Comprehensive Eye Exams
Our thorough eye exams evaluate visual acuity, eye health, and focusing ability while screening for conditions like glaucoma and macular degeneration. We use advanced diagnostic technology to detect vision changes and eye diseases in their earliest stages. Annual exams help maintain optimal vision for patients of all ages.
Contact Lens Fittings
We offer customized contact lens solutions including soft, rigid gas-permeable, and specialty lenses for astigmatism and dry eyes. Our optometrists ensure proper fit and comfort through detailed corneal mapping and follow-up evaluations. We also provide guidance on lens care and replacement schedules.
LASIK Surgery
Our practice provides pre-operative evaluations and post-operative care for LASIK surgery. We assess candidacy through corneal topography and refractive error measurements, then coordinate with trusted surgical centers for laser vision correction procedures to treat myopia, hyperopia, and astigmatism.
Family Eye Care
We deliver age-appropriate eye care for entire families, including infant vision screenings through the InfantSEE program and school-age vision assessments. Our team manages common childhood vision conditions like amblyopia while providing adult eye health monitoring and treatment.
Vision Therapy
This doctor-supervised program improves visual-motor skills through customized eye exercises. We treat conditions like convergence insufficiency and visual processing disorders that affect reading and learning. Therapy sessions focus on enhancing eye coordination and brain-eye communication.
