Comprehensive Eye Exams
Our thorough eye exams assess visual acuity and ocular health for patients aged six months and older. Using advanced diagnostics, we detect vision issues and systemic conditions like diabetes. Exams are tailored to individual lifestyle needs, with options to bill medical insurance for medically necessary visits.
Contact Lens Services
We offer fittings for soft, toric, multifocal, and specialty scleral contact lenses. Our doctors specialize in solving complex vision needs, including astigmatism and presbyopia. Patients receive training on proper lens care and troubleshooting for optimal comfort and eye health.
LASIK and Cataract Co-Management
Our practice provides pre- and post-operative care for LASIK, PRK, and cataract surgeries. We conduct candidacy evaluations, corneal mapping, and coordinate care with regional surgical specialists to ensure optimal outcomes and continuity of care.
Emergency Eye Care
We treat urgent conditions like red eyes, foreign body removal, and sudden vision changes during office hours. After-hours emergencies are handled via on-call availability. Immediate care helps prevent complications from injuries or acute ocular issues.
Children's Eye Exams
We examine children starting at six months old, following AOA guidelines for developmental vision screening. Early detection of refractive errors or amblyopia prevents learning challenges. Exams include parental guidance on maintaining children's visual health.

Questions
Can I use medical insurance for eye exams?
Yes, we can bill medical insurance for exams related to diagnosed conditions like cataracts or dry eye. Medicare patients qualify for annual eye exams under their coverage.
When should children have first eye exams?
The AOA recommends exams at 6 months, 3 years, and before kindergarten. Early detection of vision issues prevents developmental and academic challenges from undiagnosed eye conditions.
Do you treat eye emergencies?
Yes, we handle red eyes, foreign body removal, and sudden vision changes during office hours. Our doctors are available after hours for urgent care needs.
How is glaucoma detected?
We check intraocular pressure, optic nerve health, corneal thickness, and visual fields during comprehensive exams. Patients with family history require annual screenings to catch early signs.
