Wide Range of Services


We don’t believe in a one-size-fits-all approach to vision correction and eye health. While we offer the most common procedures, like LASIK and premium cataract surgery, we also have other services as well. Your eyes are as unique as you, and we’ll work with you to understand what treatment is best for you based on your goals and needs. In addition to refractive and cataract surgeries, we offer refractive lens exchange (RLE), general ophthalmology, advanced dry eye care, glaucoma and retina treatment, and more.

DLV Vision In-House Cataract Surgery

In-House Cataract Surgery


DLV Vision is proud to restore eyesight lost due to cataracts with our in-house cataract surgery options. This is an excellent alternative for patients who have an HMO, a high deductible PPO insurance, or no insurance at all. You don’t need to go to another surgery center — even if you’re uninsured! Our team of experts use high-tech tools and equipment in our cataract surgery and can even offer premium intraocular lenses (IOLs), to enhance your vision after surgery, potentially reducing your reliance on glasses or contact lenses. We offer a range of payment plans to make this procedure accessible to everyone and can even do surgery on both of your eyes on the same day!

Advanced Technology


Our team uses state-of-the-art technologies to perform your surgery and is expertly trained in three different excimer laser systems, as well as two different keratome technologies. We’re the first in the region to carry the Swiss-made Ziemer Z8 femtosecond laser for cataract and LASIK surgery and INTACS ring incisions. And to position ourselves on the cutting-edge of ocular surgery, we offer CATz (Topography Guided LASIK). Dr. Dougherty also helped develop the EVO Implantable Collamer™ Lens (ICL) from Visian, being one of four surgeons in the U.S. to be in the Elite Master’s Club of STAAR Surgical, the device’s manufacturer.
