Services
Comprehensive Eye Exams
Our thorough eye examinations assess visual acuity and detect ocular diseases for patients aged three and older. Using advanced diagnostic technology, we evaluate eye health through dilation when necessary, identifying conditions like glaucoma and macular degeneration. These exams also screen for systemic health issues that manifest in ocular symptoms.
Contact Lens Fitting
We specialize in fitting standard and custom contact lenses including extended wear, bifocal, and astigmatism-correcting options. Our rigid gas permeable lens fittings address unique corneal shapes while ensuring comfort and visual clarity. Each fitting includes detailed instruction on proper lens care and handling techniques.
Emergency Eye Care
Our practice handles urgent ocular conditions like corneal abrasions, foreign body removal, and acute infections. We provide immediate evaluation and treatment for red eye conditions and traumatic eye injuries. Patients receive prompt care during office hours with guidance for after-hours emergencies requiring ER visits.
Pediatric Eye Exams
Specialized examinations for children ensure proper visual development and school readiness. We conduct kindergarten/preschool vision screenings and monitor for common childhood vision problems. Our approach makes eye exams comfortable for young patients while addressing parental concerns about visual development.
Diabetic Eye Exams
We perform detailed retinal evaluations to detect diabetes-related changes in eye health. These specialized exams monitor for diabetic retinopathy and other vascular complications. Patients receive education about maintaining ocular health through blood sugar control and regular monitoring.
