Comprehensive Eye Exams
Our comprehensive eye exams evaluate vision acuity, eye health, and systemic health indicators. Using advanced diagnostics like retinal imaging and optical coherence tomography, we detect early signs of diseases such as glaucoma, macular degeneration, and diabetic retinopathy. The exams include visual field testing, tonometry, and slit-lamp evaluations to ensure thorough assessment. Patients receive personalized recommendations for corrective lenses or treatment plans based on their unique needs.
Dry Eye Therapy
We offer specialized dry eye therapy using advanced techniques like IPL (Intense Pulsed Light) therapy and TearCare. Our treatments target meibomian gland dysfunction and inflammation to restore natural tear production. Diagnostic tools such as the Schirmer test and fluorescein staining help identify the root cause. Customized plans may include prescription medications, punctal plugs, or lifestyle adjustments to provide long-term relief from symptoms like burning and blurred vision.
Vision Therapy
Vision therapy addresses binocular vision disorders, amblyopia, and learning-related visual issues through customized exercises. Our program includes in-office sessions and home-based activities to improve eye coordination, focusing, and visual processing. It benefits children with reading difficulties and adults recovering from concussions. The therapy is supervised by certified optometrists using evidence-based techniques to enhance functional vision beyond standard 20/20 acuity.
Contact Lens Fittings
Our contact lens fittings ensure optimal comfort and vision correction through precise corneal measurements and trial lenses. We specialize in complex cases, including astigmatism, presbyopia, and myopia control. The process includes fluorescein staining to assess corneal health and trial lenses for real-world testing. Patients receive training on insertion, removal, and hygiene, with follow-up exams to guarantee long-term eye health and lens suitability.
Children's Eye Exams
Children's eye exams focus on developmental milestones and early detection of vision problems affecting learning. We use age-appropriate tests to assess eye alignment, depth perception, and visual acuity. The exam includes screening for amblyopia, strabismus, and refractive errors. Our kid-friendly environment and gentle approach ensure a comfortable experience, with recommendations for glasses or vision therapy tailored to each child's growth and academic needs.

Questions
How often should adults get eye exams?
Healthy adults aged 19-64 should get exams every 2 years. Those over 65 or with risk factors like diabetes should have annual exams to monitor age-related conditions.
What causes dry eye symptoms?
Dry eyes result from environmental factors, medications, age-related tear reduction, eyelid disorders, or systemic diseases like diabetes. Hormonal changes and prolonged screen use also contribute to symptoms.
What's included in a children's eye exam?
Children's exams assess visual acuity, eye alignment, depth perception, and developmental milestones. We screen for amblyopia, strabismus, and refractive errors using non-invasive tests tailored to different age groups.
How does IPL therapy treat dry eye?
IPL therapy uses light energy to reduce eyelid inflammation and unblock meibomian glands. This restores natural oil production, improving tear quality and providing long-term relief from dry eye symptoms.
Can vision therapy help learning difficulties?
Yes, vision therapy addresses eye teaming, focusing, and tracking issues that affect reading and learning. It benefits children with undiagnosed visual processing problems impacting academic performance.
