Services
Routine Eye Exams
Our comprehensive eye exams detect early signs of eye diseases like glaucoma and cataracts while assessing overall vision health. We evaluate visual acuity, eye coordination, and peripheral vision to update prescriptions and identify systemic health issues. Patients receive personalized recommendations for corrective lenses and preventive care strategies tailored to their lifestyle needs.
Medical Eye Exams
These specialized exams diagnose medical eye conditions such as diabetic retinopathy, macular degeneration, and corneal abrasions. Using advanced diagnostic tools like slit lamp and fundus examinations, we assess intraocular pressure and retinal health. Our optometrists develop treatment plans for chronic conditions while monitoring patients with existing eye diseases or systemic health risks.
Contact Lens Fitting
We provide precise contact lens fittings with annual evaluations to ensure corneal health and proper lens fit. Our specialists help patients choose from various lens types including toric, multifocal, and daily disposables. The process includes training on proper insertion, removal, and care techniques for safe, comfortable vision correction.
Prescription Eyewear
Our optical shop offers prescription eyeglasses using premium quality materials for durable, accurate vision correction. Patients receive guidance on lens options like anti-reflective coatings and progressive designs. We ensure proper frame fitting and alignment to maximize visual clarity and comfort for both single-vision and multifocal prescriptions.
Designer Frames
We feature top designer brands including Ray-Ban, Versace, and Coach for fashion-forward eyewear solutions. Our opticians assist with frame selection based on face shape, prescription needs, and personal style preferences. The collection combines cutting-edge designs with durable materials to complement both professional and casual wardrobes.

Very friendly and professional. Have extreme difficulty with my vision though neglected and repeated warnings from the optometrist through the past 7 years. Yet the doctor was understanding yet firm about me wearing my glasses to protect myself from future digression. Hats off to Dr Bench and his fantastic staff
