Services
Eye Exams
Our comprehensive eye exams assess visual acuity, eye health, and potential ocular diseases using advanced diagnostic tools. We recommend annual exams for children and adults with vision correction needs, while adults aged 19-64 should have exams every 1-3 years. The process includes digital retinal imaging and visual field testing to detect early signs of conditions like glaucoma and macular degeneration.
Low Vision Services
Specialized evaluations identify optimal optical devices for patients with macular degeneration, glaucoma, or other vision impairments. Our certified specialists prescribe bioptic telescopes, electronic magnifiers, and customized solutions to enhance daily living activities while maintaining independence through evidence-based sight enhancement techniques.
LASIK Surgery
We provide pre-operative consultations and post-operative care for LASIK procedures. Our optometrists evaluate corneal health and visual requirements to determine candidacy for this refractive surgery, which corrects nearsightedness, farsightedness, and astigmatism through precise laser reshaping of the cornea for improved visual acuity without corrective lenses.
Eyeglasses
Our optical selection includes designer frames, progressive lenses, and specialized eyewear for computer use or sports activities. We offer transitional lenses that adapt to light conditions, blue light filtering options, and customized prescriptions to address unique visual needs while prioritizing comfort and aesthetic preferences.
Contact Lenses
We fit disposable soft lenses, toric lenses for astigmatism, and multifocal contacts for presbyopia. Our process includes corneal mapping and trial fittings to ensure optimal comfort and visual clarity. We also provide specialty lenses for keratoconus and other irregular corneal conditions, with ongoing follow-up care to maintain eye health.
