Services
Comprehensive Eye Exams
Our thorough eye exams assess visual acuity, screen for common eye diseases, and evaluate eye coordination. Using advanced diagnostic technology, we detect vision problems and systemic health issues like diabetes. The exam includes retinal imaging, glaucoma testing, and personalized recommendations for vision correction.
Dry Eye Treatment
We offer specialized treatment for chronic dry eye symptoms including redness, burning, and excessive tearing. Our approach combines meibomian gland imaging, osmolarity testing, and treatments like IPL therapy. Personalized care plans address underlying causes such as environmental factors or medical conditions.
Pediatric Eye Care
Our pediatric eye exams monitor vision development from infancy through adolescence. We detect common conditions like strabismus and amblyopia while assessing visual skills essential for learning. The service includes age-appropriate testing and guidance for parents on developmental milestones related to vision.
Contact Lens Fittings
We provide comprehensive contact lens evaluations for various lens types including disposable, extended wear, and specialty lenses. Our fittings consider lifestyle needs and vision correction requirements. The service includes proper lens selection, insertion/removal training, and ongoing care instructions.
Emergency Eye Care
Available for urgent eye conditions requiring immediate attention, including chemical exposure, foreign objects, and sudden vision changes. Our emergency service provides rapid assessment and treatment for eye injuries while offering guidance for appropriate first aid measures prior to arrival.
