Services
Eye Exams
Our comprehensive eye exams assess visual acuity and detect refractive errors like nearsightedness and astigmatism. Using advanced diagnostic tools, we evaluate eye health while checking for common diseases such as glaucoma and cataracts. Regular exams help maintain optimal vision and identify potential issues early, ensuring timely intervention for patients of all ages.
Dry Eye Therapy
We offer specialized treatments for chronic dry eye conditions, including Restasis prescriptions and Blephex lid treatments. Our approach addresses both symptom relief and underlying causes through personalized care plans. Advanced therapies help improve tear quality and reduce discomfort associated with digital device use or environmental factors.
Myopia Control
Our myopia control program utilizes MiSight contact lenses and atropine eye drops to slow childhood vision deterioration. Customized treatment plans combine corrective optics with lifestyle recommendations to manage nearsightedness progression effectively. Regular monitoring ensures optimal outcomes for young patients requiring vision stabilization.
Contact Lens Fittings
We provide precise contact lens fittings using corneal topography mapping for optimal comfort and vision correction. Our specialists recommend appropriate lens types based on individual eye health and lifestyle needs. Training sessions ensure proper handling techniques for both new and experienced contact lens wearers.
Diabetic Eye Exams
Specialized diabetic eye exams detect early signs of retinopathy and other diabetes-related ocular conditions. Annual comprehensive evaluations monitor vascular changes in the retina to prevent vision loss. Our optometrists collaborate with primary care providers to ensure coordinated management of diabetes-related eye health.
