Services
Eye Exams
Our comprehensive eye exams use advanced technology to assess vision quality and detect ocular diseases. We evaluate refractive errors, eye coordination, and overall eye health through detailed testing. Patients receive personalized recommendations for corrective lenses or treatment plans based on their specific needs.
Scleral Lenses
Custom scleral lenses provide vision correction for irregular corneas and severe dry eye conditions. These large-diameter contact lenses vault over the cornea, creating a fluid reservoir that improves comfort and visual clarity for hard-to-fit patients.
Myopia Management
Evidence-based treatments slow childhood myopia progression through orthokeratology and specialized contact lenses. Our program combines corneal reshaping techniques with regular monitoring to reduce future eye disease risks associated with high myopia.
Dry Eye Treatment
Personalized dry eye therapy addresses underlying causes through advanced diagnostic testing and customized treatment plans. Options include prescription medications, lid hygiene protocols, and innovative technologies to restore tear film balance and reduce discomfort.
Neurolenses
These prescription lenses alleviate symptoms of visual misalignment and digital eye strain through contoured prism technology. Neurolenses reduce headaches, dizziness, and eye fatigue caused by prolonged screen use and binocular vision dysfunction.
