Services
Comprehensive Eye Exams
Our thorough eye exams go beyond vision correction to assess overall eye health. Using advanced diagnostic technology, we detect early signs of ocular diseases like glaucoma and macular degeneration while evaluating systemic health indicators. The exam includes digital retinal imaging and MiBo Thermoflo screening for dry eye, ensuring comprehensive assessment of both vision and ocular health for patients aged 6 months and older.
Dry Eye Treatment
We specialize in diagnosing and treating dry eye syndrome using advanced techniques. Our FDA-approved MiBo Thermoflo treatment addresses meibomian gland dysfunction through controlled heat therapy, while customized plans may include punctal plugs, prescription eye drops, and at-home care regimens. Our specialists identify root causes through thermal imaging and specialized diagnostics to provide lasting relief from symptoms like irritation and blurred vision.
100% Bladeless LASIK
Our all-laser LASIK procedure offers precise vision correction for nearsightedness, farsightedness, and astigmatism. Using IntraLase technology, we create a corneal flap without blades, followed by customized wavefront-guided treatment. The free screening includes corneal mapping and thickness measurements to determine candidacy, with personalized consultations about lifestyle benefits and post-operative care requirements for optimal visual outcomes.
Pediatric Eye Exams
Our pediatric specialists conduct comprehensive eye exams tailored to children's developmental needs. Using age-appropriate techniques, we assess visual acuity, eye coordination, and developmental milestones. The exam includes screening for amblyopia, strabismus, and learning-related vision problems, with follow-up care plans for any identified vision issues affecting academic or athletic performance.
Designer Eyewear Selection
We offer a curated collection of high-quality eyewear from independent global designers. Our opticians provide personalized frame fittings, considering facial geometry, lifestyle needs, and prescription requirements. The selection features unique styles with superior craftsmanship, including lightweight materials and advanced lens technologies for optimal vision correction and UV protection.
