Services
Comprehensive Eye Exams
Our thorough eye examinations use advanced diagnostic technology to assess vision health and detect potential eye diseases. These evaluations help determine precise corrective lens prescriptions while screening for conditions like glaucoma and macular degeneration. Our experienced optometrists provide detailed analysis and personalized recommendations during each exam session.
Contact Lenses
We offer comprehensive contact lens fittings with various options including daily disposables, toric lenses, and specialty designs. Our staff provides proper fitting techniques and ongoing care guidance to ensure comfortable, safe lens wear. Patients receive training on insertion, removal, and maintenance procedures during dedicated training sessions.
Eye Disease Treatment
Our clinic specializes in managing common eye diseases like glaucoma, diabetic retinopathy, and cataracts through regular monitoring and treatment plans. We implement evidence-based approaches to slow disease progression while maintaining optimal vision function. Patients receive personalized care plans tailored to their specific conditions and medical histories.
Dry Eye Treatment
We provide specialized dry eye assessments and customized treatment plans using advanced diagnostic tools. Treatment options include artificial tears, prescription medications, and lifestyle modifications to improve tear production and quality. Our team educates patients on environmental factors affecting dry eye symptoms and proper management techniques.
Orthokeratology
This non-surgical vision correction method uses specially designed contact lenses worn overnight to reshape the cornea. We offer customized ortho-k plans for patients seeking alternatives to daytime corrective lenses. The treatment effectively addresses myopia and astigmatism while providing clear vision during waking hours without additional visual aids.

I can't speak to their optometrists, as I'm established with a different optometrist at a different office but I will say THIS is the spot I plan to go to to shop for new glasses. Wendy (optician) is an absolute pleasure to work with and her eye (lol) for tasteful and unique pieces is unmatched! I say this coming from a place of visiting 3-4 optometrist offices solely to find a pair of frames I like lol. This office definitely has a great selection and range of options to choose from! The only downside of this office is that they're a little understaffed (from what I was told) so

My family and I have been visiting this clinic for over 20 yrs (used to be Benson Eye clinic). The doctors are great but their recent front desk staff are horrible at their Jobs! I called last week to make an appointment. They told me to wait and after 10mins hung up the phone. I tried calling them multiple times and they would not answer. I even left several voice mails asking them to call back but still no response. My wife tried calling today and no answer. She left a voicemail and still no response. They need to fix their front desk staffing issues ASAP or I will go to a different clinic.

I haven't been to the clinic since they were at their old location. In fact, 2014 was the last time I visited the eye doctor. Today--my first day of being considered fully vaccinated--seems like the right time to remedy that. And so glad I did. Bigger place, full of friendly and professional people. And here I am, working on the computer WITH CONTACTS like I haven't been able to do for a few years. Feeling refreshed and happy.

I had a great experience with Dr. Huynh and the process went very smoothly. She explained lots of things! I had a few complications with the website not taking my appointment but that could've been a user error. It was easy enough to call and schedule an appointment on the spot. It was quite busy in the office that day but the facility too measures to social distance and wear masks, etc. The glasses selection had a lot of premium and name brand glasses and some affordable ones as well. In the end, I was happy with everything so far and would recommend the doctor. I look forward to my new eye

Dr C is the best eye doctor I've found in probably 5 years and 4 doctors! I have a difficult contact script and he spent extra time with me, gave me two different trial sets to try and after trying set number two at home the next day I realized he nailed it. 5 years of not quite right and he nailed it in one appointment!

Great experience. Would recommend to others. Fantastic service and very nice attentive staff. Frames a bit more expensive than they should but inline with other private eye clinics. Not a huge selection but hey. West's most important s the exam. Good experience. Recommended my wife. Very prompt and personable. Bought aviators.
