Services
Comprehensive Eye Exams
Our complete eye examinations assess vision correction needs and detect eye diseases. Using advanced diagnostic tools, we evaluate eye health, check for common conditions like glaucoma and macular degeneration, and provide personalized treatment recommendations. Annual exams ensure early detection of potential vision problems.
Dry Eye Testing
We diagnose and treat dry eye syndrome through specialized testing. Our optometrists identify causes like poor tear quality or environmental factors, then develop customized treatment plans. Services include tear film evaluation and management of chronic dry eye conditions to improve patient comfort.
Contact Lenses
We offer comprehensive contact lens fittings and evaluations. Our services include trial lenses, proper prescription determination, and follow-up care. We provide various lens types including daily disposables, extended wear, and specialty lenses for astigmatism or difficult-to-fit patients.
Retinal Imaging
Digital retinal imaging captures detailed images of the eye's interior to detect diseases like diabetes and macular degeneration. This technology creates permanent records for tracking eye health changes over time and aids in patient education about treatment options.
Glaucoma Screening
Our glaucoma screening includes tonometry, visual field testing, and optic nerve evaluation. We use specialized equipment to measure eye pressure, assess peripheral vision, and detect early signs of this vision-threatening condition. Regular screening helps prevent permanent vision loss.

Report
The eye doctor herself was fantastic, she explained everything very well. I truly would give this place a 5 star only because of her, but there are a few things about this place that limits me from doing such. There is a major lack of frames to pick from, with insurance you are limited to either really cheap frames, or you're coming out of your pocket for frames, there is really no in between. Also be weary because I am now going on my third week of waiting for my glasses to come in, with no promises of them being in by the forth week. I understand things happen, but I get no update or anything

Really disappointed that the staff including the office manager do not have respect for their patients/customers time or lives. I had a good experience until I had driven to Walmart to buy contacts and contacted the office so they could fax my prescription. The receptionist informed me that my prescription was not valid because my insurance did not approve payment for my contact fitting. I explained to her that I had already received my prescription weeks ago and that it had been signed by the doctor. She still would not fax it over and I asked to speak with Dr. Smith since he had seen me last
