Eye Exams
Our comprehensive eye exams evaluate vision acuity, ocular health, and functional visual skills to detect conditions like astigmatism, presbyopia, and glaucoma. We use advanced diagnostics to assess eye coordination, depth perception, and retinal health. Patients receive personalized recommendations for corrective lenses or treatment plans, ensuring optimal visual clarity and long-term eye wellness.
Contact Lenses
We offer custom contact lens fittings for diverse vision needs, including rigid gas-permeable (RGP) lenses for keratoconus and toric lenses for astigmatism. Our team provides education on proper insertion, removal, and care techniques. For patients with dry eyes or sensitivities, we recommend specialized lenses and lubricating solutions to maximize comfort and visual performance.
Glaucoma Testing
Glaucoma testing involves measuring intraocular pressure and examining the optic nerve to detect early signs of the disease. We use tonometry and visual field testing to assess risk factors, especially for patients over 40 or with family history. Early diagnosis allows prompt intervention through medicated eyedrops or surgical referrals to preserve vision.
LASIK Consultations
As a LASIK co-management provider, we conduct thorough pre-surgical evaluations to determine candidacy for laser vision correction. Our services include corneal topography, refraction testing, and post-operative follow-ups. We guide patients through the benefits and risks of LASIK, collaborating with approved surgical centers to ensure safe, precise outcomes for reducing dependence on glasses.
Computer Vision Syndrome
We diagnose and treat computer vision syndrome caused by prolonged digital screen use. Solutions include ergonomic workspace adjustments, prescription computer glasses, and vision therapy for focusing issues. Our team educates patients on the 20-20-20 rule and artificial tears to alleviate symptoms like eye fatigue, headaches, and blurred vision associated with modern digital lifestyles.

They don't respond back to questions or inquiries. When I called a busy time and no voicemail option. How can you do business if you don't reply to your potential customers ?

First visit with Dr. Gilbert today and the staff were all incredibly friendly and thorough. I have always been more satisfied with doctors that can answer my questions before I can even think of them and everyone here knows their stuff. Never left any details out. Let me know what they were doing why and how it is for my benefit. Were very communicative about what my insurance covers what it doesn't and how to work with what I need. And they have a hood sense of humor to boot. All in all a place I expect to get my regular eye care for some time to come

My husband and I have been seeing Dr. Gilbert for more than 20 years. He is thorough, professional, and they currently have the new equipment that are offered in other eye centers. He goes over your medical health issues as well since some issues can affect your eyes. His staff are friendly and helpful when picking out your frames etc. All in all an excellent experience and we'll continue seeing him.
