Services
Comprehensive Eye Exams
Our detailed eye examinations assess visual acuity, eye health, and systemic conditions affecting vision. Using advanced imaging technology, we detect early signs of diseases like glaucoma and macular degeneration. The exam includes digital retinal imaging and personalized recommendations for corrective lenses or medical treatment.
Diabetic Eye Exams
Specialized evaluations for diabetes patients identify retinal changes caused by diabetic retinopathy. We employ Optos ultra-widefield imaging to monitor vascular abnormalities and provide timely interventions. These exams help prevent vision loss through early detection and coordinated care with primary physicians.
Dry Eye Treatment
Customized treatment plans address dry eye symptoms using advanced diagnostic tools like tear osmolarity testing. We offer prescription therapies, punctal plugs, and lifestyle recommendations to improve ocular surface health. Our approach combines evidence-based medicine with individualized patient education for long-term relief.
Retinal Imaging
Optos Retinal Camera technology captures 200-degree retinal views without dilation in most cases. This non-invasive imaging detects peripheral retinal lesions, choroidal abnormalities, and early disease markers. Digital records enable precise monitoring of anatomical changes over time for proactive management.
Surgical Co-Management
We provide preoperative evaluations and postoperative care for cataract and refractive surgeries. Our services include patient education, surgical risk assessments, and follow-up monitoring to ensure optimal visual outcomes. We maintain communication with surgical specialists throughout the care continuum.
