Services
Comprehensive Eye Exams
Our comprehensive eye exams use advanced diagnostic tools to assess vision health and detect early signs of eye diseases. We evaluate visual acuity, eye function, and internal eye health through dilation and OCT imaging. Exams help identify conditions like glaucoma, diabetic retinopathy, and macular degeneration while updating prescriptions for glasses or contacts.
Dry Eye Treatment
Specialized dry eye treatments at Legacy Eye Care utilize technologies like LipiFlow and TearLab to address meibomian gland dysfunction. We create personalized management plans incorporating artificial tears, punctal plugs, and lifestyle adjustments. Our goal is to restore ocular surface health and relieve symptoms like burning and irritation.
Pediatric Eye Exams
We provide age-appropriate pediatric eye exams to detect and manage vision problems affecting children's learning and development. Our exams assess visual acuity, eye coordination, and developmental milestones. Early intervention prevents long-term issues and supports optimal academic performance through clear vision.
Diabetic Eye Exams
These specialized exams monitor diabetes-related eye complications using OCT imaging to detect retinal changes. We screen for diabetic retinopathy, macular edema, and cataracts. Regular monitoring helps preserve vision through early detection and coordinated care with primary physicians.
Contact Lens Fitting
Our contact lens fittings include corneal mapping and tear film analysis to ensure comfortable, customized lens solutions. We offer specialty lenses for astigmatism, dry eyes, and presbyopia from premium brands. Trial lenses help patients determine optimal fit before purchasing.
