When it comes to restoring and preserving vision, Pham Eye in Yorktown Heights stands at the forefront of innovation. Led by board-certified ophthalmologist and Castle Connolly Top Doctor Dr. Lan Pham, the practice has proudly served Westchester and Putnam counties for over 25 years. Known for her surgical precision, compassionate care, and dedication to advancing eye health, Dr. Pham offers the latest technology in cataract surgery, lens implants, and glaucoma management—often combining these treatments to achieve the best possible results.
Cataracts develop gradually, clouding the eye’s natural lens and affecting daily activities like reading and driving. During cataract surgery, the cloudy lens is replaced with a clear, artificial intraocular lens (IOL). Pham Eye offers a range of advanced lens implants—from monofocal to multifocal and toric lenses—tailored to meet each patient’s visual goals. These modern implants can often reduce or eliminate the need for glasses after surgery, restoring clarity and focus to daily life.
With state-of-the-art laser technology, Dr. Pham performs laser-assisted cataract surgery, providing enhanced accuracy and precision. This technique allows for a more customized procedure and precision, giving patients a clearer path to improved vision with minimal discomfort.
Dr. Pham provides options for patients with both cataracts and glaucoma, offering surgical techniques designed to manage intraocular pressure and protect vision during cataract surgery. For patients with both cataracts and glaucoma, Dr. Pham evaluates each patient individually and can discuss treatment options. Combined procedures can be performed to manage eye pressure while addressing vision loss. Techniques such as minimally invasive glaucoma surgery (MIGS) can be done during cataract surgery, helping preserve optic nerve health.
Laser has added precision and accuracy. I prefer laser in denser cataracts, narrow angles and cases with potentially weakened support for a gentler outcome.
Absolutely. Both procedures can be managed during surgery to address both cataract and glaucoma conditions.
We have questionnaires and video simulations during our consent process to review what options would best fit our patients lifestyles, wants and needs. We have lengthy discussions to help our patients understand what is available before they make this important decision.
With her expertise and personalized approach, Dr. Lan Pham and the team at Pham Eye continue to bring world-class ophthalmic care to Yorktown Heights—helping patients see life more clearly, one eye at a time.
