Services
Eye Examination
Our comprehensive eye exams use advanced diagnostic equipment to assess vision quality and detect ocular diseases. The process includes glaucoma screening, cataract evaluation, and retinal imaging. Annual examinations help identify systemic health issues like diabetes through ocular indicators while ensuring optimal vision correction.
Myopia Management
Specialized contact lenses and therapeutic interventions slow progressive myopia in children. Daily disposable lenses defocus peripheral light to reduce eye elongation. Regular monitoring tracks effectiveness while minimizing future high-myopia complications like retinal detachment through early intervention strategies.
Pediatric Vision Care
Comprehensive assessments for infants and children detect developmental vision issues. The AOA InfantSee program provides early screening for amblyopia risk factors. Regular monitoring ensures proper visual development and addresses learning-related vision problems through corrective lenses or vision therapy.
Surgical Co-Management
Pre- and post-operative care for cataract and refractive surgeries including LASIK. We coordinate with regional surgical centers for preoperative evaluations and manage postoperative recovery. Monthly local cataract surgery clinics include comprehensive follow-up care at our office for patient convenience.
Fittings and Repair
Custom eyewear fittings with 500+ frame selections and premium lens options. We offer 1-year warranties on frames and specialty coatings. In-house repair services include adjustments, lens replacements, and frame straightening with expert optician consultations for optimal fit and visual performance.

Had they informed me they do not take my insurance before hand I would have been able to go somewhere else. It was not until I had to make an appointment to pick out glasses that I was informed of this. Thus I ended up paying FULL PRICE on an exam my insurance would have fully taken care of.
