Dry Eye Treatment
Our dry eye specialists use advanced diagnostics to identify underlying causes of discomfort, offering personalized treatment plans that address both symptoms and root issues. We prioritize long-term relief through tailored therapies, including specialized drops and lifestyle adjustments. Patients benefit from our focus on holistic solutions that integrate overall health factors contributing to dry eye syndrome.
Vision Therapy
This specialized program improves visual skills through customized exercises targeting eye coordination, focusing, and processing abilities. Ideal for children with learning-related vision issues or adults seeking enhanced visual performance, our therapy sessions utilize evidence-based techniques to strengthen neural connections between eyes and brain. Progress is tracked through regular assessments to ensure optimal outcomes.
Scleral Contact Lenses
Custom-designed scleral lenses provide superior comfort and vision correction for irregular corneas or severe dry eye patients. These large-diameter contacts vault over the cornea, creating a hydrating reservoir that protects sensitive eye surfaces. Our fitting process uses precise corneal mapping technology to ensure perfect lens geometry for each patient's unique ocular anatomy.
Neuro-Optometric Rehabilitation
Post-trauma vision rehabilitation addresses visual disturbances caused by brain injuries or neurological conditions. Our approach combines specialized lenses, prisms, and therapeutic activities to restore functional vision and alleviate symptoms like double vision or spatial disorientation. Treatment plans are developed in coordination with other healthcare providers for comprehensive patient recovery.
Orthokeratology
Ortho-K uses custom overnight contact lenses to temporarily reshape the cornea, providing clear daytime vision without glasses or contacts. This non-surgical alternative to LASIK effectively manages myopia progression in children and offers convenient vision correction for active adults. Regular follow-ups ensure proper corneal health and treatment effectiveness over time.

Questions
Why does my child need a comprehensive eye exam if they passed a school screening?
School screenings detect gross vision problems but miss subtle issues affecting learning and development. Our exams check eye health and functional vision skills critical for academic success.
How does dry eye treatment differ from over-the-counter solutions?
We identify root causes through advanced diagnostics, creating personalized plans that address underlying factors rather than just temporary symptom relief from artificial tears.
What makes orthokeratology a safer LASIK alternative?
Ortho-K uses specialized contacts to temporarily reshape the cornea overnight, providing clear vision without surgery or permanent eye modifications, with reversible effects.
Do you handle eye emergencies after regular business hours?
Yes, we provide guidance for urgent eye care needs outside office hours through our emergency contact system for immediate assistance.
What insurance plans do you accept?
We accept major vision and medical insurance plans including VSP, EyeMed, Blue Shield, and Medicare. Contact us to verify specific coverage details.
How can sports vision training improve athletic performance?
Our training enhances visual skills like reaction time, peripheral awareness, and eye tracking, directly improving performance in competitive sports environments.
