Eye Exams
Our comprehensive eye exams include patient history review, vision testing, eye focusing assessments, and eye health evaluations. We use advanced diagnostics to detect conditions like glaucoma, macular degeneration, and diabetic retinopathy. Our exams ensure accurate prescriptions for glasses or contact lenses while prioritizing patient education about eye health.
Dry Eye Management
We diagnose and treat dry eye syndrome using methods like artificial tears, eye inserts, and thermal cautery. Our optometrist performs Schirmer tests and tear-quality assessments to determine the best treatment. We address underlying causes such as aging, medications, or medical conditions to provide long-term relief and improved ocular comfort.
Glaucoma Testing
Our glaucoma testing includes intraocular pressure measurement and optic nerve evaluation to detect early signs of the disease. We use advanced imaging technology to monitor retinal health and recommend treatments like medicated eye drops or surgical referrals to prevent vision loss and manage progression.
Contact Lenses
We offer customized contact lens fittings, including rigid gas-permeable, daily-wear, and extended-wear options. Our optometrist evaluates eye health and lifestyle needs to recommend the most suitable lenses. We provide follow-up care to ensure comfort and proper fit for optimal vision correction.
Post-Operative Care
We provide pre- and post-operative care for LASIK, cataract, and other eye surgeries. Our services include pre-surgical consultations, post-operative monitoring, and management of complications. We collaborate with surgeons to ensure safe, effective outcomes and long-term eye health after procedures.
