Services
Comprehensive Eye Exams
Our thorough eye exams use advanced diagnostic technology to assess vision health and detect ocular diseases. We evaluate visual acuity, eye coordination, and intraocular pressure while checking for conditions like glaucoma and macular degeneration. Patients receive personalized recommendations for corrective lenses or treatment plans based on their specific needs and lifestyle.
Dry Eye Therapy
We offer specialized dry eye management using cutting-edge technologies like Envision Lumecca IPL and TearCare System. Our treatments target the root causes of dry eye through meibomian gland expression, anti-inflammatory therapies, and customized artificial tear regimens. Patients receive ongoing support to maintain ocular surface health and comfort.
Myopia Management
Our evidence-based myopia control programs combine orthokeratology lenses, atropine therapy, and lifestyle modifications. We use advanced corneal topography to monitor progression and adjust treatment plans for children and young adults. The goal is to slow axial elongation and reduce long-term risks of high myopia-related complications.
Specialty Contact Lenses
We specialize in fitting complex contact lens prescriptions including scleral lenses, multifocal designs, and orthokeratology lenses. Our practitioners use corneal topography to ensure optimal lens fit and comfort. Patients receive comprehensive training on proper lens handling and maintenance for safe, effective vision correction.
Ocular Aesthetics
Our ocular aesthetics services include Upneeq eyelid treatment and Envision Forma Radiofrequency for periocular rejuvenation. These non-invasive procedures address droopy eyelids and periorbital wrinkles while maintaining ocular safety. Treatments are administered by certified professionals with specialized training in facial anatomy.
