Services
Comprehensive Eye Exams
Our thorough eye examinations assess visual acuity, ocular health, and systemic health indicators. Using advanced diagnostic equipment, we evaluate refractive errors, screen for glaucoma and cataracts, and detect early signs of diabetes or hypertension. The exam includes detailed analysis of eye coordination, focusing ability, and peripheral vision. Doctors spend dedicated time explaining results and developing personalized treatment plans while maintaining strict adherence to clinical standards.
Dry Eye Treatment
We offer multi-modal dry eye management combining advanced diagnostics with customized treatment protocols. Services include meibomian gland expression, punctal plug insertion, and prescription therapies like Restasis. Our practice utilizes LipiFlow technology for evaporative dry eye and provides specialty contact lenses for severe cases. Treatment plans incorporate lifestyle modifications, nutritional counseling, and in-office procedures to improve tear production and ocular surface health.
Myopia Management
Our evidence-based myopia control program targets children and adolescents experiencing progressive nearsightedness. We employ orthokeratology, soft multifocal contact lenses, and low-dose atropine therapy to slow axial elongation. Regular monitoring tracks progression while customized treatment plans consider family history and lifestyle factors. The program includes patient education on environmental modifications to complement clinical interventions and reduce long-term ocular disease risks.
Specialty Contact Lenses
We specialize in complex contact lens fittings for irregular corneas and challenging prescriptions. Services include scleral lens design for keratoconus, hybrid lens fittings, and gas permeable lens customization. Our process involves corneal topography mapping and trial lens assessments to ensure optimal fit and comfort. We provide ongoing support for patients with post-surgical vision correction needs or chronic dry eye requiring specialized lens materials and designs.
Handcrafted Eyewear
Our optical boutique curates premium eyewear from international artisans and luxury brands. We offer personalized styling consultations to match frames with facial geometry and lifestyle needs. The collection features titanium, acetate, and rimless designs with precision engineering for durability and comfort. Our opticians provide expert adjustments and lens customization using anti-reflective and blue light filtering technologies to enhance visual performance and eye protection.
