Services
Eye Examination
Our comprehensive eye exams use advanced technology like OCT imaging to assess visual acuity, binocular vision, and ocular health. We detect early signs of conditions like glaucoma and macular degeneration while determining precise corrective lens prescriptions. Patients receive detailed explanations of their results and personalized care recommendations.
Contact Lens Fitting
We offer customized contact lens fittings for daily disposables, monthly lenses, and specialty options like scleral lenses. Our optometrists measure corneal shape and evaluate lifestyle needs to ensure optimal comfort and vision clarity. Follow-up appointments ensure proper adaptation and eye health maintenance.
Dry Eye Therapy
Our targeted dry eye treatments include radiofrequency therapy, meibomian gland expression, and prescription anti-inflammatory drops. We address underlying causes through personalized plans combining in-office procedures with at-home care strategies like lid hygiene and environmental adjustments.
Eye Aesthetics
Revive Eye Spa offers non-invasive treatments like TempSure Envi skin tightening, AlumierMD facials, and lash lifts. These services enhance natural beauty while addressing periorbital concerns through FDA-approved technologies and medical-grade skincare products.
Myopia Management
We provide evidence-based myopia control for children using specialized contact lenses and biometry measurements. Our programs slow nearsightedness progression through customized treatment plans combining corrective optics with lifestyle modification guidance.
