Services
Comprehensive Eye Exams
Our thorough eye exams use advanced technology to assess vision and eye health. We detect refractive errors, monitor ocular development in children, and identify early signs of diseases like glaucoma. Patients receive detailed explanations of their results and personalized recommendations for corrective solutions.
Vision Therapy
Customized vision therapy programs improve visual efficiency and address developmental issues. We treat conditions like amblyopia and convergence insufficiency through targeted exercises that enhance eye coordination and focus, particularly benefiting children and athletes.
Eye Disease Management
We diagnose and manage ocular diseases including diabetic retinopathy, macular degeneration, and glaucoma. Our approach combines regular monitoring with interventions to slow disease progression and preserve vision for patients with chronic conditions.
Specialty Contact Lenses
Our optometrists fit specialty contact lenses for complex prescriptions and eye conditions. This includes scleral lenses for keratoconus and multifocal contacts for presbyopia, ensuring comfort and clear vision for patients who struggle with standard lenses.
Pediatric Eye Care
We provide child-friendly eye exams to monitor visual development and correct refractive errors early. Our pediatric services include treatment for lazy eye and strabismus, with a focus on making eye care a positive experience for young patients.

Report
Friendly staff and prompt appointments make my visit to this office very pleasant. The competency and thoroughness of Dr. Grasso's exams makes me very secure with the information he has given me. I have had a cornea transplant and I trust Dr. Grasso's evaluations and honesty.
