Services
Comprehensive Eye Exam
Our thorough eye exams evaluate visual acuity, eye health, and systemic health indicators. Using advanced diagnostic tools, we detect early signs of glaucoma, cataracts, and retinal diseases while assessing prescription needs. The exam includes intraocular pressure testing, retinal imaging, and binocular vision analysis. Patients receive detailed explanations of their eye health status and personalized recommendations for vision correction or medical treatment.
Dry Eye Treatment
We offer customized dry eye management combining advanced diagnostics with targeted therapies. Treatment options include LipiFlow thermal pulsation for meibomian gland dysfunction, prescription anti-inflammatory drops, and specialty contact lenses. Our approach addresses underlying causes while providing immediate symptom relief through artificial tears and lifestyle modifications.
Ocular Emergency Care
Uptown Vision provides urgent care for eye injuries, infections, and sudden vision changes. Our team manages corneal abrasions, chemical burns, and acute glaucoma attacks with immediate diagnostic evaluation and appropriate interventions. We prioritize same-day appointments for traumatic injuries and refer complex cases to ophthalmologists when necessary.
Glaucoma Testing
Our glaucoma screening includes tonometry, visual field testing, and optic nerve imaging. We monitor at-risk patients through regular follow-ups and implement treatment plans involving medicated drops or laser therapy. The practice maintains equipment for advanced diagnostics like optical coherence tomography to track disease progression accurately.
Specialty Contact Lenses
We specialize in fitting challenging prescriptions including keratoconus and post-surgical patients. Our options include scleral lenses, hybrid lenses, and multifocal contacts. The process involves corneal topography mapping and trial lens evaluations to ensure optimal comfort and visual acuity for patients with complex vision needs.
