Comprehensive Eye Exams
Our thorough eye exams assess visual acuity, ocular health, and systemic conditions affecting vision. Using advanced diagnostic tools, we detect early signs of glaucoma, cataracts, and retinal diseases. The exam includes refraction testing for corrective lenses and evaluates eye coordination and focusing ability. Patients receive detailed explanations of their results and personalized treatment recommendations.
Contact Lens Fittings
We specialize in custom contact lens fittings for various vision needs, including astigmatism and presbyopia. Our process includes corneal topography and tear film evaluation to ensure optimal lens comfort. We offer daily disposables, extended wear, and specialty lenses like scleral designs. Patients receive training on proper insertion, removal, and care techniques during follow-up appointments.
Dry Eye Treatment
Our dry eye management combines advanced diagnostics with personalized treatment plans. Options include LipiFlow thermal therapy for meibomian gland dysfunction, prescription eye drops, and punctal plugs. We recommend lifestyle modifications and artificial tear regimens tailored to individual tear composition. Regular follow-ups monitor progress and adjust therapies as needed.
Glaucoma Testing
We use tonometry, visual field testing, and OCT imaging to detect glaucoma at its earliest stages. Our screening evaluates optic nerve health and fluid pressure dynamics. Patients with elevated risk receive personalized monitoring schedules and education about disease progression. Treatment options include medicated drops and coordination with ophthalmologists for surgical interventions.
Cataract Management
Our cataract care includes preoperative evaluations and postoperative co-management. We monitor progression through regular slit-lamp exams and discuss lifestyle modifications to delay surgery. Patients receive education about surgical options, intraocular lens choices, and expected outcomes. We coordinate with surgeons for premium IOL consultations and follow-up care.

Had to walk in this morning as my glasses broke yesterday evening. The office while busy took me in and replaced the broken screw . They also adjusted the glasses for me as well as doing a thorough cleaning. They charged a modest fee. I was in and out in 30 minutes. Thank you.

My niece had sand stuck in her eye and Nina fit us in to see Dr. Pham even though he was running on a tight schedule. He couldn't have been kinder, and easily took care of the problem, explaining fully & clearly what he was doing. Terrific business!

On Sanibel Island on vacation and our son informs us that he failed to bring extra daily contacts with him. Sanibel Eyecare to the rescue! A quick call to our home optometrist and Nina and Storm hooked us up right away. Thanks a million!!

Dr Pham was kind enough to see me today, perform a complete eye exam and prescribe medication all without a scheduled appointment. Everyone in the office was very professional. Highly recommended.

Dr. Pham and his staff are wonderful! I have been seeing Dr. Pham for many years and would trust my eyesight to no one else. He is very thorough and takes his time with his exam. He always answers questions and never makes you feel rushed. His optician is a sweetheart and works with you on getting frames that make you look great! His front desk girl has been with him since his days at Costco and she is funny and very accommodating! Don't think twice about making an appointment with this office you will absolutely love it! The drive is nice also. I live in Cape Coral and drive out to the island
