Services
Routine Eye Exams
Our comprehensive eye exams use advanced diagnostic technology to assess vision health and detect early signs of ocular disease. The process includes detailed refraction testing for prescription accuracy and thorough retinal evaluation using either dilation or Optos imaging. Patients receive personalized recommendations for vision correction and eye health maintenance based on their specific needs and lifestyle requirements.
Specialty Contacts
We specialize in fitting complex contact lens solutions for irregular corneas and severe dry eyes. Our expertise includes scleral lenses that vault the cornea while creating a hydrating reservoir, hybrid lenses combining rigid and soft materials, and prosthetic lenses for ocular trauma cases. Each fitting involves precise measurements and multiple trial lenses to ensure optimal comfort and visual acuity.
Ocular Disease Management
Our board-certified optometrists provide comprehensive management for conditions like glaucoma, macular degeneration, and diabetic retinopathy. Treatment plans incorporate the latest pharmaceutical options, lifestyle modifications, and coordination with ophthalmologists for surgical interventions when necessary. Regular monitoring ensures timely adjustments to preserve vision and prevent disease progression.
Vision Therapy
This structured program addresses visual processing disorders and binocular vision issues through customized exercises. We treat conditions like strabismus and amblyopia using specialized equipment including computer-based training systems and prism lenses. Progress is tracked through quarterly assessments to measure improvements in eye coordination and visual efficiency.
Sports Vision Training
Designed for athletes seeking enhanced visual performance, this program improves eye-hand coordination, peripheral awareness, and reaction time. Customized training protocols utilize strobe lights, tracking devices, and specialized lenses to develop sport-specific visual skills that translate directly to improved athletic performance on the field or court.

Such a great experience! Everyone is incredibly knowledgeable, welcoming, and kind. The whole team, from Dr. Zheng to the INCREDIBLY patient woman (whose name I can't remember) who helped me pick out (very cool) frames was super attentive and made me feel really well-cared for. Would recommend these guys to anyone!!!

New sunglasses . Oooooh yeah. Ive wanted prescription sunglasses for years but never got around to getting a pair. After my eye exam I finally ordered a pair as a birthday present to myself.
Ive known many doctors over the years and I have to say that Dr. Zheng at Lafayette Optometric Group is truly a top quality physician. I wouldn't be doing this review justice without mentioning the staff. They are friendly, helpful and have great smiles. Definitely a feel good experience.
