Services
Comprehensive eye exams
Our thorough eye examinations assess visual acuity, eye health, and potential vision problems. Using advanced diagnostic technology like iScan retinal imaging, we detect early signs of eye diseases and systemic health issues. The exam includes glaucoma testing, macular degeneration evaluation, and personalized recommendations for vision correction.
Contact lens fittings
We offer specialized contact lens evaluations for various needs, including daily disposables, toric lenses for astigmatism, and multifocal options. Our experienced staff ensures proper fit and comfort while providing comprehensive training on lens care and maintenance for safe, effective vision correction.
Ortho-K therapy
This non-surgical treatment uses specially designed contact lenses worn overnight to gently reshape the cornea. Ideal for active individuals and children, it provides clear daytime vision without glasses or contacts while potentially slowing myopia progression in younger patients.
LASIK consultations
We provide pre- and post-operative care for LASIK procedures through our partnership with NVISION Laser Eye Centers. Our doctors evaluate candidacy, perform necessary testing, and manage follow-up care to ensure optimal outcomes for patients seeking permanent vision correction.
Emergency eye care
We treat urgent eye conditions including infections, foreign body removal, and sudden vision changes. Our team provides prompt assessment and treatment for ocular injuries and acute symptoms, with same-day appointments available for critical cases requiring immediate attention.

Very helpful and reasonably priced. The receptionist went out of her way to help us find a specific pair of frames from Oakley and the lenses we got put into the frames we had weren't too expensive compared to other places we shopped around!

Hands down the best optometrist ever. The entire office is wonderful. They are super convenient and helpful. I email them the glasses I need and they do the rest for me. Online services can't even compare to their customer service. When I went in for my eye appointment a year ago Dr. Shea was professional and personable. Seriously, if you are looking for a new optometrist this is the office to go to.
