Improving vision care across California’s Central Coast is the focus of ADV Visio

n – a new regional eye care venture launched today by Southern California-based Dougherty Laser Vision and San Luis Obispo eye surgeon Adam Abroms, M.D. With locations now open in Paso Robles and San Luis Obispo (and another on the way in Santa Maria), ADV Vision provides the latest, innovation-driven techniques and technology to patients seeking refractive surgery (LASIK and lens exchange), cataract surgery, glaucoma diagnosis/treatment, blepharoplasty (eyelid surgery) and general ophthalmology services. The new venture combines Dr. Abroms’ nearly 20 years in local practice with the resources and pioneering research of Dougherty Laser Vision, which has offices in Beverly Hills, Westlake Village, Camarillo and San Luis Obispo. Together, they have positioned ADV Vision to bring unsurpassed eye care and correction to consumers across the Central Coast.

“We’re excited to team up with Dr. Abroms and partner with outstanding local optometry professionals to offer the most advanced surgical eye care,” said Paul J. Dougherty, M.D., medical director of Dougherty Laser Vision. “Dr. Abroms is an extraordinarily skilled and compassionate surgeon who delivers the highest quality care – and he does so with a deep connection to the Central Coast.”

Dr. Abroms added, “After many years in independent practice, it’s a great privilege and pleasure to join Dr. Dougherty and his team to form this new partnership. ADV Vision will propel our already high standards to deliver a new level of eye care to patients throughout the Central Coast.”

ADV Vision locations include Paso Robles, San Luis Obispo and Santa Maria.

Cataract surgery isn’t what most people think anymore.

Dr. Adam Abroms explains that just a few decades ago, the procedure took much longer, often required a hospital stay for several days, and came with a long recovery period where vision stayed blurry and the eye felt uncomfortable. Today, it’s a quick outpatient procedure done at a surgery center, with most patients going home the same day and noticing clearer vision within days.

Modern cataract surgery is faster, smoother, and far more convenient than ever before.

-Is cataract surgery painful?
-How fast is recovery?
-When should I consider treatment?
-Will I need glasses after surgery?
-What lens options are available?

When was the last time you thought about how much your vision affects your daily life?

Many people adjust to gradual vision changes without realizing how much they're missing. Reading, driving, hobbies, and even everyday tasks can become more difficult when your vision isn't as sharp as it once was.

If you've noticed changes in your eyesight, a comprehensive eye exam can help determine what's causing them and what options may be available.

What if you could test-drive your vision after cataract surgery and tweak it until it’s absolutely perfect?

With the Light Adjustable Lens (LAL), you can. In this video, Dr. Adam Abroms explains the fascinating science behind this breakthrough material. Unlike traditional implants, the LAL isn't in its final state when it's placed in your eye.

Using a specialized light delivery device, we can fine-tune your focus a surprising amount to treat astigmatism, nearsightedness, and farsightedness during your post-op visits. The treatments are entirely painless, take less than a minute, and are permanently locked in once you achieve your ultimate vision goals.

Watch the full video to see how Dr. Abroms uses light technology to customize your sight.
