Services
Eye Exams
Our comprehensive eye exams utilize advanced optomap technology to assess retinal health and detect early signs of ocular diseases. Annual evaluations help maintain optimal vision while identifying systemic health issues like diabetes. Doctors examine visual acuity, eye coordination, and intraocular pressure to ensure complete eye health.
Dry Eye Treatments
We offer specialized dry eye therapies including IPL (Intense Pulsed Light) and LLLT (Low-Level Light Therapy) to address meibomian gland dysfunction. These treatments reduce inflammation, improve tear quality, and provide lasting relief from chronic dryness while addressing underlying skin conditions that contribute to eye discomfort.
Contact Lens Fittings
Our optometrists provide precise contact lens fittings for various vision needs, including specialty lenses for astigmatism and presbyopia. We offer trial lenses and follow-up assessments to ensure proper fit and comfort while educating patients on safe lens handling and hygiene practices.
LASIK Consultations
We conduct thorough LASIK evaluations to determine candidacy for laser vision correction. Doctors assess corneal thickness, refractive errors, and eye health while discussing procedural options and expected outcomes. Patients receive referrals to trusted surgical partners for procedure completion.
Glaucoma Treatment
Our practice provides glaucoma screening, diagnosis, and management using tonometry and visual field testing. Treatment plans may include medicated eye drops, laser therapy referrals, or ongoing monitoring to prevent optic nerve damage and vision loss from increased intraocular pressure.
