Comprehensive Eye Exams
Our thorough eye exams assess visual acuity, eye health, and detect early signs of diseases like glaucoma and cataracts. Using advanced diagnostic technology, we provide accurate prescriptions for glasses or contact lenses while monitoring systemic health indicators visible through ocular examination.
Contact Lenses
We offer specialized fittings for toric lenses for astigmatism, bifocal soft lenses, and colored/visibility tint options. Our practice recommends Acuvue lenses with UV protection but accommodates all major brands, ensuring optimal comfort and vision correction tailored to individual eye shapes and lifestyles.
Glaucoma Treatment
Our therapeutically certified optometrists provide glaucoma screening through tonometry and visual field testing. Treatment plans include medicated eye drops, ongoing pressure monitoring, and co-management with ophthalmologists for surgical interventions when necessary to preserve vision.
Emergency Eye Care
We offer 24/7 emergency services for acute conditions like foreign body removal, chemical exposure, and sudden vision changes. Our team provides immediate assessment and treatment for eye pain, infections, and trauma to prevent permanent damage outside regular office hours.
