Services
Eye Examinations
Our comprehensive eye exams include visual acuity testing, glaucoma screening, and retinal imaging to ensure optimal eye health. We determine precise spectacle and contact lens prescriptions while monitoring for age-related conditions like macular degeneration. Using the latest diagnostic technology, our doctors assess both vision quality and overall ocular wellness during annual evaluations.
Contact Lens Fittings
We specialize in fitting specialty contact lenses including bifocals, toric lenses for astigmatism, and daily disposables. Our process includes corneal topography measurements and trial lens assessments to ensure proper oxygen flow and comfort. Patients receive detailed instruction on lens handling and care during their fitting appointments.
LASIK Co-Management
Our practice provides pre-operative evaluations and post-operative care for LASIK procedures performed by leading regional surgeons. We conduct detailed corneal mapping and prescription stability assessments to determine candidacy. Follow-up visits at 1 day, 1 week, and 6 months ensure proper healing and visual acuity outcomes.
Dry Eye Treatment
We diagnose and manage chronic dry eye syndrome through advanced tear film analysis and ocular surface evaluation. Treatment options include prescription anti-inflammatory drops, punctal plugs, and customized artificial tear regimens. Our doctors also recommend environmental modifications to reduce digital eye strain and improve tear production.
Computer Vision Syndrome Solutions
Our specialists address symptoms of computer vision syndrome through ergonomic assessments and prescription computer glasses. We evaluate focusing demands at screen distance and prescribe specialized lenses to reduce eye strain. Treatment plans often include vision therapy exercises and blue light filtering lens coatings for digital device users.
