Cataract Procedures
Cataracts are one of the most common causes of vision loss in adults, and cataract surgery is one of the safest and most frequently performed procedures in the world. At OC Eye Institute, we offer the full range of cataract care — from initial evaluation and monitoring to advanced surgical treatment with premium lens options. Our cataract services include:
Cataracts — Comprehensive evaluation, monitoring, and treatment for clouded lenses that are affecting your daily vision and quality of life.
Laser Cataract Surgery — Blade-free, computer-guided laser technology for greater precision, a smaller incision, and a gentler surgical experience compared to conventional cataract surgery.
Multifocal Lenses — Premium IOL technology that provides clear vision at multiple distances, significantly reducing or eliminating dependence on reading glasses after surgery.
Toric IOL — A specialized intraocular lens designed to correct corneal astigmatism at the time of cataract surgery for sharper, clearer post-operative vision.
Refractive Lens Exchange — A proactive lens replacement procedure identical to cataract surgery, performed before a cataract develops to correct presbyopia or farsightedness and eliminate future cataract risk.
LASIK and Refractive Vision Correction
Freedom from glasses and contact lenses is achievable for many patients through laser vision correction. At OC Eye Institute, our LASIK and refractive services include:
LASIK Overview — Blade-free laser reshaping of the cornea to correct nearsightedness, farsightedness, and astigmatism with rapid recovery and outstanding results.
PRK — An excellent LASIK alternative for patients with thinner corneas or active lifestyles, delivering equivalent long-term visual outcomes without creating a corneal flap.
Are You a LASIK Candidate? — A detailed overview of the evaluation criteria that determine whether LASIK is safe and appropriate for your individual eyes.
Common LASIK Questions — Answers to the questions patients ask most often about the LASIK procedure, recovery, and long-term outcomes.
Monovision — A vision correction strategy in which one eye is set for distance and the other for near, reducing the need for reading glasses in patients with presbyopia.
Dry Eye Treatments
Dry eye disease is one of the most common and frequently underdiagnosed eye conditions affecting adults. At OC Eye Institute, we perform comprehensive dry eye evaluations and offer personalized treatment plans ranging from conservative therapies to prescription medications. Learn more on our Dry Eye Treatments page.

Pterygium Surgery — Expert evaluation and outpatient surgical removal of pterygium growths using conjunctival autografting to minimize recurrence risk.
Glaucoma — State-of-the-art glaucoma testing and a full range of treatment options including prescription eye drops, SLT laser therapy, and surgery to protect your vision from this silent, progressive condition.

Does OC Eye Institute perform LASIK surgery?
Yes. OC Eye Institute offers blade-free LASIK and PRK laser vision correction performed by Dr. George Salib, who has undergone LASIK himself. We also perform a thorough pre-operative evaluation to determine whether you are a good LASIK candidate before recommending the procedure. Payment plans are available to help make LASIK accessible.
What cataract surgery options are available at OC Eye Institute?
OC Eye Institute offers both conventional and laser-assisted cataract surgery, along with a full range of premium intraocular lens options including multifocal IOLs for reduced dependence on glasses and toric IOLs for astigmatism correction. Dr. Salib will evaluate your individual eyes and recommend the best lens and technique for your visual goals and lifestyle.
Does OC Eye Institute treat glaucoma?
Yes. Glaucoma diagnosis and management is one of our core services. We use state-of-the-art testing equipment including visual field analyzers, an optic nerve analyzer, and corneal pachymetry to detect glaucoma early — often before symptoms appear. Treatment options include prescription eye drops, Selective Laser Trabeculoplasty (SLT), and surgery when needed. We measure eye pressure without the air puff method.
Can OC Eye Institute help with dry eyes?
Yes. Our team performs comprehensive dry eye evaluations and offers tailored treatment plans based on the underlying cause and severity of your condition. Treatment options range from preservative-free artificial tears and lifestyle modifications to prescription anti-inflammatory drops and in-office therapies. Addressing dry eye is also an important part of our pre-operative evaluation for patients considering LASIK.
Does OC Eye Institute perform in-office laser procedures?
Yes. OC Eye Institute performs several in-office laser eye treatments right in the clinic using only numbing eye drops — no surgery center required. These include Selective Laser Trabeculoplasty (SLT) for glaucoma pressure reduction, Laser Peripheral Iridotomy (LPI) to prevent acute angle-closure glaucoma, and YAG capsulotomy to clear cloudiness after cataract surgery. Each procedure takes just a few minutes and patients typically return to normal activities the same day.
