Services
Comprehensive Eye Exams
Our comprehensive eye exams assess both vision quality and overall eye health using advanced diagnostic technology. We detect early signs of eye diseases like glaucoma and diabetic retinopathy while determining precise corrective lens prescriptions. Our optometrists tailor each exam to individual patient needs, including specialized assessments for children, adults, and diabetic patients.
Keratoconus Treatment
We specialize in managing keratoconus through customized treatment plans that may include specialty contact lenses and corneal cross-linking. Our team provides ongoing monitoring and advanced solutions for patients experiencing corneal thinning and irregular shape changes. Treatment focuses on maintaining visual clarity and slowing disease progression through both traditional and innovative approaches.
Myopia Control
Our myopia control program addresses progressive nearsightedness in children through evidence-based interventions. We offer orthokeratology lenses, multifocal contact lenses, and atropine therapy to slow myopia progression. The program includes regular monitoring and personalized adjustments to help prevent high myopia-related complications like retinal detachment and macular degeneration.
Specialty Contact Lens
We provide specialty contact lens fittings for patients with complex vision needs including astigmatism, keratoconus, and dry eye syndrome. Our optometrists utilize advanced diagnostic tools to ensure optimal lens fit and comfort. The service includes comprehensive training on lens handling and ongoing support for maintaining healthy contact lens wear.
Neurolens
Neurolens technology addresses eye misalignment issues causing headaches and digital eye strain through contoured prism lenses. Our assessment identifies binocular vision dysfunction and creates customized lens solutions. This treatment improves visual comfort for patients experiencing symptoms from prolonged digital device use and other visually demanding tasks.
