Eye Exams
Our comprehensive eye exams use advanced diagnostic technology to assess visual acuity, binocular coordination, and ocular health. We detect early signs of conditions like glaucoma and macular degeneration while determining precise corrective lens prescriptions. Our optometrists tailor exams to different age groups, with specialized pediatric assessments and senior eye health evaluations.
Corrective Eyewear
We offer a wide selection of designer frames and high-quality lenses including progressive, anti-glare, and UV-protected options. Our on-site lab provides same-day adjustments and repairs while our stylists help clients choose frames that complement facial features and lifestyle needs. We carry premium brands like Jimmy Choo and Michael Kors.
Contact Lenses
Our optometrists fit all contact lens types including toric, multifocal, and extended-wear lenses. We provide detailed training for new users and maintain strict hygiene protocols for lens care. The clinic stocks popular brands and offers disposable options while monitoring eye health during regular follow-up appointments for contact lens wearers.
Surgery Assessment
We conduct thorough pre-surgical evaluations for LASIK and cataract procedures, including corneal topography and intraocular pressure measurements. Our optometrists coordinate with surgeons for post-operative care, monitoring healing progress and managing complications. We provide detailed recovery guidance and follow-up assessments to ensure optimal surgical outcomes.
Low Vision Services
Our specialized low vision exams assess remaining visual function using high-powered magnifiers and telescopic systems. We develop customized adaptation strategies including video magnification aids and lighting optimization. The service includes hands-on training with assistive devices and environmental modifications to maximize independence for patients with permanent vision loss.

Questions
How often should I have an eye exam?
Children need annual exams. Adults aged 19-64 should get exams every two years, while seniors over 65 require yearly check-ups. Diabetic patients need annual exams regardless of age.
Does MSP cover eye exams?
MSP covers annual exams for patients under 19 and seniors over 65. Medical conditions affecting eye health qualify for partial coverage. Adults 19-64 without medical conditions receive partial coverage once every two years.
When should children have first eye exam?
First exam by six months old, followed by another at three years, then annually until adulthood. Early detection improves treatment outcomes for conditions like amblyopia.
What's difference between sight test and eye exam?
A sight test only determines glasses prescription. Our comprehensive exams include eye health assessment, intraocular pressure testing, and screening for diseases like glaucoma and diabetes.
Do you handle eye emergencies?
Yes, we provide same-day appointments for eye emergencies including foreign objects, sudden vision loss, and infections. Our team treats urgent cases during regular business hours.
