The Eye Center is a multi-specialty ophthalmology practice in Northern Virginia. It runs five offices across Sterling, Leesburg, Fairfax, Alexandria, and Manassas. The clinic treats both adults and children. Dr. Ayman Boutros founded the practice in 1989. The team has 88 doctors providing full vision care. Services cover LASIK, cataract surgery, retina care, and oculoplastics. Pediatric ophthalmologists treat conditions like amblyopia and strabismus.
Dr. Boutros has personally performed over 40,000 vision-correction procedures. The clinic reports an enhancement rate under 1.5% for these cases. Most patients reach 20/30 vision or better after refractive surgery. Cataract procedures take place in an accredited in-office surgery suite. This suite has completed over 1,000 operations. Doctors use advanced iDesign 2.0 and VISX laser technologies. The team includes fellowship-trained subspecialists from Harvard and the NIH.
