Services
Comprehensive Eye Exams
Our thorough examinations include eye pressure testing, color deficiency screening, and slit lamp evaluations alongside refractive assessments. Using advanced OCT scans and digital retinal photography, we detect early signs of glaucoma, macular degeneration, and diabetic retinopathy while ensuring optimal vision correction for glasses or contact lenses.
Myopia Management
Specialized treatments for nearsighted children include CRT overnight contacts, MiSight daily lenses, and atropine therapy. These FDA-approved methods slow eye elongation progression, reducing future risks of retinal detachment and glaucoma while improving current visual acuity through customized correction plans.
Dry Eye Testing
Advanced diagnostics using Antares topography, meibography, and fluorescein imaging identify tear film instability causes. We measure lipid layer quality and corneal surface integrity to create personalized treatment plans combining prescription drops, lid hygiene products, and environmental modifications for lasting relief.
Contact Lens Fittings
We specialize in complex fittings for astigmatism, presbyopia, and keratoconus using hybrid SynergEyes lenses and Paragon CRT therapeutic contacts. Our process includes trial lenses, comfort assessments, and vision quality testing to ensure optimal oxygen flow and corneal health during extended wear periods.
Functional Vision Testing
RightEye EyeQ assessments measure dynamic visual skills like tracking, focus, and reaction time. This 5-minute test identifies processing inefficiencies affecting reading comprehension and athletic performance, enabling customized vision therapy programs to improve coordination and cognitive visual processing abilities.
