Services
Dry Eye Treatment
Our practice offers advanced LipiFlow treatment for chronic evaporative dry eye conditions. This procedure targets blocked Meibomian glands, addressing the root cause rather than temporary symptoms. Patients receive personalized evaluations to determine appropriate treatment plans.
Eye Exams
Comprehensive eye examinations assess both vision correction needs and ocular health. Tests include visual acuity measurement, depth perception evaluation, and intraocular pressure screening. Exams accommodate patients aged five and up for both routine and medical concerns.
LASIK Consultation
Pre-operative LASIK evaluations determine surgical candidacy through detailed eye health assessments. We coordinate with surgical centers for advanced diagnostic testing and provide post-operative care through scheduled follow-up appointments over six months.
