Services
Comprehensive Eye Exams
Our detailed eye examinations assess both ocular health and critical visual skills using digital imaging technology. These evaluations detect conditions like glaucoma, diabetes, and hypertension while measuring visual acuity and eye coordination. The exams include retinal imaging for permanent health records and are recommended annually for optimal eye health maintenance.
Specialty Contact Lenses
We specialize in fitting advanced contact lenses for complex cases including keratoconus, post-surgical corneas, and astigmatism. Our options include scleral lenses, orthokeratology lenses, and multifocal designs. Our doctors have successfully fit thousands of patients previously told contacts weren't an option through personalized fitting processes and follow-up care.
Vision Therapy
This non-surgical treatment addresses visual skill deficiencies through customized exercises. Programs target eye alignment, focusing abilities, and visual processing skills to improve reading comprehension and reduce eye strain. Sessions combine in-office therapy with home exercises under direct supervision of our certified vision therapists.
Pediatric Eye Care
Our pediatric services include infant eye exams starting at 6 months and developmental vision assessments for school-age children. We monitor visual skill development and treat conditions affecting learning performance. The practice offers free first-year exams and specializes in identifying vision problems that impact academic achievement.
Ocular Disease Management
We diagnose and manage chronic eye conditions including glaucoma, diabetic retinopathy, and macular degeneration. Our approach combines regular monitoring with treatment plans that may include medication, lifestyle modifications, or surgical co-management. Patients receive education about disease progression and prevention strategies.
