Services
Cataract Surgery
Cataract surgery removes clouded natural lenses and replaces them with intraocular implants. Our outpatient procedure takes about 15 minutes per eye, with rapid recovery and improved vision typically within days. We offer monofocal, toric, and multifocal lens options to address specific vision needs, including astigmatism correction and presbyopia solutions. Patients experience enhanced quality of life through restored clarity and reduced dependence on corrective lenses.
Eye Exams
Comprehensive eye exams evaluate visual acuity, eye health, and systemic conditions. Our optometrists use advanced diagnostic tools to detect glaucoma, macular degeneration, and diabetic retinopathy at early stages. We assess eye muscle coordination, pupil response, and internal structures through dilation. Annual exams ensure optimal vision correction and proactive management of age-related changes.
Dry Eye Treatment
Our dry eye specialists identify underlying causes through advanced diagnostics. Treatment options include artificial tears, prescription medications, lacrimal plugs, and OptiLight phototherapy. We address environmental factors and systemic contributors to chronic dryness. Personalized regimens restore ocular surface health and improve comfort for daily activities.
Optical Shop
Our optical departments feature premium lenses and designer frames from leading brands. Specialists help patients select corrective eyewear optimized for vision needs and lifestyle. We offer progressive lenses, transition coatings, and protective eyewear for sports and occupational safety. The team ensures proper fit and provides adjustments for lasting comfort.

Dr. Thompson is my SAVIOR. I had something stuck in my eye and I am TERRIBLY squeamish when it comes to eye stuff. I was so freaked out but she, her assistants, and the whole staff made me feel at ease. They got me in immediately and fixed my eye right up. Dr. Thompson was so nice, honest, efficient, caring, and just an overall superstar. (She even laughed at my jokes which I truly appreciate.) THANK YOU ACCESS EYE FOR RESTORING MY FAITH IN DOCTORS AND FOR SAVING MY CORNEA.

This was my initial appointment with this provider after having been seen by a previous provider for a number of years due to a change in my Medicare plan. I was seen for an annual diabetic eye exam , and was extremely impressed with the practice and its services. Everyone I encountered was extremely friendly and professional. I would like to note that the tech, Tim, who worked with me was especially through and made a procedure which could be daunting very pleasant. I would whole heartedly recommend the provider.
