Services
Comprehensive Eye Exams
Our thorough eye exams evaluate refractive errors, ocular health, and binocular function using advanced diagnostic tools. We assess conditions like glaucoma, macular degeneration, and cataracts while tailoring recommendations to lifestyle needs. Patients receive personalized guidance on maintaining optimal vision and eye health.
Dry Eye Management
We specialize in treating dry eyes through TempSure Envi Radiofrequency therapy, which improves tear quality by unclogging glands and stimulating collagen production. This non-invasive approach addresses underlying causes rather than temporary symptom relief, offering long-term comfort and ocular health benefits.
Contact Lens Fittings
Our practice fits standard and specialty contact lenses, including options for keratoconus and irregular corneas. We utilize scleral, hybrid, and gas-permeable lenses to ensure comfort and visual clarity. Patients receive detailed instructions for proper lens care and maintenance.
LASIK Co-Management
We provide pre-operative consultations and post-operative care for LASIK patients, ensuring safe and effective outcomes. Our team monitors healing progress and addresses any complications, working closely with surgical partners to optimize vision correction results.
Optical Dispensing
Our optical boutique offers premium eyeglass frames and lenses from brands like Ray-Ban, Oakley, and Tom Ford. We assist patients in selecting durable, stylish eyewear matched to their prescription needs and lifestyle preferences, with expert fitting adjustments.
