Comprehensive Eye Exams
Our detailed eye exams evaluate both vision and ocular health through advanced diagnostic tests. We assess eye coordination, focusing ability, and screen for diseases like glaucoma and macular degeneration. The examination combines objective measurements with patient participation to ensure accurate diagnosis and treatment planning.
LASIK Co-Management
We provide pre- and post-operative care for LASIK patients, including candidacy evaluations and surgical referrals. Our doctors coordinate with specialized centers to ensure optimal outcomes, offering follow-up appointments for six months post-surgery and annual exams to monitor long-term results.
