Dry Eye Services
Our advanced dry eye treatments combine LipiFlow, IPL-RF technology, and PROKERA devices to address Meibomian gland dysfunction and ocular surface disease. We use diagnostic tools like LipiView to create personalized treatment plans that improve tear quality and reduce symptoms like burning and grittiness. These non-invasive therapies help patients achieve long-term relief from chronic dry eye conditions.
Yearly Eye Exams
We conduct thorough eye health assessments using Zeiss OCT imaging and Humphrey Visual Field Analyzer to detect early signs of glaucoma, macular degeneration, and diabetic retinopathy. Our exams include vision testing, prescription updates, and binocular vision evaluation to ensure optimal eye function and overall ocular health for patients of all ages.
Keratoconus Services
Our specialized keratoconus management includes corneal topography mapping and customized contact lens fittings to correct vision distortions caused by thinning corneas. We utilize Medmont Topographer for precise diagnosis and monitor progression using advanced imaging technology to provide timely interventions that preserve visual acuity and comfort.
Glaucoma Treatment
We employ Zeiss HFA3 Visual Field Analyzer and OCT imaging to detect and monitor glaucoma progression through precise intraocular pressure measurements and optic nerve assessments. Our treatment plans combine medicated eye drops, laser therapy options, and regular follow-up exams to prevent vision loss from this silent eye disease.
Contact Lens Fittings
Our practice offers specialty contact lens fittings for astigmatism, presbyopia, and keratoconus using advanced diagnostic tools to ensure optimal lens alignment. We provide education on proper lens care and offer a wide selection of daily disposable and extended wear options to accommodate various lifestyle needs and visual requirements.

I've been coming here for years and referred my whole family. Missy is a great addition to the team! I value their expertise when choosing frame styles, etc... I also need to mention Tara in billing dept, she is very patient and always makes sure you are getting the maximum benefit from your insurance company.

Coming up on 11 weeks to get my 2 week set of glasses. Checked in multiple times but nothing. No contact or updates in weeks. Pathetic and unacceptable! Next week I'll try to get my money back and be done with these people. Let me tell you about my sunglasses. They DID come in after 2 weeks. Missy called me and asked me to come in to get fitted. After making an appointment, I took off work and came in to get fitted. I was told my sunglasses didn't pass inspection the night before and had to be sent back. I had to return at another time. Nice people but...... Never again.

I wish i could give 0 star I went their for eye check up. Doctor Bhalani was in hurry even i asked him to slow down but he was changing the lenses so fast that i could not focus and gave me wrong prescription. Then he write the prescription i paid cash and then went to costco and got 4 new pairs and now all of them have to be replaced. Doctor Bhalani gave me wrong prescription for my eyes i was having sharp pain in around my eyes and cannot focus today i tried my old glasses and i feel relaxed again. If you care about your eyes dont go here. I hope management will read that

Ive been going to one particular place for years and always thought the staff was unfriendly in a cold shoulder kind of way. This year I decided it was time for a change. I have to say that Mechanicsburg Eye was a good choice. The staff have personality, a sense of humor and were knowledgeable. All positive things that encourage me to come back next year. Thanks for the great care!

Dr. Leitzel and his staff provide an excellent customer experience. Tara is so helpful if I have any issues with my insurance and Hans goes way above and beyond in the service he provides. I have some very specific requirements for eye protection and he comes up with solutions that cover every aspect of those needs. I am so comfortable that I let him pick frames for me and he is always looking out and making suggestions that have all worked out so well. Service after my purchases is excellent and his level of dedication to the customer experience is extremely hard to find these days. I can go anywhere
