Comprehensive Eye Exams
Our thorough eye examinations assess both vision quality and ocular health using advanced diagnostic technology. These exams detect early signs of eye diseases while determining precise corrective lens prescriptions. Our doctors spend dedicated time explaining results and developing personalized care plans tailored to each patient's specific visual needs.
Myopia Control
Specialized treatments slow the progression of nearsightedness in children through orthokeratology and specialty contact lenses. Our evidence-based approach combines corneal reshaping techniques with regular monitoring to manage myopia effectively. This proactive strategy reduces future risks of severe eye conditions associated with progressive myopia in young patients.
Emergency Eye Care
Immediate treatment for sudden eye injuries, infections, and vision changes during regular business hours. Our equipped facility handles urgent cases like foreign body removal and acute glaucoma symptoms. Doctors prioritize timely intervention while ensuring proper follow-up care for optimal recovery outcomes.
Specialty Contact Lenses
Advanced lens options address complex vision needs including keratoconus, astigmatism, and presbyopia. We fit scleral lenses, hybrid lenses, and multifocal contacts with precision. Personalized training and follow-up appointments ensure optimal comfort and visual performance with specialty lens solutions for challenging cases.
Dry Eye Treatment
Customized treatment plans target the root causes of chronic dryness and irritation. Advanced therapies include LipiFlow treatment, punctal plugs, and prescription medications. Our approach combines diagnostic testing with lifestyle modifications to provide lasting relief and improve overall ocular surface health for sustained comfort.

I have changed optometry offices over the last several years because I have not been satisfied with any of them. That all changed today. A few weeks ago, I called to schedule an appointment. I was told I should complete the patient form online and bring it to my appointment. This morning, on the day of my appointment, I received a text message an hour before my appointment instructing me to wait in my car when I arrived and to call the office. Erika answered my call and said I could come in and to knock when I was at the office. She brought me back to do the initial intake and and the pre-exam

I have been here for 3 sets of glasses now. Each time one normal and one prescription sunglasses. They offer a pretty good choice of frames. They also offer an option for a clip on reading lens so that I can still have a single vision for distance and playing sports. Maybe that is more common now but I had not seen that anywhere else. It is all a bit on the pricey side so hence 4 stars and not 5.
The technicians are all very helpful in adjusting your glasses and stuff. All the staff was friendly to me. I have seen Dr V and Dr R on all my visits. They were both very professional in my interactions

I used to love coming here, but a few years ago everything changed, the staff, the doctors, even the guy who shows you glasses, everyone is trying to sell you something! I was prescribed a contact brand I did not ask for and specifically told the doctor that I do not want. I have been using the same brand for years and have been very happy with it... now when I try to order my regular brand contact through 1800 contacts this office denies it. Very dissatisfied and will not be coming back here for my next exam!

I had to come to Shady Grove Eye and Vision Care a couple times within the past year due to issues with my eyes. I was diagnosed with dry eye last year. I don't wear contacts or glasses and I was hoping the issue would go away with time but it didn't really so I looked them up on yelp (thank you yelpers) and decided to call and make an appointment. It's a really nice facility and the staff is nice and attentive. When you check in, there's not really much of a wait. They took really good care of me and I felt like everything was explained to me thoroughly and efficiently. I wasn

I've been coming here now for a year for my eye exams and glasses. Everyone is so friendly and professional, from the office staff, to the technicians, to the doctors. The staff does an excellent job of explaining my benefits to me when it comes time to purchases glasses, which can be confusing at best. I would tell all my friends to come here for their eye care needs.

It took 8 pairs of glasses and two additional eye appointments for you guys to realize that the prescription they gave my husband was missing his astigmatism. Each time we got glasses made somewhere else and they didn't work for him to see clearly we came to you guys and you checked them and said it was the right prescription. We came back in and took time off work to get his eyes rechecked you said the prescription was correct. We then spent double the money assuming no one else could make them correctly so we got sunglasses and glasses from you all. The sunglasses finally made it in. We

My family has been going to Shady Grove Eye and Vision for over 10 years. Our current Dr, Dr Rubin, is top notch. I highly recommend this eye care center.
