Services
Dry Eye Therapy
Our advanced dry eye therapy combines Optase products and OptiLight by Lumenis technology to address chronic dry eye symptoms. This multi-modal approach targets meibomian gland dysfunction while improving tear film quality. Patients benefit from personalized treatment plans that may include in-office procedures, prescription medications, and lifestyle modifications for long-term relief.
Contact Lens Exams
Specialized contact lens exams ensure optimal vision correction and comfort. Our optometrists perform detailed corneal mapping and tear film analysis to determine ideal lens parameters. We offer fittings for standard, toric, multifocal, and specialty lenses including scleral and hybrid designs for complex prescriptions and keratoconus cases.
Diabetic Eye Exams
Comprehensive diabetic eye exams detect early signs of retinopathy and macular edema. Using retinal imaging and OCT scans, we monitor vascular changes and macular thickness. Our protocol includes annual baseline exams with more frequent monitoring for patients showing early diabetic eye disease symptoms.
Children's Eye Exams
Developmental eye exams assess visual acuity, binocular vision, and ocular health in children. We follow AOA guidelines for exams at 6-12 months, 3-5 years, and annually during school years. Our child-friendly approach evaluates visual motor skills and learning-related vision problems that could impact academic performance.
Myopia Control
Evidence-based myopia management programs slow progressive nearsightedness in children. Treatment options include orthokeratology lenses, atropine therapy, and specialized multifocal contact lenses. Regular monitoring tracks axial length changes and adjusts interventions to minimize long-term vision complications.
