Testimonials
Dear Dr. Soroudi, I cannot tell you how happy I am with my monovision with LASIK. Because of my farsightedness, I have had to wear glasses with bifocal segments so I can see far and near.

Diabetic Disease of the Retina
Diabetes is still one of the major causes of blindness in the United States and worldwide. Just the same way that people with severe diabetes lose their toes or fingers because of a severe lack of blood flow to their limbs, diabetes also inhibits proper blood flow to the back of the eye (retina), which, with time, leads to the formation of multiple small hemorrhages, aneurysms, formation of new (abnormal) blood vessels (“neovascularization”), severe bleeding, and ultimately, detachment and scarring of the retina, which leads to permanent blindness.
The Soroudi Advanced Eye Center is equipped with the latest technology in the detection and close monitoring of diabetic retinal disease. A fundus camera with capability to perform Fluorescine Angiography by Carl Zeiss Meditec, which incorporates the most advanced technology into its products, provides Dr. Soroudi with detailed information about the severity and areas of involvement, which helps him with making the right decision about the timing, the modality of treatment, as well as the aggressiveness of the necessary treatment.
At the same time, the center is also equipped with a Stratus Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) Device, also by Carl Zeiss Meditec, which provides extremely detailed information about the thickness of the center of the retina (the Macula), which also helps Dr. Soroudi monitor the progress of his laser treatments with extreme accuracy and with utmost detail. This technology is the “gold-standard” in the management of diabetic retinopathy in the world today.
It has been discovered that the application of heat to the retina with a laser can help prevent the progression of the disease and improve vision. To this end, Dr. Soroudi has extensive experience in early diagnosis and treatment of all levels of diabetic retinopathy, and the Soroudi Advanced Eye Center is equipped with a state-of-the-art Argon Laser by Carl Zeiss Meditec to treat such disease immediately and in the convenience of the office environment.
Pan-Retinal Photocoagulation
By early detection, providing “pan-retinal photocoagulation” and controlling patients’ blood sugar, we can now help prevent disastrous complications of diabetic retinopathy. Dr. Soroudi will explain all your treatment options during your consulation.
