- Pediatric CareDuring my time at Southern College of Optometry, I had the privilege of rotating through different specialty clinics such as primary care, contact lenses, pediatrics, low vision, and ocular disease clinics. These rotations alongside my externships allowed me to develop a well-rounded skill set and provided exposure to a variety of eye conditions and diseases. Underthe guidance of experienced faculty and preceptors, I gained proficiency in performing comprehensive eye examinations, diagnosing and managing ocular diseases, and providing personalized treatment plans for patients of all ages.

- GlaucomaBecause the percentage of glaucoma and resulting blindness in native Louisianians is higher than the natural average, we’ve dedicated ourselves to the detection and management of the “silent stealer of sight” with the most advanced technology and medications available.
- OphthalmologyNo Hospitals, Plenty of Hospitality: We’re the only ophthalmology group in Louisiana with two Medicare – approved surgery centers. Hospital visits aren’t necessary.
- Macular DegenerationAs the body ages, so does the eye, resulting in vision problems identified as macular degeneration. With our visual – health screenings and other treatment programs, we have successfully helped our senior patients maintain and improve their sight.
- Laser Eye SurgeryAt LaHaye Total Eye Care, we never stop pursuing perfect vision. That’s why we spent years developing – and getting FDA clearance – on our next-generation laser vision correction procedure called LAHayeSIK™. This revolutionary approach to LAHayeSIK™ was undertaken by leading refractive surgeon Leon C. LaHaye, MD with a single goal in mind: enhance the overall safety, precision and accuracy of the traditional PRK and LASIK procedures while improving outcome and reducing the need for enhancement or retreatment.

- Cataract SurgeryA big topic in cataract surgery has been about the use multifocal and toric Intra-ocular lens (IOLs) as an alternative to the proven mono-focal IOLs for lens replacement following one’s cataract removal. So, “the results are great”, “patients are happy”, physicians earn more, and the intraocular lens manufacturers make billions, Too good to be true, well partially, at least the latter two are true with physicians earning more while the IOL manufactures make billions.
- Eye ExamFlashes and floaters can be alarming. Usually, however, an eye examination will confirm that they are harmless and do not require any treatment.

- Diabetic RetinopathyDiabetic retinopathy is a complication of diabetes mellitus which causes abnormalities in the tiny blood vessels nourishing the retina. These vessels weaken, leak fluid and blood, and fail to provide nutrients necessary for good health in the retina. Left untreated, diabetic retinopathy can result in severe visual loss, including blindness.
- UltrasoundAssists a surgeon in only several steps of a multi-step operation. Regardless that the femtosecond laser is used, the remaining more technically challenging aspects of the cataract procedure including; removing the cataract from the eye using ultrasound and aspiration, cleaning and polishing the capsular bag, insertion of the intra-ocular lens, removal of the viscoelastic, reconstitution of the globe, and instillation of intra-ocular medications must all be performed and completed by “hands on” techniques utilized in Standard (non-laser assisted) cataract surgery.
