Services
Comprehensive Eye Exam
Our thorough eye exams use advanced technology like Optos scanning and OCT to assess eye health and vision quality. We evaluate refractive errors, binocular vision, and glaucoma risk while providing personalized recommendations for corrective lenses or treatment plans.
Dry Eye Treatment
We offer specialized dry eye evaluations using Meibomian gland imaging and tear film analysis. Our Equinox LLLT technology delivers non-invasive treatment to improve oil production and reduce symptoms like burning and blurred vision through targeted light therapy sessions.
Contact Lens Fitting
Our optometrists fit all contact lens types including toric, multifocal, and scleral lenses. We provide diagnostic fittings and follow-up care to ensure optimal comfort and vision correction for patients with astigmatism, presbyopia, or dry eye conditions.
Sports Vision
Custom sports vision programs improve visual performance for athletes through specialized eyewear and training. We recommend protective eyewear, enhance depth perception, and optimize visual reaction times using advanced tint technology and prescription sports goggles.
Eye Disease Management
Our doctors diagnose and manage ocular diseases like glaucoma, macular degeneration, and diabetic retinopathy. We employ advanced imaging technology for early detection and coordinate care with specialists when surgical intervention becomes necessary for optimal patient outcomes.
