PINNACLE VETERINARY CENTER

D

r. Shokar founded Pinnacle Veterinary Center in 2018 and has been committed to bringing quality care to Santa Clarita’s fur babies ever since. Dr. Shokar has always had a keen interest in surgery since he started practicing veterinary medicine.

This interest has blossomed into real expertise as he has performed thousands of procedures over the years. At the same time, he has always placed particular professional emphasis on dental care for our pets. As poor dental hygiene can contribute to a host of different diseases in pets, he spent years learning and perfecting new techniques to help provide the highest quality of dental care possible. Pinnacle has been lucky to find a team of technicians and veterinarians who are skilled and experienced in providing a variety of dental procedures.

The Pinnacle team has certainly grown over the years but they have strived to do so in a way that allows them to expand their offerings to the community without compromising standards of care. Particularly during the COVID-19 pandemic, the Pinnacle team aims to ensure a safe environment while still providing exceptional care to each patient that comes through the door.

Although veterinary medicine has been the passion of Dr. Shokar’s life, he does occasionally have some spare time to himself!

When he can get some time off, he enjoys traveling, reading and going on hikes with his two terrier/miniature poodle mixedbreed dogs named Castor and Pollux (People find it hard to believe because of their fur color but they are actually brothers from the same litter!). He is exceptionally grateful for the warm reception he has received from the SCV community and looks forward to continuing to serve our beloved fur babies!

Laser-Assisted Cataract Surgery!

A

s the decades progress, new medical technology emerges that paves the way for increased efficiency, better predictability, and improved safety when it comes to tedious procedures and unique cases. The Ziemer FEMTO LDV Z8 laser is the latest technology that we have introduced to Helm Vision Group. This laser has transformed our LASIK laser vision correction procedures to be completely blade free and assists us with cataract procedures, as well.

Our primary, initial reason for acquiring the Ziemer FEMTO LDV Z8 laser was to perform part of the procedure for LASIK laser vision correction, replacing the microkeratome blade. This versatile laser, however, is also capable of performing laser-assisted cataract surgery so we began using it for this purpose. What we have discovered through its use has been surprising! I was surprised to find that cataract surgery was made easier for me as a surgeon. The precision of the laser-made incisions in the cornea and in the lens capsule are amazing.

The most important help provided by the laser though, is that it softens the cataract by lasering it into smaller pieces. That makes it so that it requires less ultrasound energy to remove it. This results in easier surgery and a faster recovery. For some cataracts that are more advanced, femtosecond laser-assisted cataract surgery truly is a safer procedure.

Safety is a priority at Helm Vision Group. We have a long history of delivering outstanding visual outcomes to our patients. The addition of the Ziemer FEMTO LVD Z8 laser adds to our ability to provide additional measures of safety and precision.

At Helm Vision Group we are committed to providing the highest technology available to provide our patients with the best care.

Our offerings match what is available at only the finest institutions in the country. If your vision has notably declined and you know that you have cataracts or would like to find out if you have them, call our office at (661) 259-3937 to schedule a consultation. There are many causes of blurry vision but there are many cures!

We look forward to serving you!

D MICHAEL CORBEN O.D.

JOSHUA CORBEN O.D.

Corben Optometry

o I need an eye exam every time I need more contact lenses? In one simple word, YES. The Doctors and staff at Corben Optometry believe that having an exam will reduce the potential implications of overuse and abuse of contact lens wear. The Doctors look for signs of damage that, if left untreated, may lead to more severe problems. These often have no symptoms early on and you may be totally unaware of them.

Contact lenses are often more complex than they appear. Contact lens wear causes many changes to cells and tissues of the eye, and sometimes wearing contact lenses can damage the cornea (the clear window of the eye). Even if you are currently experiencing no problems, the lenses may be causing damage to your eyes. After the initial exam, the doctors will perform a contact lens exam. At this time, they will re-evaluate the fit of your contact lenses and observe if there are changes to the health of your eyes caused by your lenses. They will ensure that you will have a correct, current prescription to help avoid any serious problems, especially if you wear your lenses on an extended or overnight schedule. Once properly fit, you will be asked to return to have a follow-up visit. At this time the doctor will check your vision with the contact lenses on, evaluate the fit of the lenses and ensure that the lenses are not irritating your eyes. If there needs to be a change, it is made at this time.

At Corben Optometry the care of your eyes is our most concern when wearing contact lenses, This is why we have a policy that anytime with in the year you are having difficulties with your contact lenses or your vision, you can call the office and be seen as soon as possible to fix the issue. This is included with your initial contact lens fitting fee. If we need to change the brand or power, whatever lenses you have left , we gladly exchange for the new ones. Even if the boxes are open and they were purchased from the office. Do not allow a company to substitute a different brand or manufacturer than you currently have. While this may be acceptable in some situations, there are differences in the water content and shape between different brands. The correct choice of which lens is right for you should only be made based on examination by your doctor, not over the phone or Internet.
