Services
Comprehensive Eye Exams
Our comprehensive eye exams evaluate all aspects of vision and eye health through advanced diagnostic testing. We assess visual acuity, peripheral vision, eye coordination, and internal eye structures while checking for common conditions like glaucoma and macular degeneration. The exam includes specialized tests for color vision, depth perception, and intraocular pressure measurement. Our optometrists also review patients' medical history and medications to identify systemic health issues that may affect eye health, ensuring early detection and treatment of potential vision problems.
Pediatric Eye Exams
We provide specialized eye exams for children from infancy through adolescence, following recommended screening guidelines. Our exams detect vision problems that could impact learning and development, including amblyopia, strabismus, and refractive errors. We use age-appropriate testing methods to assess visual acuity, eye alignment, and focusing ability while making the experience comfortable for young patients. Early detection of vision issues helps prevent permanent vision loss and supports academic success through optimal visual development.
Dry Eye Treatment
Our dry eye treatment program includes comprehensive evaluation to identify underlying causes of chronic dryness. We offer advanced therapies like LipiFlow treatment, artificial tear recommendations, and environmental modification advice. The treatment plan addresses both symptoms and root causes through specialized diagnostic testing and personalized management strategies. Our approach combines medical interventions with lifestyle adjustments to provide long-term relief from dry eye discomfort.
Myopia Management
We offer evidence-based myopia management programs to slow the progression of nearsightedness in children. Our treatment options include orthokeratology lenses, atropine therapy, and specialized contact lenses. The program involves regular monitoring of refractive changes and customized treatment plans based on individual patient needs. Our approach helps reduce the risk of high myopia complications while improving visual clarity and comfort for young patients.
Surgical Co-Management
Our surgical co-management service provides pre-operative evaluations and post-operative care for vision correction procedures. We coordinate with surgical specialists to ensure optimal patient preparation and recovery while monitoring eye health throughout the process. The service includes comprehensive assessments for LASIK and cataract surgery candidates, personalized treatment planning, and follow-up care to ensure successful surgical outcomes while maintaining long-term eye health.
