An ophthalmology/optometry practice (6 OD’s, 1 MD) that provides cataract and refractive surgery procedures that includes pre- and post-op management, as well as primary care and disease management. Our campus includes an ASC, clinic, LASIK suite and optical. There are 12 fully equipped lanes as well as auxillary testing ( OCT, visual fields, topographer, Pentacam, Lipiscan/Lipiflow). Our ASC includes a femtosecond laser, ORA and YAG laser. Our ICO alumni are prepared to provide the best experience for the students, as we fully understand the importance of the externship program.
