Dry Eye Treatment
Our specialized dry eye program addresses the root causes of chronic dryness through advanced diagnostics and customized treatment plans. We offer multiple therapeutic options including IPL therapy, prescription medications, and lifestyle modifications. Patients benefit from our doctors' extensive experience in managing this complex condition.
Myopia Management
This evidence-based program slows childhood myopia progression using orthokeratology and specialty contact lenses. Our doctors monitor eye development to reduce future risks of serious eye diseases. Treatment plans are tailored to each child's specific visual needs and lifestyle.
Binocular Vision Dysfunction
We diagnose and treat misalignment issues causing headaches, dizziness, and reading difficulties through prism lenses and vision therapy. Our comprehensive evaluations identify subtle misalignments that impact daily functioning. Treatment improves visual comfort and cognitive performance.
Scleral Contact Lenses
Custom-designed scleral lenses provide clear vision for irregular corneas and severe dry eye patients. These large-diameter lenses vault the cornea creating a hydrating reservoir. Our certified fitters use advanced mapping technology for optimal lens design and comfort.
Eye Disease Management
We monitor and treat progressive eye diseases like glaucoma, macular degeneration, and diabetic retinopathy using the latest diagnostic tools. Our proactive approach focuses on early detection and personalized treatment plans to maintain optimal vision long-term.
