Dry Eye / Ocular Surface Treatment: 

Dr. Safran has written and lectured extensively on ocular surface issues including blepharitis, dry eye, conjunctivochalasis and allergy and has developed new techniques for dealing with some of these problems.  He has great expertise in dealing with Demodex related blepharitis and ocular surface issues and receives referrals from patients and other doctors from all over the United States to diagnose and manage these problems.

Dr. Safran has developed a new radiofrequency technique for the surgical treatment of Conjunctivochalasis (excess redundant conjunctiva overhanging the lid).  This common problem can cause tearing, foreign body sensation "red eyes" and difficulty reading and is often overlooked by eye care professionals.  A simple in office surgical treatment with the Ellman Radiofrequency surgical device in Dr. Safran's hands can reduce or eliminate Conjunctivochalasis in many cases improving patient comfort.

Diabetic Eye Treatments:

Diabetics present with a wide range of eye problems from ocular surface issues to retinopathy and Dr. Safran is uniquely qualified to diagnose, manage and treat the full spectrum of these problems in an integrated manner.  He has the latest diagnostic and therapeutic lasers available for his patients and can integrate care with other specialists when required.

Laser Vision Correction: 

Dr. Safran has been performing Lasik and PRK (photorefractive keratectomy) for over 20 years and has a special interest in advanced surface ablation of the cornea using the Excimer Laser.  He integrates ocular surface management into the strategy of improving healing time, comfort and outcomes for surface ablation to offer the safest possible choice in laser vision correction.

Facial Resurfacing: Wrinkle Reduction

Repair and Restore your Skin:

As a person ages, their collagen production begins to decline which leads to the breakdown of the skin’s underlying support structure. Daily exposure to UV rays and other environmental elements can cause the skin to become discolored and premature wrinkles may emerge. Treatments with the Cortex laser system will reduce wrinkles and rhytides due to the breakdown of collagen. The skin will have a smoother, tighter texture and pigmentation problems will begin to diminish.

With the latest Fractional CO2 and Erbium Lasers done in the office using the Sandstone Cortex Laser.  This can be combined with Laser Eyelid surgery to achieve functional and cosmetic rejuvenation.
