Eye Exams
Our comprehensive eye exams include detailed vision testing and eye health assessments. Using advanced diagnostic technology, we evaluate visual acuity, eye coordination, and overall eye health. Our optometrists provide personalized recommendations for vision correction and monitor for early signs of eye diseases like glaucoma and macular degeneration.
Emergency Optometry
We provide 24/7 care for urgent eye conditions including injuries, infections, and sudden vision changes. Our experienced team handles corneal abrasions, chemical exposures, and foreign object removal. Immediate treatment helps prevent permanent vision damage and ensures proper follow-up care for complex eye emergencies.

We offer a wide selection of contact lenses including daily disposables, toric lenses, and specialty fittings. Our optometrists perform precise measurements to ensure comfortable, accurate vision correction. We provide guidance on proper lens care and offer trial fittings to help patients find the most suitable contact lens options.
Pediatric Eye Care
Our child-friendly eye exams assess visual development and detect early vision problems. We test color vision, eye coordination, and focusing ability in a comfortable environment. Early detection of conditions like amblyopia ensures timely intervention and better treatment outcomes for children's long-term visual development.

The staff was great but the prices are pure extortion!. This is one of the big eye glass sellers that charge you 300 for something that cost less than 10$ to make

I had the pleasure of having Jackie assist me in picking out a new pair of glasses, when all was said and done she showed me price comparisons between out of pocket vs insurance. The difference in dollars was amazing of course i went with her suggestion and she saved me several hundred dollars. I have been going to Az. Primary Eye Care for approximately 5 years and this was by far my best experience. I sure hope this young lady gets promoted to mgmt some day because she has everything you would want in dealing with a business like thus. Thank you Jackie!!

The whole office was great and very helpful. I had been trying out contacts and i found them all to be very helpful and patient with me during the process. Salina was in particular great and i loved how she was trying to calm my nerves.

Dr. Romero was amazing, she was friendly and thorough, thus the 2 stars. If just on office staff would be 1 star. However the rest of my visit was not very good. My insurance covers lenses and gives $200 credit towards materials but the office would not honor my plan. They told me I was wrong about what was covered. I called my insurance and they confirmed with me my coverage and so I had them talk to the office staff to advise them and the staff said they do not honor the insurance and that the only way to get coverage was under age 21. I am going to have to go to Nationwide to get my glasses
