I love this place. I've been going to Hines Sight since I had my Lasix surgery 19 years ago. I saw Stanley Cushing and I was pleased with him. He made me feel comfortable and he explained everything I asked for and needed to know and he had a sense of humor too. He's a nice and kind and friendly I would recommend him and say your in good hands ..

Eye Surgery
Because we have our own on-site surgical facility, we can perform certain surgical procedures in our office. This allows you to undergo surgical eye care from our ophthalmologist at the same office where you receive your routine eye care. Having our own surgical facility also allows us to provide the safest care possible. We use the latest technology for our surgical procedures and keep up with rigorous health and safety standards to ensure that your well-being always comes first. Our ophthalmologist can perform:
Cataract Surgery
If your vision is blurry or dull because of cataracts, our Denver, Colorado, team can perform cataract surgery. By removing cataracts and replacing your damaged lens with an intraocular lens (IOL), Dr. Coco can help you achieve clear vision once again. The surgery is virtually painless, and most candidates experience a fairly quick recovery.

LASIK Surgery
As one of the first ophthalmology practices in all of Colorado to offer LASIK eye surgery, we are a popular destination for men and women who want freedom from their contact lenses or eyeglasses. To help you achieve the very best treatment outcomes, our ophthalmologist also performs Custom Wavefront LASIK.

Intraocular Lenses
If your cataracts have progressed to the point where glasses or contact lenses no longer provide proper vision correction, intraocular lenses (IOLs) can help. Our Denver ophthalmologist can replace clouded lenses with an IOL that suits your individual needs.
Visian ICL
Visian ICL is a removable lens implant that can correct nearsightedness. An alternative to LASIK and PRK, Visian ICL is reversible, offers UV protection, and does not induce dry eye syndrome. Our ophthalmologist in Denver, Colorado, can review your candidacy for Visian ICL during your next visit.
Do You Have Diabetes? Eye Exams Are Vital to Protect Your Eyesight
We urge patients with diabetes to make “an ounce of prevention” their personal mantra to protect their vision.
Patients with diabetes are at greater risk for a variety of eye problems that, if left untreated, can impair vision, perhaps to the point of blindness. But preventative care, including yearly comprehensive eye exams, allows us to catch early warning signs and diagnose conditions at the earliest stage possible.
The vision issues people with diabetes face are generally categorized as diabetic eye disease. They include:
- Diabetic retinopathy
- Diabetic macular edema
- Cataracts
- Glaucoma
Eye Exams Are a Diabetic's
Best Defense
Request a Consultation
While regular eye exams are important for everyone, they are critically important for people with diabetes. Hines Sight in Denver performs comprehensive eye exams that allow us to catch warning signs and diagnose conditions at the earliest possible point.
Our doctors will pay special attention to the back of your eye, the retina, if you have diabetes. We can use optomap retinal imaging or optical coherence tomography (OCT) scans to create high-resolution images that allow us to accurately diagnose conditions that often occur in diabetic patients.
Have you noticed changes in your vision? Do you see more floaters, or has your vision become hazy or blurry? We recommend requesting an eye exam. Patients with diabetes should have their vision checked at least once a year to prevent vision loss and more often if they notice changes.

For patients without insurance or who are receiving treatment not covered by insurance, we offer financing through CareCredit®. This third-party lender offers manageable monthly payment plans, allowing patients that qualify to pay off their balance over six to 60 months.

View on GoogleWhat to Expect on Your First Visit
Contrary to common misconceptions, you don't need a referral to see an ophthalmologist. Anyone can schedule an appointment at our office. To expedite your first visit and help us get to know you better, we encourage you to fill out the necessary forms prior to your appointment. You should also bring your insurance information, current contact lenses or eyeglasses, and a list of current medications.
At the start of your appointment, you will undergo a comprehensive eye exam. This exam will last anywhere from one to two hours. After reviewing your medical history, one of our eye doctors will conduct a visual acuity test and refraction assessment. We will then screen for eye diseases such as glaucoma and corneal disease. We will also evaluate the back of each eye to rule out serious diseases like macular degeneration and diabetic retinopathy.
