Eye Exams
Our comprehensive eye exams evaluate visual acuity, eye health, and potential diseases. Using advanced technology like computerized auto-refractors and ophthalmoscopes, we detect conditions such as glaucoma and cataracts. The exam includes refraction testing, eye muscle balance assessment, and intraocular pressure measurement to ensure accurate prescriptions and early disease detection.
Contact Lenses
We specialize in contact lens fittings for all prescriptions, including astigmatism and presbyopia. Our practice offers disposable, rigid gas permeable, and specialty lenses. We provide follow-up care to ensure comfort and proper fit, with expertise in managing dry eyes and other challenges. Patients receive personalized guidance on lens care and replacement schedules.
Glaucoma Testing
Glaucoma testing involves measuring intraocular pressure and examining the optic nerve for damage. We use visual field assessments and imaging technology to detect early signs of the disease. Treatment options include medicated eye drops and ongoing monitoring to prevent vision loss, tailored to each patient's specific condition.
LASIK Surgery
We provide pre- and post-operative care for LASIK surgery, including candidacy evaluations and referrals to trusted surgical centers. Our process includes corneal mapping and refraction testing to determine suitability. Post-surgery follow-ups ensure proper healing and optimal visual outcomes, with ongoing support for any complications.
Sports Vision
Sports vision training enhances athletic performance through specialized testing and exercises. We assess visual acuity, depth perception, and eye coordination using tools like contrast sensitivity tests and ocular alignment evaluations. Customized training programs improve hand-eye coordination and reaction times for athletes of all levels.
