Services
Dry Eye Therapy
Our personalized dry eye treatments address symptoms like grittiness and blurred vision through advanced diagnostics and tailored interventions. Using technologies like IDRA analysis and IPL therapy, we target root causes such as meibomian gland dysfunction. Treatment plans may include radiofrequency therapy, prescription eye drops, or at-home care routines to restore ocular surface health and improve tear quality for lasting comfort.
Neurolens Prescriptions
Neurolens technology corrects binocular vision dysfunction to alleviate symptoms from prolonged screen use. This contoured prism lens design reduces headaches, eye strain, and neck pain by improving eye alignment. We conduct specialized assessments during comprehensive exams to determine candidacy, offering customized solutions for patients experiencing digital eye fatigue despite standard vision correction.
Comprehensive Eye Exams
Our thorough eye exams evaluate visual acuity, ocular health, and disease risk factors using advanced imaging and testing. We assess binocular vision function, measure intraocular pressure with iCare tonometry, and perform retinal scans to detect early signs of glaucoma, macular degeneration, and diabetic retinopathy. Exams include personalized consultations about vision correction options and preventive eye health strategies.
Contact Lens Fittings
We provide precise contact lens fittings for various needs, including specialty lenses for astigmatism and dry eye. Our optometrists conduct corneal topography to ensure optimal lens curvature and perform trial fittings to confirm comfort. We offer daily disposables, extended wear options, and myopia control lenses like MiSight, with ongoing support for proper lens care and replacement schedules.
Emergency Eye Care
Our clinics handle ocular emergencies including foreign body removal, chemical exposures, and sudden vision changes. We maintain immediate access to diagnostic equipment for assessing injuries, infections, or acute conditions like corneal abrasions. Emergency patients receive priority scheduling with same-day availability to address traumatic or urgent eye health concerns promptly.
