Services
Complete Eye Exams
Our comprehensive eye exams analyze vision acuity, eye health, and potential ocular diseases. Using advanced diagnostic tools, we assess refractive errors, glaucoma risk, and retinal health. The 45-60 minute exam includes visual field testing, corneal mapping, and digital retinal imaging to ensure accurate diagnoses and treatment plans.
Contact Lens Fittings
We specialize in precision contact lens fittings for standard and complex prescriptions. Our optometrist evaluates corneal shape, tear film quality, and lifestyle needs to recommend optimal lens materials and designs. Services include trial fittings, follow-up assessments, and specialty lenses for keratoconus and astigmatism correction.
LASIK Consultations
Our LASIK co-management program provides pre-operative screenings and post-operative care. We use wavefront technology and corneal topography to determine surgical candidacy. Patients receive personalized guidance about procedure risks, recovery timelines, and alternative vision correction options during comprehensive consultation sessions.
Vision Therapy
This customized program improves visual-motor skills through targeted exercises. We treat amblyopia, strabismus, and convergence insufficiency using evidence-based techniques. Sessions focus on enhancing eye coordination, focusing ability, and visual processing speed through in-office and at-home therapeutic activities.
Glaucoma Testing
Early detection of glaucoma involves measuring intraocular pressure, optic nerve evaluation, and visual field testing. We use non-contact tonometry and optical coherence tomography to identify structural changes. Treatment plans may include medicated eye drops, laser therapy, or specialist referrals for advanced cases.
