Services
Comprehensive Eye Exams
Our thorough eye examinations assess both vision quality and overall eye health. Using advanced diagnostic tools, we detect early signs of ocular diseases like glaucoma and macular degeneration. The exam includes vision evaluation, intraocular pressure testing, and retinal imaging to ensure complete assessment of your visual system.
Pediatric Eye Exams
Specialized eye evaluations for children from infancy through adolescence. Our exams assess visual development, eye coordination, and detect conditions like amblyopia or strabismus. Early detection helps prevent learning difficulties caused by undiagnosed vision problems, ensuring optimal visual development for academic and athletic performance.
TempSure Envi
Non-surgical dry eye therapy using radiofrequency technology to stimulate tear production. This treatment addresses meibomian gland dysfunction by reducing eyelid inflammation and improving tear quality. Patients experience relief from dry eye symptoms without invasive procedures or prolonged recovery periods.
Hard to Fit Contact Lenses
Custom contact lens fittings for complex vision conditions like keratoconus and astigmatism. We offer scleral lenses, gas permeable lenses, and toric lenses that provide comfortable, clear vision for patients who struggle with traditional contacts. Our optometrists specialize in challenging lens fittings.
LASIK Co-Management
Pre- and post-operative care for LASIK surgery patients. We evaluate candidacy, perform baseline eye measurements, and provide follow-up care after surgical vision correction. Our doctors coordinate with local surgeons to ensure optimal outcomes for patients seeking permanent vision correction solutions.
