- GlaucomaKnown as “the silent thief of sight,†glaucoma is a serious eye condition that can severely impact your vision and health. Unfortunately, most people don’t know they have glaucoma until it’s too late, but our expert team can identify the hard-to-find signs and develop a plan to preserve your vision before permanent damage occurs.

Ketchum University. He then completed his residency at the University of Alabama at Birmingham, focusing on ocular diseases and hospital-based optometry. Dr. Okamoto also worked at an ophthalmology practice for a decade. He specializes in treating dry eye patients and those needing specialty contact lenses.
- Macular DegenerationAge-related macular degeneration (AMD) develops when your macula — the part of your retina that’s responsible for central vision — becomes damaged. The two main types of macular degeneration are dry and wet, and both can lead to vision loss. Dry AMD develops slowly as you age and may potentially progress into wet AMD if the blood vessels in the back of your eye begin to leak.
- Laser Eye SurgeryWith the help of our trusted partner surgeons, we’re also able to offer life-changing, vision-enhancing procedures such as LASIK or cataract surgery.
- CataractsCataracts occur when your eye’s natural lens begins to cloud: proteins in the lens break down, causing blurry vision, lack of color perception, and eventually vision loss. We’ll monitor your eyesight with comprehensive eye exams and manage your vision with customized eyewear, but resolving cataracts will ultimately require surgery. When you’re ready, we’ll connect you with a talented ophthalmic surgeon to restore or even enhance your vision.
- Cataract SurgeryYou’re in experienced hands at Granite Pointe Eye Care. We’re proactive about detecting and managing issues early with our advanced technology, and we’ll make sure you completely understand the changes in your eyes and vision. Whether it’s managing your symptoms with customized eyewear, or co-managing your cataract surgery with our reliable partners, our doctors will always have a comprehensive plan of action to care for you and your eyes.
- Eye ExamDiabetes can have a strong impact on your eyes. High blood sugar can result in abnormal blood vessel formation that can clog blood flow into the eye or leak onto the retina. During a comprehensive eye exam, we use Optos ultra-widefield™ retinal imaging to gain a complete picture of the back of your eyes to monitor for minute changes: early awareness is key to better outcomes. We’ll work with you and any other doctors to keep your eyes healthy.
- Diabetes Care
- Diabetic RetinopathyDiabetes can affect your health in a variety of ways, and when left unaddressed, can result in permanent vision loss. At Granite Pointe Eye Care, our team is skilled in looking after our diabetic patients, and we’re trained to identify and manage one of its most serious complications: diabetic retinopathy.
- Reconstructive SurgeryReconstructive Surgery — Repairs damages to the structure of the eye and surrounding areas to restore function, preserve vision, and improve health
- BotoxInjectables like BOTOX® Cosmetic, smooth out wrinkles for a more youthful appearance by temporarily freezing muscles, preventing the formation of new lines and wrinkles from deepening. Whereas, injectable dermal fillers, like JUVÉDERM®, instead restore age-related volume loss under the skin for a refreshed look.
- Eyelid SurgeryCosmetic Eyelid Surgery — Removes sagging skin, treats puffy eyes, or repairs drooping lids to enhance the appearance of your eyelid and improve vision
- BlepharoplastyA blepharoplasty, also known as an eye lift, is a procedure where excess skin around the upper and lower parts of the eye is removed. This procedure is not always strictly cosmetic and can also be used to correct vision issues, like ptosis or hereditary issues.
- LesionsA trained ophthalmologist can help correct any issues you may have with the structure of the facial bones around the eyes. Oculoplastic reconstructive surgeries can include orbital fractures, eyelid lesions, and drooping eyelids or brows.
