Services
Comprehensive Eye Exams
Our thorough eye exams assess visual acuity, eye health, and systemic health indicators. Using digital retinal imaging and OCT scans, we detect early signs of glaucoma, diabetic retinopathy, and macular degeneration. The exams include prescription updates for glasses and contact lenses, with specialized testing for children and patients with complex vision needs.
Scleral Contact Lenses
Custom scleral lenses provide vision correction for irregular corneas caused by keratoconus or post-surgical changes. These large-diameter gas permeable lenses create a smooth optical surface while maintaining corneal hydration. Our fittings use advanced corneal topography mapping to ensure optimal comfort and visual clarity.
Dry Eye Treatment
We offer advanced management for chronic dry eye syndrome through customized treatment plans. Our approach combines diagnostic testing with options like prescription medications, punctal plugs, and lifestyle modifications. The treatment addresses underlying causes while providing immediate symptom relief through specialized lubricants and therapeutic contact lenses.
LASIK Co-Management
Our pre-operative evaluations and post-operative care ensure optimal LASIK outcomes. We perform comprehensive screenings to determine surgical candidacy and coordinate care with top refractive surgeons. The service includes detailed corneal mapping, patient education about procedure options, and follow-up care to monitor healing progress.
Myopia Management
This specialized program slows childhood myopia progression through evidence-based interventions. We utilize orthokeratology lenses, atropine therapy, and outdoor activity recommendations. The treatment combines regular eye exams with customized optical solutions to reduce long-term risks of high myopia-related eye diseases.
