Services
Eye Exams
Our comprehensive eye exams assess vision acuity, eye health, and potential ocular diseases. Using advanced diagnostic tools, we evaluate refractive errors, binocular vision, and internal eye structures through tests like tonometry and retinal imaging. Patients receive detailed explanations of results and personalized recommendations for corrective lenses or treatment plans.
Contact Lenses
We offer customized contact lens fittings for various vision needs, including astigmatism, presbyopia, and dry eye conditions. Our optometrist evaluates corneal shape and tear film quality to recommend optimal lens materials and designs, such as daily disposables, rigid gas permeable lenses, or specialty scleral lenses for complex cases.
LASIK Consultations
Our pre-operative LASIK evaluations determine candidacy for laser vision correction through corneal mapping, pupil dilation, and prescription stability assessments. We coordinate with trusted surgical centers and provide post-operative care to monitor healing and ensure optimal visual outcomes following the procedure.
Frame Selection
Our optical dispensary features frames tailored to facial geometry, lifestyle needs, and budget considerations. Staff guide patients in selecting durable, stylish eyewear while considering factors like lens compatibility, occupational demands, and UV protection requirements for both prescription and non-prescription eyewear.
Glaucoma Testing
We conduct comprehensive glaucoma screenings using non-contact tonometry and optic nerve imaging to detect early signs of increased intraocular pressure. Patients receive education on risk factors and treatment options, including medicated eye drops or referrals for advanced interventions when necessary.
