Carolina Ophthalmology has been serving the people of Western North Carolina for over 40 years and our reputation for quality surgical outcomes is well established.

We are committed to offering the most advanced technology available to our patients. Our newest offerings include the revolutionary LenSx® laser for laser-assisted cataract surgery; premium lenses for cataract surgery such as the PanOptix® Trifocal lens, Tecnis® Symfony lens, and toric lenses, which reduce the dependence on glasses after cataract surgery. Carolina Ophthalmology offers the ORA (OptiWave Refractive Analysis) system, new technology that measures the refractive power of the eye during cataract surgery to assist the surgeon with optimum lens selection. Carolina Ophthalmology offers the newest injectable drugs, such as Eylea and Lucentis that provide breakthrough treatments for wet macular degeneration patients; as well as the most current technology to treat patients for glaucoma, including minimally invasive glaucoma surgery or MIGS surgery.

Our cosmetic division, Carolina Skin and Laser, is proud to offer the UltraPulse CO2 laser for state-of-the-art facial skin resurfacing as well as the Coherent M22 Laser, a technically advanced laser that offers facial rejuvenation by treating delicate broken veins, sun damage and other skin imperfections with remarkable results.

At Carolina Ophthalmology, our doctors and staff are committed to your satisfaction. Because we are a surgical based practice, we work closely with area Optometrists to ensure that all of your eye care needs are met. We recognize that each of our patients has their own unique issues and that is why we listen before we treat!
