Maloney-Shamie-Hura Vision Institute

Refractive and Cataract Surgery in Los Angeles

Maloney-Shamie-Hura Vision Institute (MSH Vision) is an ophthalmology institute based in Los Angeles that focuses on vision correction through laser and surgical procedures. The clinic states that it has been serving the Los Angeles metropolitan area for 28 years and has performed more than 95,000 procedures, with over 2,400 five-star reviews.

Vision Correction Procedures

The institute offers a broad spectrum of treatments, which it organizes according to the patient's age and condition:

• LASIK and WaveLight Plus LASIK: laser microsurgery to reshape the cornea. The clinic notes that the procedure is performed entirely with surgical lasers, without a blade, stitches, or needles, with a surgical time of 3 to 5 minutes per eye. WaveLight Plus LASIK uses the SightMap diagnostic system to build a three-dimensional model of the eye and design a personalized treatment.
• PRK: a refractive procedure included in its offerings.
• EVO ICL: intraocular lens implantation to correct vision.
• Refractive Lens Exchange: replacement of the natural lens for refractive purposes.
• Monovision Correction.

Cataract Surgery and Advanced Lenses

The clinic addresses cataract surgery with various techniques and intraocular lens options: cataract removal, laser cataract surgery, light adjustable lenses, extended range of vision lenses, multifocal lenses, toric lenses, and small aperture lenses. It also treats glaucoma and performs corneal procedures, including DMEK and DSEK.

Eye Conditions Treated

The institute treats conditions such as astigmatism, presbyopia, myopia, hyperopia, glaucoma, Fuchs dystrophy, and other corneal conditions. It organizes its offerings by age groups: 18 to 45, 45 to 60, and over 65, with specific procedures for each group.

Medical Team

The clinic has two primary surgeons. Dr. Neda Shamie is a refractive, cataract, and corneal surgeon with over 20 years of experience, and is recognized for her expertise in complex vision correction surgery. Dr. Arjan Hura is a refractive, cataract, and anterior segment surgeon, fellowship-trained and award-winning in his specialty; he performs the full spectrum of vision correction procedures and is involved in clinical research and mentoring students.

The American Academy of Ophthalmology has honored Dr. Shamie with the Senior Achievement Award and Dr. Hura with the Secretariat Award for their contributions to training other surgeons. Both have been included by their peers in Castle Connolly's Top Doctors, Southern California Super Doctors, and Los Angeles Magazine LA's Top Doctors lists. The clinic also highlights that more than 500 ophthalmologists or their family members have chosen MSH Vision for their own vision correction surgery.

Clinical Approach and Patient Care

The institute emphasizes that its solutions are personalized based on the eye's measurements as well as the patient's lifestyle, hobbies, profession, and interests. By offering the full spectrum of procedures, it states that it does not force the indication to fit a patient into a single category and that it communicates when someone is not a good candidate for surgery.

The first step it describes is a consultation with a comprehensive eye exam, in which vision is evaluated and options are explained based on the degree of myopia, hyperopia, or astigmatism. The determination of LASIK candidacy is based on advanced diagnostic tests and evaluation of eye health.

Out-of-Town Patients

The clinic serves patients who travel from other locations. Its office is on Wilshire Blvd, in downtown Los Angeles, near top-tier hotels, and it offers help organizing all appointments within a short period, potentially in a single day, to accommodate tight schedules.
