Services
Comprehensive Eye Exams
Our comprehensive eye exams assess both vision and ocular health using advanced diagnostic tools like OCT imaging and optomap technology. These exams detect early signs of conditions such as glaucoma, macular degeneration, and diabetic retinopathy while ensuring accurate prescriptions for glasses or contact lenses. Our optometrists tailor each exam to individual needs, emphasizing preventative care for patients of all ages.
Dry Eye Therapy
We offer customized dry eye therapy plans addressing both aqueous deficiency and evaporative dry eye. Treatments include BlephEx lid debridement, punctal plugs, prescription medications like Xiidra, and meibomian gland expression. Our approach combines advanced diagnostics, such as tear osmolarity testing, with personalized care to alleviate symptoms like irritation, burning, and blurred vision caused by chronic dry eye conditions.
Myopia Control
Our myopia control programs target progressive nearsightedness in children using evidence-based interventions like specialty contact lenses and orthokeratology. By monitoring axial elongation with Topcon MYAH technology, we implement personalized strategies to slow myopia progression, reducing long-term risks of retinal detachment and macular degeneration while preserving clear vision during critical developmental years.
Contact Lens Fittings
We specialize in precision contact lens fittings for diverse needs, including toric lenses for astigmatism, multifocal lenses for presbyopia, and scleral lenses for keratoconus or post-surgical patients. Our optometrists use corneal topography and trial lens assessments to ensure optimal comfort, vision clarity, and ocular health for both first-time wearers and experienced users.
Children's Eye Exams
Our pediatric eye exams evaluate visual development, binocular coordination, and ocular health to support academic and physical growth. We screen for amblyopia, strabismus, and refractive errors while providing age-appropriate assessments that ensure early intervention for vision conditions impacting learning and developmental milestones in infants, toddlers, and school-aged children.
