Dr. Milauskas always believed in being at the forefront of advances in ophthalmology. He helped pioneer innovations such as Intraocular Lens Implants and phacoemulsification for cataract surgery which helped to revolutionize the procedure. He was the first doctor to open a laser center devoted to LASIK in the Coachella Valley. This philosophy of innovation has remained unchanged as the doctors of Milauskas Eye Institute continue to be at the forefront of cataract surgery, glaucoma, and refractive surgery.
