Dry Eye Treatment
Our dry eye specialists diagnose and treat chronic tear film instability using advanced technologies like TearLab testing and Intense Pulsed Light therapy. We offer personalized treatment plans including prescription anti-inflammatory drops, punctal plugs, and scleral lenses. Patients receive comprehensive education on lid hygiene and environmental modifications to manage symptoms effectively.
Comprehensive Eye Exam
Our full-scope eye examinations include pupil dilation, retinal imaging, and visual field testing to assess ocular health and detect early signs of disease. We provide refraction testing for glasses prescriptions and evaluate binocular vision function. The exam process includes detailed patient education about eye health findings and preventive care strategies.
Glaucoma Procedures
We offer in-office glaucoma treatments including Selective Laser Trabeculoplasty and YAG Peripheral Iridotomy to reduce intraocular pressure. Our specialists use advanced diagnostic tools to monitor optic nerve health and implement treatment plans combining medication, laser therapy, and surgical interventions when necessary.
Contact Lens Fitting
Our optometrists specialize in fitting all contact lens types including toric lenses for astigmatism, multifocal lenses for presbyopia, and scleral lenses for irregular corneas. We provide trial fittings and follow-up evaluations to ensure optimal comfort and vision correction. The practice maintains an extensive inventory of daily, weekly, and monthly disposable lens options.
Laser Treatment Procedures
Our in-office laser treatments include YAG Laser Capsulotomy for posterior capsule opacification and Argon Laser Therapy for retinal vascular conditions. These minimally invasive procedures are performed with local anesthesia and typically require no recovery time. Our ophthalmologists use precision laser technology to address post-cataract surgery complications and retinal vascular disorders.
