Services
Comprehensive eye exams
Our thorough eye examinations assess visual acuity, refractive errors, and overall eye health using advanced diagnostic technology. The process includes pupil dilation, intraocular pressure measurement, and peripheral vision testing to detect conditions like glaucoma and macular degeneration. Our doctors spend extensive time with each patient to ensure accurate prescriptions and early detection of systemic health issues through ocular indicators.
Contact lens fittings
We provide specialized contact lens evaluations for patients requiring corrective vision solutions. Our optometrists determine optimal lens parameters through corneal topography and trial fittings while considering lifestyle needs. We offer conventional, toric, and multifocal lenses, including options for astigmatism and presbyopia, with follow-up assessments to ensure proper adaptation and eye health maintenance.
Eye disease treatment
Our practice diagnoses and manages ocular conditions including cataracts, diabetic retinopathy, and glaucoma through regular monitoring and treatment plans. We utilize digital imaging technology for early detection of retinal changes and intraocular pressure abnormalities. Treatment may involve medicated eye drops, laser therapy referrals, or coordination with ophthalmologists for surgical interventions when necessary.
Emergency eye care
We provide urgent care for ocular injuries, foreign body removal, and sudden vision changes during regular business hours. Our team addresses chemical exposures, corneal abrasions, and acute infections with immediate diagnostic evaluation and treatment. We maintain protocols for emergency referrals to specialized care facilities when advanced interventions become necessary beyond our office capabilities.
Eyewear selection
Our optical dispensary offers over 20 designer eyewear brands including Hugo Boss, Vera Wang, and Nike. Our opticians assist patients in selecting frames that complement facial features while considering prescription requirements.

I was concerned about a possible eye infection and was able to make an appointment within a short amount of time.
Turns out I have dry eye (very common in women over 40). Dr. Lam was thorough and so great at explaining the condition.
Here's where the story changes and all goes downhill. This was a year ago. I was given a prescription for Restasis, which was $500 a month. The office let me know of a patient assistance program, then dragged their feet on their end, even though I was approved and could have gotten a much needed prescription. It's time to come in for an exam and get another prescription

Just had my very first visit to Group Eyecare today and am very satisfied with my experience there. I havent been to the eye doctor for a long time and was a little nervous but the ladies working there, Kandy & Jeccea were both super friendly. I felt very comfortable and at ease, and especially with the whole pandemic going on I felt like they definitely were maintaining high standards of cleanliness in the office and on their equipment. Dr. Oberly was also great. Ill definitely be returning for any future appointments

My first visit was smooth and quick. It had been a long time since Ive been to an eye doctor so they explained everything to me before proceeding, making me feel comfortable. When I came in to get my glasses adjusted the assistant loved on my infant daughter which was so sweet. The staff and doctor there are amazing.
