Services Offered

Dr. Elisse Park offers a comprehensive and patient-centered range of ophthalmological services at her practice in Fairfield, Connecticut, and through her affiliations with Bridgeport Hospital and Connecticut Eye Surgery Center South. Her practice covers the full spectrum of eye health — from routine preventive eye care and vision assessments to advanced surgical interventions for complex conditions such as cataracts and glaucoma — ensuring that patients of all ages receive expert, individualized ophthalmic care close to home.

Her cataract surgery services are among the most frequently sought-after at her practice. Dr. Park performs cataract surgery involving the removal of the cloudy natural lens and replacement with a clear artificial intraocular lens (IOL), restoring sharp, clear vision for patients whose daily life has been affected by progressive lens clouding. Her surgical affiliation with Connecticut Eye Surgery Center South — recognized as a Best ASC in Ophthalmology — ensures that patients undergo their procedures in a top-rated, specialized surgical environment.

Her glaucoma services provide patients with thorough evaluation of intraocular pressure and optic nerve health, along with individualized management plans that may include topical medications, laser therapy, or surgical intervention depending on the severity and progression of the condition. Early detection and consistent monitoring are central to her glaucoma care approach, as timely intervention is critical to preventing irreversible vision loss in this often asymptomatic condition.

Her macular degeneration services address one of the leading causes of central vision loss in older adults, offering patients accurate diagnosis through advanced imaging technologies such as optical coherence tomography (OCT) and personalized treatment and monitoring plans aimed at slowing disease progression and preserving functional vision for as long as possible.

Dr. Park also provides comprehensive general ophthalmology services including routine eye examinations, vision correction consultations, diabetic eye disease screening and monitoring, dry eye management, and evaluation of refractive errors.
