corneal Crosslinking (CXL) FDA-approved procedure that strengthens corneal tissue using riboflavin (vitamin B2) drops followed by ultraviolet A light to halt the progression of keratoconus.
• Refractive Lens Exchange Surgical replacement of the natural lens with an artificial intraocular lens (IOL) to correct refractive errors, performed for vision correction purposes rather than cataract removal.
• Corneal Transplant Surgical procedure to replace a damaged or diseased cornea with healthy donor corneal tissue for patients with advanced corneal disease.
• Dry Eye Treatment Comprehensive diagnostic evaluation and therapeutic treatment of dry eye syndrome, addressing insufficient tear production or poor tear quality.
• Glaucoma Treatment Medical and surgical management of glaucoma, including medications, laser procedures (SLT), and minimally invasive glaucoma surgery (MIGS) to lower intraocular pressure.
• Macular Degeneration Treatment Diagnosis and ongoing management of age-related macular degeneration, including monitoring and treatment options to slow disease progression and preserve vision.
• Diabetic Retinopathy Treatment Diagnosis and treatment of diabetic retinopathy to prevent vision loss in patients with diabetes.
