Services
Dry Eye Treatment
Our dry eye specialists use advanced diagnostics to identify root causes like Meibomian gland dysfunction. Customized plans may include Zest Ocular Treatment, IPL Therapy, or LLLT to improve tear quality. These non-invasive procedures stimulate natural lubrication and reduce inflammation, offering lasting relief for patients with chronic dry eye symptoms caused by digital strain or aging.
Neurolens
Neurolens technology addresses binocular vision dysfunction through contoured prism lenses that correct misalignment. These prescription lenses reduce symptoms like headaches and eye strain caused by digital device overuse. By realigning visual axes, patients experience immediate comfort improvement during computer work or reading, with lasting benefits through personalized optical adjustments.
Ortho-K
Orthokeratology uses specially designed contact lenses worn overnight to gently reshape the cornea. This non-surgical approach corrects myopia progression in children and provides daytime vision clarity without lenses. Our program includes nightly wear lenses and regular monitoring to ensure safe, effective vision improvement for eligible patients.
Hard to Fit Contacts
We provide customized contact solutions for challenging prescriptions, including keratoconus, astigmatism, and presbyopia. Scleral lenses and gas permeable options offer stable vision for irregular corneas, while toric lenses address astigmatism. Our fitting process uses corneal topography to ensure optimal comfort and vision correction for complex visual needs.
Binocular Vision Assessment
This specialized evaluation detects subtle eye coordination issues causing headaches, dizziness, and reading difficulties. Using computerized diagnostic tools, we identify micro misalignments contributing to binocular vision dysfunction. Treatment options include custom prism lenses or vision therapy to improve eye teamwork and reduce associated symptoms during daily tasks.
