Services
Comprehensive Eye Exams
Our thorough eye examinations assess visual acuity, eye health, and systemic health indicators. Using advanced diagnostic tools, we detect early signs of conditions like glaucoma and macular degeneration while updating prescriptions for glasses or contacts. Regular exams help maintain optimal vision and overall health.
Contact Lens Fittings
We specialize in custom contact lens fittings for standard and hard-to-fit prescriptions. Our optometrists evaluate corneal shape and lifestyle needs to recommend comfortable, vision-enhancing lens options including daily disposables and specialty designs for keratoconus patients.
Glaucoma Management
Early detection and ongoing management of glaucoma prevents vision loss through regular intraocular pressure testing and optic nerve evaluations. We employ modern treatment approaches including medicated drops and laser therapy to control disease progression and preserve sight.
Pediatric Eye Exams
Our child-friendly exams assess visual development, eye coordination, and refractive errors. We follow recommended screening guidelines starting at six months old, ensuring early intervention for conditions affecting learning and developmental milestones through specialized vision therapy options.
Dry Eye Treatment
We diagnose and treat ocular surface disease using advanced tear film analysis. Treatment plans may include prescription medications, punctal plugs, or lifestyle modifications to alleviate symptoms like irritation and fluctuating vision caused by environmental factors or systemic conditions.
