Services
Comprehensive Eye Exams
Our thorough eye exams include digital retinal imaging and visual field testing to assess overall eye health. We detect early signs of conditions like glaucoma and macular degeneration while evaluating vision acuity. The exam process ensures accurate prescriptions for glasses or contact lenses while monitoring systemic health indicators through ocular assessment.
Contact Lens Fitting
We provide specialized contact lens fittings with evaluations for optimal comfort and vision correction. Our process includes corneal curvature measurement and trial lens assessments. We offer guidance on the latest lens materials that maximize oxygen permeability for extended wear comfort and eye health maintenance.
Glaucoma Screening
Our glaucoma screening involves intraocular pressure measurement and optic nerve evaluation. We use advanced diagnostic tools to detect early-stage glaucoma before symptoms appear. Regular screenings help monitor progression and determine appropriate treatment options to preserve vision.
Pediatric Eye Care
We offer comprehensive eye exams for children aged 6 and older. Our pediatric assessments evaluate visual development, eye coordination, and potential learning-related vision problems. Early detection of conditions like amblyopia ensures timely intervention for optimal visual development.
Retinal Imaging
Our Optomap retinal imaging system captures detailed views of the retina without dilation in most cases. This technology enables early detection of retinal abnormalities and provides permanent digital records for tracking changes over time. The non-invasive process takes less than a second per eye.
