Comprehensive Eye Exams
Our thorough eye exams assess visual acuity, eye health, and systemic conditions affecting vision. Using advanced tools like OCT imaging, we detect early signs of glaucoma, macular degeneration, and diabetic retinopathy. The process includes pupil dilation, visual field testing, and personalized recommendations for corrective lenses or medical treatment.
Dry Eye Treatment
We offer advanced diagnostics and treatments for chronic dry eye, including TearCare, Lipiflow, and IPL therapy. Our approach combines lifestyle adjustments with medical interventions to restore ocular surface health and improve patient comfort and vision quality.
Myopia Management
Our evidence-based programs use orthokeratology, atropine drops, and MiSight lenses to slow myopia progression in children. Customized plans address individual risk factors and visual demands to preserve long-term eye health.
Contact Lens Exams
Specialty contact lens fittings include scleral lenses for keratoconus and post-surgical patients. We offer comprehensive evaluations for comfort and vision optimization, including trial lenses and follow-up adjustments for optimal eye health.
Medical Eye Exams
Targeted evaluations for ocular diseases like glaucoma, diabetic retinopathy, and macular degeneration. We provide co-management for surgical interventions and coordinate care with ophthalmologists to ensure comprehensive treatment for complex eye conditions.
