Comprehensive Eye Exams
Our thorough eye examinations assess visual acuity, eye health, and systemic disease indicators. Using advanced diagnostic tools, we detect early signs of conditions like glaucoma and diabetic retinopathy while determining optimal vision correction. The exam includes intraocular pressure testing, retinal imaging, and binocular vision assessment. Patients receive personalized recommendations for corrective lenses or medical treatment based on their specific needs.
Contact Lens Fittings
We offer customized contact lens solutions for various vision needs. Our specialists conduct detailed corneal topography to ensure proper lens fit while considering lifestyle factors. Services include trial lenses, follow-up evaluations, and education on proper lens care. We provide options for astigmatism, presbyopia, and specialty prescriptions with both disposable and extended wear materials available.
Diabetic Eye Exams
Specialized eye exams for diabetes management include retinal scans and vascular assessments. We monitor for diabetic retinopathy signs through dilated pupil examinations and optical coherence tomography. Patients receive guidance on blood sugar control's impact on vision while tracking disease progression through regular follow-ups to prevent vision loss.
Ocular Emergency Care
Our urgent eye care services address injuries, infections, and sudden vision changes. We treat corneal abrasions, foreign body removal, chemical burns, and acute glaucoma attacks using specialized equipment. The practice provides same-day appointments for red eyes, vision loss, and trauma cases, offering immediate interventions to preserve vision and eye health.
Pediatric Eye Exams
We conduct age-appropriate vision assessments for children starting at age 4. Our exams evaluate visual development, eye coordination, and learning-related vision skills. The practice uses engaging techniques to assess visual acuity while screening for amblyopia, strabismus, and refractive errors that could impact academic performance.

First time visit and it was great. Office staff very friendly and helpful. Dr. Malon was great, saw cataracts in both my husbands eyes. Talked with him about the surgery and what it would involve. Very professional and will be returning.
