Eye Exams
Our comprehensive eye exams use advanced diagnostic tools to assess vision health and detect early signs of ocular diseases. We provide tailored recommendations for corrective lenses while monitoring conditions like glaucoma and cataracts. The exams include visual acuity tests, refraction assessments, and retinal imaging to ensure optimal eye health for patients aged six months and older.
Myopia Control
We offer specialized myopia management programs using Abiliti and MiSight 1-day contacts, MyoCare lenses, and atropine therapy. Our evidence-based approaches slow the progression of nearsightedness in children through customized treatment plans. Regular monitoring ensures adjustments to prescriptions and lens types as patients' visual needs evolve over time.
Diabetic Eye Care
Our diabetic eye exams utilize fundus photography and OCT imaging to detect retinopathy and macular edema. We monitor vascular changes in the retina caused by blood sugar fluctuations and provide early intervention strategies. Patients receive education on maintaining ocular health through glycemic control and regular screening schedules.
Dry Eye Treatment
We diagnose dry eye causes through tear film analysis and meibomian gland assessments. Treatment options include LipiFlow thermal therapy, intense pulsed light treatments, and prescription Omega-3 supplements. Patients receive personalized at-home care plans with product recommendations available through our online store.
Laser Surgery Consultation
Our pre-operative LASIK consultations include corneal topography mapping and candidacy evaluations. We guide patients through procedure options like PRK and refractive lens exchange while coordinating post-operative care with surgical teams. Comprehensive assessments ensure optimal outcomes for laser vision correction candidates.
