At Vantage Eye Center’s Ryan Ranch location in Monterey, our surgeons treat a wide range of corneal and vision conditions—from LASIK for nearsightedness, farsightedness, and astigmatism to advanced corneal care for conditions such as keratoconus and corneal disease. Services include laser vision correction and surgical solutions, such as corneal transplantation, with care tailored to each patient’s eye health and visual needs.

Dr. Bidar and Dr. Bernardino offer a variety of cosmetic eye treatments and surgeries to help you look and feel your best. For patients with sagging upper eyelids or puffy bags under the eyes, we perform blepharoplasty (eyelid lift surgery) to remove excess skin and fat, resulting in a more open and refreshed appearance. This outpatient surgery can not only improve appearance but also expand your field of vision if droopy lids were impairing it. We also provide browpexy procedures to elevate and smooth a heavy brow line, which can complement an eyelid lift for a complete rejuvenation of the eye area. In addition to surgical options, we offer non-surgical treatments, such as Botox injections to smooth crow’s feet or frown lines gently, and dermal fillers to restore volume to hollowed areas around the eyes. These quick in-office treatments have minimal downtime and can significantly improve your appearance, softening wrinkles and subtly enhancing your natural features.

One of the most important ways to protect your vision is to schedule annual eye exams. Regular eye exams are the cornerstone of preventive eye care and one of the most important ways to protect your vision. At Vantage Eye Center, our Monterey eye doctors offer both routine vision exams and comprehensive medical eye exams based on your needs. Routine eye exams are ideal for checking visual clarity, updating glasses or contact lens prescriptions, and confirming overall eye comfort. Comprehensive exams, on the other hand, provide a deeper evaluation of eye health through advanced testing and dilation, allowing for the detection of conditions early, when they are most treatable.

Our glaucoma specialists are dedicated to protecting your vision from this stealthy disease. We emphasize the importance of early detection during every comprehensive exam. We screen for glaucoma by checking your eye pressure and assessing the health of your optic nerve. Treatment may include prescription eye drop medications, SLT laser therapy, or minimally invasive glaucoma surgery (MIGS) techniques that improve fluid drainage in the eye.

Our knowledgeable opticians will help you find the perfect eyewear from a wide selection of frames, ranging from top designer brands to budget-friendly options, and ensure your lenses are crafted for optimal vision. Our Ryan Ranch office features an optical shop located right inside the clinic, allowing you to immediately fill a new eyeglass prescription or upgrade your frames after your exam.

Our team of retina surgeons utilizes the world’s best imaging systems to detect and diagnose diseases such as macular degeneration, diabetes, macular pucker, and inflammatory conditions of the retina and choroid. We restore, improve, and preserve our patient’s vision using the latest treatments and technology.
