Services
Comprehensive Eye Exams
Our comprehensive eye exams assess visual acuity, screen for diseases like glaucoma and diabetes, and evaluate eye coordination. Using advanced tools like Optos imaging, we detect early signs of ocular and systemic conditions. Annual exams ensure optimal vision health for patients aged 18-60, with seniors recommended for biannual visits.
Dry Eye Treatment
We diagnose and treat chronic dry eye through meibomian gland imaging, tear osmolarity tests, and OptiLight IPL therapy. Customized plans include prescription drops, eyelid hygiene, and lifestyle adjustments. Our Dry Eye Center of Excellence provides targeted relief for symptoms like redness, irritation, and excessive tearing.
Pediatric Eye Care
Specialized pediatric exams monitor vision development from infancy through adolescence. We detect and manage conditions like strabismus, amblyopia, and refractive errors. Early intervention ensures children achieve clear vision critical for learning and developmental milestones.
Emergency Eye Exams
Urgent care for eye injuries, infections, chemical exposure, and sudden vision changes. Immediate treatment for corneal abrasions, foreign objects, and trauma minimizes long-term damage. We provide rapid assessment and stabilization for acute ocular emergencies.
Contact Lenses
Custom contact lens fittings for nearsightedness, astigmatism, and presbyopia. Options include daily disposables, extended wear, and colored lenses. Our team ensures proper fit and comfort while addressing lifestyle needs for clear, safe vision correction.
