Services
Comprehensive Eye Exams
Our thorough eye exams utilize advanced technology like Icare Tonometer and Optos imaging to assess vision quality and detect early signs of ocular diseases. These evaluations include testing for refractive errors, measuring intraocular pressure, and examining retinal health. Regular comprehensive exams help maintain optimal eye health while identifying potential systemic health issues through ocular indicators.
Dry Eye Treatment
We offer customized dry eye solutions addressing symptoms like irritation and burning through advanced therapies including artificial tears, prescription medications, and punctal plugs. Our approach identifies underlying causes such as environmental factors or meibomian gland dysfunction to provide lasting relief. Treatment plans often incorporate lifestyle modifications and specialized contact lenses for severe cases.
Hard-to-Fit Contact Lenses
Our experts fit specialized contact lenses for complex vision needs including keratoconus, astigmatism, and post-surgical correction. We offer rigid gas permeable lenses, scleral lenses, and hybrid options that provide superior vision correction where standard lenses fail. The practice maintains on-site polishing capabilities for customized lens adjustments without requiring multiple visits.
Pediatric Eye Care
We provide comprehensive eye exams for children starting at age 6 months, focusing on early detection of developmental vision problems. Our child-friendly approach includes screening for amblyopia, strabismus, and focusing difficulties using age-appropriate diagnostic techniques. The practice educates parents on recognizing vision issues that may affect academic performance and social development.
Ocular Disease Management
Our doctors specialize in diagnosing and managing conditions like glaucoma, diabetic retinopathy, and macular degeneration using advanced imaging technology. Treatment plans incorporate the latest pharmaceutical options and coordinate care with medical specialists when necessary. Regular monitoring helps preserve vision through early intervention and personalized disease management strategies.
