Services
Comprehensive Eye Exams
Our thorough eye examinations assess both visual acuity and ocular health using advanced diagnostic equipment. We evaluate prescription needs, screen for eye diseases, and provide personalized recommendations. The process includes digital retinal imaging to detect potential issues without requiring pupil dilation.
Contact Lens Fittings
We specialize in fitting various contact lens types including daily disposables, hybrid lenses, and scleral lenses for complex cases. Our optometrists conduct detailed corneal assessments to ensure optimal comfort and vision correction. We also provide ongoing lens evaluations and adjustments as needed.
Designer Eyewear
Our optical boutique features premium frames from renowned brands like Tom Ford, Gucci, and Silhouette. Our opticians help patients select frames that complement facial features while meeting vision requirements. We offer specialized lens customization for optimal clarity and comfort.
Retinal Imaging
We utilize Optomap wide-field retinal imaging to capture detailed images of the eye's posterior structures. This non-invasive technology enables early detection of retinal abnormalities without requiring dilation drops. The imaging helps monitor eye health and identify potential systemic conditions.
Pediatric Eye Care
Our practice provides comprehensive vision assessments for children with specialized examination techniques. We screen for developmental vision issues, prescribe corrective lenses, and offer vision therapy options. Our team creates a comfortable environment to ensure accurate evaluations for young patients.
