Eye Exams
Our comprehensive eye examinations assess visual acuity, eye health, and systemic health indicators. Using advanced diagnostic technology, we detect vision impairments, ocular diseases, and systemic conditions affecting eye health. The exams include detailed analysis of refractive errors, binocular vision function, and corneal health, providing essential baseline data for personalized treatment plans.
Scleral Lenses
Custom-designed scleral lenses vault over irregular corneas while resting on the sclera for stable, comfortable vision correction. These gas-permeable lenses effectively treat keratoconus, post-surgical vision irregularities, and severe dry eye conditions by creating a protective fluid reservoir over the cornea.
Dry Eye Treatment
Our multi-modal dry eye management combines advanced diagnostics with personalized treatment protocols. Services include intense pulsed light therapy, prescription eye drops, lid hygiene education, and customized lubricant regimens to address meibomian gland dysfunction and aqueous deficiency.
Keratoconus Management
Specialized treatment programs for progressive corneal thinning disorders include corneal cross-linking, hybrid contact lens fittings, and scleral lens customization. We provide ongoing monitoring and intervention to preserve visual function and delay disease progression.
Orthokeratology
Overnight orthokeratology uses customized gas-permeable lenses to temporarily reshape the cornea, providing daytime vision correction without lenses or surgery. This non-invasive option effectively manages myopia progression in children and offers convenient vision correction for active adults.
