Services
Comprehensive Eye Exams
Our thorough eye exams analyze vision health and detect conditions like glaucoma, cataracts, and macular degeneration. Using advanced technology, we assess eye function, prescribe corrective lenses, and provide early disease detection. Patients receive detailed explanations of results and personalized care plans tailored to their needs.
Glaucoma Testing
We offer specialized glaucoma screening to measure intraocular pressure and evaluate optic nerve health. Early detection through tonometry and visual field testing helps prevent vision loss. Our team develops customized treatment plans, including medication or surgical referrals, to manage the condition effectively.
Contact Lens Fitting
Our optometrists provide precise contact lens fittings for standard and hard-to-fit prescriptions. We offer trials for rigid gas-permeable, toric, and multifocal lenses, ensuring optimal comfort and vision correction. Follow-up assessments guarantee lenses meet individual eye health and lifestyle requirements.
Retinal Imaging
Using OCT Angio technology, we capture detailed retinal images to diagnose conditions like diabetic retinopathy and macular edema. This non-invasive imaging allows early intervention and monitoring of retinal health, improving long-term outcomes for patients with chronic eye diseases.
Dry Eye Management
We diagnose and treat dry eye syndrome through advanced assessments of tear production and ocular surface health. Treatment options include medicated drops, punctal occlusion, and lifestyle adjustments. Our personalized approach alleviates discomfort and restores ocular hydration for improved quality of life.

I just had my eye exams with Dr. Wight for new glasses and contacts. He showed me my results and issues on the screens and explained everything to me in detail step by step. That's a first for me! He is very thorough and did not rush me through. His staff is the best. You're not just another patient. They make you feel comfortable and are so helpful. I found my eye care place!

While the technology and the facility was clean and updated the wait was a different story. All I ask is you respect my time. If you have appointments and you are running 1 1/2 hours behind you should let your customers know. That is only 6 to 8 calls/texts. Im sure if I came in 1 1/2 hours after my appointment time you reschedule me. Why would you treat the customer with at least that same respect. Probably will find another eye doctor.

We are new patients at Write Eye Care. The office staff especially Theresa treated us nice and professionally. Dr. Wright took extra time to get to know me and not only that but took this time to explained to me my exam procedure. He really values me as his patient and customer. He made my appointment stress free and may wife and I care happy we found a home.

From the very first phone call through the actual appointment, I am humbled and so appreciative of the staff and Dr Wight. Everyone was very informative, kind, knowledgeable, and helpful to make sure I was well taken care of. I am looking forward to my new glasses! I haven't ever been able to say that!
