Comprehensive Eye Exams
Our comprehensive eye exams go beyond simple vision testing to assess overall eye health and detect systemic conditions. Using advanced diagnostic technology, we evaluate prescription needs, retinal health, and eye pressure while checking for signs of diabetes, hypertension, and other systemic diseases. Our exams include digital retinal imaging and corneal mapping to provide detailed assessments without routine dilation.
Dry Eye Treatment
We specialize in diagnosing and treating Meibomian Gland Dysfunction (MGD) and chronic dry eye through personalized treatment plans. Our approach combines manual gland expression, advanced diagnostics, and customized therapies to address the root causes of dry eye syndrome. We offer long-term solutions that improve tear quality and ocular surface health for lasting relief.
Myopia Management
Our evidence-based myopia management program slows childhood nearsightedness progression using specialized contact lenses and treatment protocols. We employ MiSight lenses, orthokeratology, and multifocal contacts to reduce eye elongation risks. This proactive approach helps prevent future complications like retinal detachment and macular degeneration while improving current visual function.
Scleral Lenses
Custom scleral lenses provide superior vision correction for irregular corneas and severe dry eye conditions. These large-diameter gas permeable lenses vault over the cornea without direct contact, creating a hydrating reservoir that protects compromised ocular surfaces while delivering sharp visual acuity for patients with keratoconus and other complex corneal conditions.
Eye Disease Management
We diagnose and manage ocular diseases including glaucoma, cataracts, macular degeneration, and diabetic retinopathy using advanced diagnostic tools and treatment protocols. Our comprehensive approach combines regular monitoring, lifestyle recommendations, and medical interventions to preserve vision and slow disease progression while coordinating care with relevant specialists when needed.
