Services
Complete Eye Exams
Our comprehensive eye exams assess vision acuity, eye health, and detect early signs of systemic conditions like diabetes. Using advanced diagnostic tools, we evaluate refractive errors, prescribe corrective lenses, and screen for glaucoma and cataracts. Tailored to each patient's needs, these exams ensure accurate diagnoses and personalized treatment plans for optimal visual health.
Contact Lens Fitting
We specialize in precise contact lens fittings for comfort and clarity, including hard-to-fit cases like astigmatism or presbyopia. Our optometrists use corneal topography to map eye curvature and recommend lenses that match your lifestyle. Follow-up evaluations ensure proper adaptation and long-term eye health, with options ranging from daily disposables to specialty rigid gas permeable lenses.
Glaucoma Testing
Early detection of glaucoma is critical to preventing vision loss. We employ tonometry to measure intraocular pressure and visual field testing to identify peripheral vision changes. Patients with risk factors receive regular monitoring, while those diagnosed with glaucoma benefit from customized management plans involving medicated drops or coordinated surgical referrals.
Diabetic Eye Care
Diabetic retinopathy screenings are essential for patients with diabetes. We conduct dilated eye exams to detect retinal damage and collaborate with primary care physicians for holistic management. Our approach includes educating patients on blood sugar control's impact on vision and scheduling regular follow-ups to prevent severe complications like macular edema or blindness.
Vision Therapy
This doctor-supervised program improves visual-motor skills through customized exercises for patients of all ages. We address conditions like amblyopia, strabismus, and convergence insufficiency using tools like prisms, balance boards, and computerized systems. Progress is tracked through periodic assessments to ensure enhanced eye-brain coordination and functional vision improvements.
