Elevate Your Vision With Our Specialized Services

At Young H. Choi Eye Surgery Center, this procedure is meticulously tailored to each patient’s unique vision needs — utilizing state-of-the-art technology to ensure precise outcomes. Refractive cataract surgery represents a significant advancement in treating cataracts, combining the cataract removal process with vision correction techniques to not only clear the clouded lens but also address preexisting refractive errors such as nearsightedness, farsightedness and astigmatism.

This procedure offers a permanent solution for those wishing to alter the color of their irises. Unlike temporary solutions such as colored contact lenses, studies indicate that eye color change surgery is a safer alternative in the long term. Dr. Choi is the only ophthalmologist in the United States to have trained in Paris under Dr. Francis Ferrari — the pioneering physician behind this technique. This exclusive training places Dr. Choi at the forefront of cosmetic eye surgery, offering his patients a unique aesthetic change and a safer alternative to the extended use of color contact lenses.

We offer a range of vision correction surgeries to transform your sight. LASIK, known for its precision and effectiveness, reshapes the cornea to correct vision issues such as nearsightedness, farsightedness and astigmatism. SMILE (Small Incision Lenticule Extraction) represents a cutting-edge, less invasive alternative to LASIK, involving a smaller incision and offering a quicker recovery time. Dr. Choi proudly stands as the first practitioner in Alabama to perform SMILE surgery, demonstrating his commitment to bringing the latest advancements in eye care to his patients.

Selective Laser Trabeculoplasty (SLT) and Goniotomy are minimally invasive procedures for managing glaucoma. Unlike some glaucoma surgeries, SLT does not require a physical incision — making it a repeatable option should the need arise. Goniotomy is a procedure traditionally used in pediatric patients but is increasingly recognized for its effectiveness in adults with certain types of glaucoma. Both techniques are celebrated for their safety profiles and efficacy, preserving vision with less risk than more invasive surgical options.
