Eye Examinations
Our comprehensive eye exams assess visual acuity, eye health, and potential vision problems. Using advanced diagnostic tools, we detect conditions like glaucoma, cataracts, and macular degeneration. The exam includes refraction testing to determine prescription needs for glasses or contact lenses.
Contact Lenses
We offer customized contact lens fittings for various vision needs, including astigmatism and multifocal prescriptions. Our specialists ensure proper lens selection for comfort and eye health. We provide soft, gas-permeable, and silicone hydrogel lenses with ongoing support for wearers.
Vision Correction
Our practice provides pre- and post-operative care for vision correction surgeries like LASIK and corneal reshaping. We evaluate candidacy for procedures and partner with surgeons to ensure optimal outcomes. We also offer non-surgical alternatives for vision improvement.
Eye Disease Treatment
We diagnose and manage chronic eye diseases including diabetic retinopathy, glaucoma, and age-related macular degeneration. Treatment plans incorporate medication management, lifestyle recommendations, and specialized therapies to preserve vision and slow disease progression.
