Services
Comprehensive Eye Exams
Our thorough eye exams use advanced technology to assess vision health and detect early signs of eye disease. We evaluate visual acuity, eye coordination, and intraocular pressure while checking for conditions like glaucoma and cataracts. The exams include digital retinal imaging and OCT scans for precise diagnosis.
Dry Eye Therapy
We offer customized dry eye treatments including artificial tears, prescription medications, and meibomian gland expression. Our approach addresses underlying causes like environmental factors or gland dysfunction. Treatment plans combine advanced therapies with lifestyle recommendations to restore ocular surface health and comfort.
Myopia Control
Our myopia management program uses multifocal contact lenses and atropine eye drops to slow nearsightedness progression. We monitor children's vision changes through regular exams while implementing evidence-based interventions. The treatment helps reduce long-term risks of high myopia complications.
Glaucoma Management
We provide early detection and ongoing management of glaucoma through regular intraocular pressure testing and optic nerve assessments. Treatment options include medicated eye drops and coordination with specialists for advanced cases. Our monitoring helps preserve vision through timely intervention.
Digital Eye Strain Solutions
Our digital eye strain assessment identifies symptoms from prolonged screen use. We recommend specialized eyewear with blue light filtering and prescribe vision therapy exercises. The treatment includes ergonomic advice and 20-20-20 rule implementation to reduce eye fatigue from digital devices.
