Services
Eye Exams
Our comprehensive eye exams utilize advanced technology like Optos retinal imaging to detect vision issues and eye diseases early. We assess visual acuity, eye function, and internal health to provide precise prescriptions and monitor conditions like glaucoma. Annual exams ensure lifelong vision clarity and proactive health management.
Contact Lens Fitting
We offer customized contact lens evaluations, including specialty lenses for astigmatism or presbyopia. Our optometrists ensure proper fit and comfort while educating patients on safe wear and care practices. Trial lenses help determine optimal vision correction tailored to lifestyle needs.
LASIK Co-Management
Our team provides pre- and post-operative LASIK care, including candidacy assessments and recovery monitoring. We use precise corneal mapping to ensure surgical success and offer alternative solutions like PRK for patients with thin corneas or other contraindications.
Cataract Surgery
We manage cataract treatment from diagnosis through surgical co-care, coordinating with specialists for lens replacement procedures. Post-operative exams ensure proper healing, while corrective lens prescriptions optimize vision after surgery for improved quality of life.
Glaucoma Testing
Our diagnostic evaluations include tonometry and optic nerve imaging to detect glaucoma in early stages. We monitor progression through regular testing and prescribe medicated drops or refer for advanced treatments to prevent vision loss from this chronic condition.
