Optima Ophthalmic Medical Associates, Inc. is an established ophthalmology practice organization located in the Bay Area of California, with its operations dating back to 1983. Advanced surgical eye care has been the foundation of the institute, and it has put a lot of emphasis on aspects of refraction and cataracts. The practice covers a wide range of patients in its various locations, which are in San Jose, Hayward, and Castro Valley.
The surgeons who head the practice are Dr. Mark R. Mandel and Dr. Robin Kuriakose, who are fellowship-trained corneal specialists and have decades of surgical experience. They have a history of working in corneal and refractive surgery, and hence, they are able to deal with complex vision conditions in a precise fashion. The staff collaborates closely with a significant number of optometrists in Northern California, assisting in the management of the coordinated care before and after surgeries.
Optima specializes in a broad range of specialized care, which is mainly based on laser vision correction and complex surgical care. These are LASIK (and bladeless and all-laser methods), PRK, refractive lens exchange, EVO implantable contact lens procedures, and laser-assisted cataract surgery. It is also used to treat such conditions as keratoconus with the help of corneal collagen cross-linking and provides pterygium surgery and other cornea treatments. They make use of a combination of detailed clinical assessment along with individualized programs of treatment based on the structure of the eye and vision objectives of the particular patient.
They rely heavily on technology in care delivery and use new laser technology, including femtosecond lasers, WaveLight excimer lasers, and LenSx technology, to perform cataract surgery. The tools assist in high accuracy and enhanced safety in the operation. The clinic sets itself the goal of high visual results, high safety levels, and selective patients.
As products are concerned, Optima provides a variety of high-quality intraocular lenses and vision correction implants, such as toric lenses that correct astigmatism; multifocal lenses such as PanOptix and Symphony; Vivity lenses; and Light Adjustable Lenses. They also offer implantable contact lenses (EVO ICL) as a viable alternative to conventional LASIK for individuals. These are superior optical systems, which seek to minimize the use of glasses and provide sharper and personalized vision post-surgery.
