Services
Comprehensive Eye Exams
Our comprehensive eye exams evaluate both vision and ocular health, using advanced techniques to detect conditions like glaucoma, cataracts, and retinal issues. We assess visual acuity, eye pressure, and peripheral vision, ensuring early diagnosis and tailored treatment plans. Ideal for maintaining long-term eye health and updating prescriptions.
Contact Lens Fittings
We offer personalized contact lens fittings, including measurements for corneal curvature and tear film evaluation. Our optometrists recommend lenses suited to your lifestyle, whether daily disposables, toric lenses for astigmatism, or multifocal options. Training on insertion, removal, and care ensures comfort and proper use for first-time and experienced wearers.
OptoMap Retinal Imaging
OptoMap technology captures 82% of the retina in a single scan, providing detailed images to detect retinal breaks, detachments, or disease indicators. This non-invasive test aids in early diagnosis of conditions like macular degeneration and diabetes-related eye damage, ensuring timely intervention and precise monitoring.
Visual Field Testing
Visual field testing maps your peripheral vision to identify blind spots caused by glaucoma, neurological disorders, or retinal damage. The test involves detecting blinking lights in your visual periphery, offering critical insights for diagnosing and managing conditions affecting sight beyond standard exams.
Surgical Co-Management
We collaborate with leading ophthalmologists for LASIK, cataract, and refractive surgery co-management. Our services include pre-surgical consultations, candidacy assessments, and post-operative care to ensure optimal recovery and outcomes. Patients receive personalized guidance throughout their surgical eye care journey.
