Services
Comprehensive Eye Exams
Our comprehensive eye exams evaluate visual acuity, eye health, and detect potential vision problems. We use advanced diagnostic technology to assess conditions like cataracts, glaucoma, and diabetic eye disease. The exams include personalized recommendations for corrective lenses or treatment plans tailored to each patient's specific needs.
Pediatric Vision Care
Specialized vision assessments for children aged 3 and older focus on detecting developmental issues and ensuring proper visual development. Our services include amblyopia treatment, binocular vision evaluations, and myopia management using FDA-approved solutions like Misight contact lenses to slow progression in young patients.
Contact Lens Fitting
We offer customized contact lens fittings including specialty lenses for keratoconus and other corneal irregularities. Our services include scleral lens fittings, rigid gas permeable (RGP) lenses, and corneal refractive therapy (CRT) for overnight vision correction. Patients receive comprehensive training on proper lens care and handling.
Myopia Control
Our myopia management program addresses progressive nearsightedness in children using evidence-based treatments. We provide FDA-approved Misight 1-Day contact lenses and Corneal Refractive Therapy to slow myopia progression. The program includes regular monitoring and customized treatment plans to reduce long-term risks of high myopia complications.
