Comprehensive Eye Exams
Our advanced eye exams utilize VR technology and Optomap retinal imaging to assess both vision correction needs and overall eye health. These comprehensive evaluations detect early signs of ocular diseases while considering systemic health factors. Our optometrists analyze visual acuity, refractive errors, and binocular vision function to create personalized vision correction plans that enhance quality of life.
Dry Eye Therapy
Specialized dry eye treatments combine meibography diagnostics with innovative therapies like ZEST eyelid cleansing and IPL/LLLT treatments. Our approach addresses underlying causes through tear film analysis and meibomian gland dysfunction assessment. Patients receive customized treatment plans incorporating both in-office procedures and at-home care regimens using recommended dry eye products.
Myopia Control
Our myopia management program utilizes specialized contact lenses and corneal topography to slow progression of nearsightedness in children. The treatment combines advanced diagnostics with lifestyle modification guidance to preserve visual acuity. Regular monitoring tracks effectiveness while maintaining ocular health through personalized follow-up care.
Contact Lens Fittings
Precision contact lens fittings employ corneal topography and OCT imaging to ensure optimal comfort and vision correction. We specialize in complex cases including astigmatism and presbyopia, offering multiple lens types from daily disposables to specialty rigid gas permeable lenses. Our process includes comprehensive training on proper lens handling and care.
Pediatric Eye Care
Comprehensive pediatric eye exams monitor visual development from infancy through adolescence. Our InfantSEE program provides free exams for babies aged 6-12 months. The evaluation includes assessment of eye coordination, focusing ability, and developmental vision skills critical for learning. Early detection of amblyopia and strabismus enables timely intervention to prevent permanent vision issues.
