Services
Comprehensive Eye Exams
Our thorough eye exams use advanced technology to assess vision quality, detect eye diseases, and evaluate overall eye health. We examine visual acuity, depth perception, and color vision while screening for conditions like glaucoma and macular degeneration. The process includes pupil dilation and digital imaging to create detailed eye health records for patients of all ages.
Diabetic Eye Exams
Specialized eye exams for diabetic patients monitor retinal blood vessel health and detect early signs of diabetic retinopathy. We use optical coherence tomography and visual field testing to identify microvascular changes before symptoms appear. Annual comprehensive evaluations help prevent vision loss through early intervention and coordinated care with primary physicians.
Pediatric Eye Exams
We provide age-appropriate eye exams starting at 6 months through adolescence. Our InfantSEE program offers free initial screenings, followed by developmental vision assessments at key growth stages. Specialized testing identifies amblyopia, strabismus, and focusing issues that could impact learning and development when left untreated.
Emergency Eye Care
Our team treats ocular emergencies including corneal abrasions, foreign body removal, and acute glaucoma attacks. We offer same-day appointments for sudden vision changes, eye pain, and trauma-related injuries. Advanced diagnostic equipment enables rapid assessment and treatment to preserve vision during critical situations.
Dry Eye Treatment
We diagnose and treat chronic dry eye using LipiFlow thermal pulsation therapy and meibomian gland expression. Our approach combines advanced diagnostics with personalized treatment plans that may include prescription medications, nutritional supplements, and environmental modifications to improve tear production and quality.
