Starr Vision provides the highest level of care for patients and offers the most advanced technologies available. Dr. Starr continually evaluates the latest clinical breakthroughs in ophthalmology. The best of these technological advances are then incorporated into the practice in order to optimize the safety profile and visual outcome of the patients at Starr Vision.

Dr. Starr is the first and only ophthalmologist in the local area to perform CK to treat presbyopia, Greek for "aging eye", to improve your near vision without reading glasses or bifocals. If you had good distance vision until age 40 to 45 without ever needing glasses or contacts, but now own multiple pairs of reading glasses or bifocals and must rely on them for even the most mundane daily tasks, then you can safely be treated in minutes right in Dr. Starr's office with CK. Or, if you need glasses or contacts for distance and reading glasses or bifocals for near vision, you can now dramatically improve both your distance and near vision without glasses or contacts by first having Dr. Starr perform LASIK for distance vision and then CK for near vision.

Superior results require the highest quality equipment, as well as a commitment to excellence in every step of the process. Starr Vision offers the most advanced, FDA-approved, state of the art lasers to perform LASIK: the LADARVISION 4000 Laser and the Allegreto Wavelight Laser. These lasers use the new wavefront-guided custom cornea technology to achieve markedly superior daytime and nighttime vision. The Allegreto laser has truly advanced corneal refractive surgery. It produces optimum visual outcomes using extremely fast and smooth ablations with a greater concentration in the periphery for a more natural corneal profile. The LADARVISION 4000 system which is used at Starr Vision has been inducted into the Space Technology Hall of Fame, a Space Foundation program in cooperation with NASA that recognizes innovative applications of space technologies. The LADARVISION 4000 Laser uses a tracking device that allows Dr. Starr to track involuntary eye movements at a rate of 4,000 times per second - 15 times faster than any other LASIK system used today. The LADARVISION 4000 system also uses the same laser radar technology originally developed to help NASA spacecraft rendezvous and dock with satellites.
At Starr Vision, we are committed to superceding the average standard of care. Safety is of utmost importance and we have taken every measure to ensure that you will receive the highest level of care. Keeping safety in mind, Dr. Starr is the first and only ophthalmologist to offer the All-Laser (Blade-less) LASIK with IntraLASE in the local area. The All-Laser LASIK with IntraLASE is a laser that safely creates extremely precise, predictable, customized LASIK flaps without the use of a blade or knife. Instead, the flap is created by thousands of tiny laser pulses applied over the course of a minute.

Your eyelids (and your eyes) are usually the first thing that other people notice when they look at you. With time, the aging process may cause your upper and lower eyelids to become droopy or baggy. Your sagging eyelids may give your entire face a sad, angry, or tired expression and the appearance of aging prematurely. By removing loose, slumping skin or puffy, bulging bags of fat from the upper and/or lower eyelids, Dr. Starr can brighten your face and restore a more youthful appearance.
Dr. Starr's extensive knowledge and experience combine to produce extremely accurate results. Dr. Starr realizes that each patient he evaluates and treats is a unique individual with particular needs. Therefore, even after thousands of eye surgeries, Dr. Starr understands that success is measured one patient at a time.
