Services
Comprehensive Eye Exams
Our detailed eye exams assess vision prescription, eye health, and potential diseases using advanced diagnostic technology. We evaluate eye coordination, focusing ability, and screen for conditions like glaucoma and diabetic retinopathy. The exam includes personalized explanations of results and treatment recommendations in English or Spanish.
Dry Eye Therapy
We diagnose dry eye causes through meibomian gland analysis and tear quality testing. Treatment options include prescription drops, nutritional supplements, and Intense Pulsed Light therapy. Our specialists create customized plans to improve tear production and reduce discomfort from environmental factors or digital screen use.
Binocular Vision Dysfunction
Specialized treatment for eye misalignment using prism lenses and vision therapy. We address symptoms like headaches and dizziness through comprehensive evaluations and personalized corrective solutions. Our experts use advanced diagnostics to measure eye coordination and develop effective treatment plans.
Myopia Management
Custom treatment plans slow childhood myopia progression using orthokeratology, multifocal contacts, and atropine therapy. We monitor axial eye growth with precise measurements to reduce future eye disease risks while maintaining clear vision for academic and athletic performance.
Emergency Eye Care
Immediate treatment for eye injuries, infections, and sudden vision changes. Our bilingual team handles foreign objects, chemical exposures, and acute conditions like retinal detachment symptoms. After-hours emergency coverage ensures timely care for urgent ocular issues requiring prompt attention.
