Services
Comprehensive Eye Exams
Our detailed eye exams use digital retinal imaging and OCT scans to detect vision issues and diseases like glaucoma. Patients receive personalized prescriptions for glasses or contacts while monitoring overall eye health. The process includes dilated exams and tonometry to ensure accurate diagnoses for all ages.
Dry Eye Treatment
We diagnose and treat chronic dry eye using LipiScan imaging and TearLab testing. Treatment options include artificial tears, prescription eye drops, and advanced procedures like LipiFlow to improve tear production. Lifestyle adjustments and specialized eye masks complement our medical interventions for lasting relief.
Pediatric Eye Care
Our pediatric exams assess visual development beyond basic acuity tests. We detect conditions like amblyopia and focusing issues that affect learning. Vision therapy options and child-friendly eyewear selections help address developmental needs while ensuring comfortable, age-appropriate care experiences.
Emergency Eye Care
We provide urgent care for eye injuries, infections, and sudden vision loss. Our optometrists use specialized tools to remove foreign objects and treat corneal abrasions. Same-day appointments ensure timely intervention for conditions requiring immediate attention to prevent permanent vision damage.
Diabetic Eye Disease
Regular exams monitor diabetes-related changes in retinal blood vessels. We detect early signs of diabetic retinopathy through dilated exams and fundus photography. Treatment includes laser therapy and coordination with medical specialists to manage systemic factors affecting eye health.
