Services
Eye Exams
Our comprehensive eye exams assess overall eye health and detect conditions like glaucoma, cataracts, and macular degeneration. Using advanced diagnostic technology, we evaluate vision acuity, eye coordination, and focusing ability. These exams are essential for maintaining optimal vision and preventing long-term complications, especially for patients with diabetes or hypertension.
Contact Lens Exams
Specialized evaluations determine the ideal contact lens type and fit for your eyes. We conduct corneal mapping, tear film assessments, and discuss lifestyle needs to ensure comfort and clarity. Our optometrists provide trial lenses and follow-up appointments to guarantee proper adaptation and vision correction.
Vision Therapy
This customized program addresses conditions like amblyopia, strabismus, and visual processing disorders. Through targeted exercises and tools, we improve eye coordination, focusing, and visual perception. Therapy sessions are particularly beneficial for children with learning-related vision issues and adults recovering from concussions.
Low Vision Services
We assist patients with irreversible vision loss through specialized optical devices and adaptive strategies. Our approach focuses on maximizing remaining vision for daily activities, offering tools like magnifiers, telescopic lenses, and lighting solutions tailored to individual needs.
Dry Eye Treatment
Advanced diagnostics identify the root causes of dry eye, including meibomian gland dysfunction. Treatment options range from prescription drops and punctal plugs to in-office procedures like LipiFlow. We create personalized plans to restore ocular surface health and alleviate discomfort.
