Dry Eye Treatment
Our comprehensive dry eye treatment program addresses chronic discomfort through advanced diagnostics and personalized solutions. Using technologies like TearLab Osmolarity Testing and OptiLIGHT by Lumenis, we identify root causes and implement treatments ranging from prescription drops to intense pulsed light therapy. Our approach combines medical interventions with lifestyle modifications to provide lasting relief and protect long-term eye health.
Keratoconus Management
Specialized keratoconus management utilizes Eaglet Eye technology and scleral lenses to address progressive corneal irregularities. Through corneal topography mapping and pachymetry testing, we create customized treatment plans that may include rigid gas permeable lenses or hybrid solutions to improve visual acuity and slow disease progression while maintaining patient comfort.
Contact Lens Exams
Our contact lens exams go beyond standard vision correction assessments to ensure optimal comfort and eye health. We specialize in complex fittings for astigmatism, presbyopia, and irregular corneas using premium brands like Acuvue and CooperVision. The process includes precise corneal measurements and trial lens evaluations to guarantee proper fit and long-term wearing satisfaction.
Children's Eye Exams
Child-friendly eye exams focus on developmental vision assessment and early detection of learning-related vision problems. Our approach includes myopia management programs using ortho-k lenses and MiSight 1-day contacts, while making the experience engaging for young patients through interactive testing methods and educational activities.
