Services
Comprehensive Eye Exams
Our thorough eye exams use advanced technology to assess vision needs and detect eye diseases. We evaluate refractive errors, color vision, depth perception, and neurological function while checking for early signs of cataracts, glaucoma, and retinal problems. Patients receive personalized explanations of their eye health and treatment options during these detailed assessments.
Dry Eye Treatment
As an accredited Tearlab practice, we diagnose and treat dry eye disease using objective measurements and customized treatment plans. Options include prescription medications, punctal plugs, and specialized contact lenses. Our approach addresses underlying causes while considering systemic factors like medication side effects and hormonal changes affecting tear production.
Contact Lens Fittings
We specialize in fitting all contact lens types including daily disposables, silicone hydrogel, and multifocal lenses. The process includes tear film evaluation, trial lens assessments, and follow-up appointments to ensure optimal comfort and vision correction. Our expertise handles both routine and complex fitting requirements for successful contact lens wear.
Eyewear Selection
Our optical department offers premium eyewear solutions with brands like Costa Del Mar and Rudy Project. Using Zeiss technology, we ensure precise frame fitting and lens customization for progressive, computer vision, and sports-specific needs. The selection includes safety glasses, sunglasses, and prescription eyewear tailored to individual lifestyles.
Pre/Post-Op Care
We provide comprehensive care for patients undergoing refractive, cataract, and lid surgeries. Services include pre-operative evaluations, surgical planning, and post-operative monitoring to ensure proper healing. Our coordination with surgical teams maintains continuity of care throughout the treatment process for optimal visual outcomes.

Dr Raddish and his staff were very compassionate and caring when I had an eye emergency while away from home . I would and have recommended him to a friend. A special thank you to Pat for working with my insurance company to cover this out of network expense.

Dr. Raddish is clearly knowledgeable and staff, including Pat, pleasant. For the first time in years, I have been fit with a pair of contacts allowing me to see near AND far, and I am thrilled! I went to Deep Creek eye care because of it's proximity to my home, but I recommend it because it is great!

Because of a previously unimpressive experience in this area, i was avoiding an eye exam. Finally broke my glasses and chose Deep Creek from an internet search. All the other good reviews are true! Most impressive is the pleasant, personalized care. Dr. Radish uses the latest technology and explains findings clearly. He and his small, friendly staff worked patiently with each other and me to ensure I was happy with the glasses I chose. I recommend this facility to anyone within driving distance!
