Comprehensive Eye Exams
Our thorough eye exams detect refractive errors, diabetic retinopathy, glaucoma, and macular degeneration using advanced diagnostic technology. Patients receive personalized recommendations for corrective lenses or medical interventions while benefiting from our team's decades of clinical expertise.
Cataract Surgery
We perform phacoemulsification and laser-assisted cataract surgery with premium intraocular lens options. Our approach combines precision techniques to restore clear vision while addressing coexisting conditions like astigmatism through customized treatment planning.
Myopia Control
Our specialized clinic offers atropine drops, orthokeratology, and multifocal contact lenses to slow childhood myopia progression. We use axial length measurements and environmental risk assessments to create individualized plans that reduce long-term ocular disease risks.
Refractive Surgery
We provide corneal and lenticular procedures to correct myopia, hyperopia, and astigmatism. Our surgeons utilize advanced mapping technology to determine optimal candidates for LASIK alternatives and implantable collamer lenses.
Retinal Disorders
Our specialists diagnose and manage retinal breaks, detachments, and degenerative conditions using OCT imaging and fluorescein angiography. Treatment options include laser therapy and coordination with vitreoretinal surgeons for complex cases.

A old lady in the reception on the phone was very very to me and doesnt want to help. I called in two days ago to follow up a referral appointment at sick kids and being told to call another office. The another office asked me to call sick kids. Sick kids said they never received referral and I have to call the office again. When I call the doctor office again, the lady picked up the phone blamed me about calling sick kids directly. I explained to her that I was told to call sick kids by somebody in the other office. She then told me that this is my third time telling you and I am not going

As I muse on the words of wisdom enshrined in this golden thought it sparkles like a precious diamond in my mind and so it is against this lucent backdrop that I am taking the liberty of writing this 'Revised Review' of Dr.Steve Arshinoff who is not only a world leader who can perform sequential bilateral cataract surgery in which both eyes of the patient undergo the operation during the same session but ,in my humble view, 'an Angel of Humanity.

It's so good to be able to read again after surgery. Dr. Arshinoff did a great job on aging eyes, and was thorough in the preparatory stages. I appreciate the time, care and expertise that went into the entire process. Desk staff was friendly and efficient.

Judging by the dated interior of this facility, they've been around for awhile. I expected a smoother transition when it comes to setting up exams followed by surgery. The front desk is always rushing you in and out almost like they dont want to deal with you. The eye examiner (seems like a student) he brings you in just to brief you and he's basically redundant when it comes to answering questions. The doctor himself has no patience when dealing with you. And they have you go to 3 different facilities before getting the surgery done. I'm under the impression that there is a simpler solution to

I've been a patient for over 10 years. Great staff, kind, efficient and well organized. Dr Arshinoff did for me what 3 other specialists could or would not do which has vastly improved my quality of life.
