Services
Comprehensive Eye Exams
Our comprehensive eye exams assess visual acuity, eye health, and detect systemic conditions. Using advanced diagnostic tools, we test for common eye diseases, measure refractive error, and evaluate binocular vision function. These exams are essential for maintaining optimal eye health and detecting early signs of conditions like diabetes and hypertension.
Contact Lenses
We offer customized contact lens fittings for various vision needs. Our selection includes soft, rigid gas permeable, disposable, and specialty lenses for conditions like keratoconus. Our optometrists ensure proper fit and comfort while providing ongoing lens care education and follow-up assessments to maintain eye health.
Eye Disease Treatment
Our practice specializes in managing common eye diseases including glaucoma, macular degeneration, and diabetic retinopathy. We provide ongoing monitoring, personalized treatment plans, and co-management for surgical interventions. Our approach combines medical treatment with lifestyle recommendations to preserve vision and slow disease progression.
Orthokeratology
Orthokeratology uses specially designed contact lenses to temporarily reshape the cornea during sleep. This non-surgical treatment effectively corrects myopia and slows its progression in children. Our doctors provide precise lens fitting, regular progress monitoring, and comprehensive patient education for safe and effective vision correction.
Designer Frames
Our optical department features premium designer frames and precision lenses from leading brands. Our experienced opticians assist with frame selection based on facial features, lifestyle needs, and insurance coverage. We offer various lens options including transition lenses, anti-glare coatings, and high-index materials for optimal visual clarity and comfort.
