Services
Annual Eye Exams
Our comprehensive annual eye exams use advanced diagnostic technology to assess vision health and detect early signs of eye disease. We evaluate visual acuity, eye coordination, and intraocular pressure while examining the retina and optic nerve for abnormalities. These exams are crucial for maintaining optimal vision and identifying conditions like glaucoma, cataracts, and macular degeneration before symptoms appear. Our doctors recommend yearly exams for all patients to ensure early intervention when needed.
Contact Lenses
We specialize in contact lens fittings for all vision needs, including hard-to-fit cases like keratoconus. Our services include soft, toric, disposable, rigid gas permeable, and multifocal lenses. We offer hybrid contact lenses for irregular corneas and provide same-day dispensing for many prescriptions. Our experienced staff ensures proper lens selection and fitting for maximum comfort and visual clarity while maintaining eye health through regular follow-up evaluations.
Dry Eye Treatment
Our dry eye management program addresses chronic dry eye syndrome through comprehensive diagnosis and personalized treatment plans. We utilize advanced diagnostic tools to determine the underlying causes of dry eye symptoms and offer specialized treatments including prescription medications, punctal plugs, and lid hygiene protocols. Our approach focuses on restoring tear film balance and reducing inflammation to improve long-term eye comfort and visual quality.
Pediatric Eye Care
We provide comprehensive pediatric eye examinations to detect vision problems that can affect learning and development. Our services include infant eye exams through the InfantSEE program and specialized evaluations for school-aged children. We diagnose and manage conditions like amblyopia, strabismus, and visual processing disorders while offering protective eyewear solutions for sports vision needs.
Macular Degeneration
Our age-related macular degeneration (AMD) screening and management program utilizes advanced diagnostic technology for early detection. We offer nutritional counseling, protective eyewear solutions, and monitoring protocols for patients with early-stage AMD. Our doctors provide education about risk factors and implement preventive strategies to slow disease progression while maintaining optimal visual function.

Figure your insurance out before hand. I had an appointment for weeks and get there and they told me that my other doctor has to release my insurance and they cant see me. Then got an attitude when i asked why no one said anything weeks ago. Even though they already asked for my social weeks ago. Do yourself a favor and go to germantown. The receptionist is absolute trash.

I cannot say enough about this eye clinic. I had a yellow spot in my right eye that was impairing my vision. I was not a regular patient, but they made a same day appointment and took care of me. I ended up having a macular tear and surgery is scheduled. Thank goodness for their kindness and compassion. This will be our eye clinic for future needs.

Thank you so much for fixing the broken nose pad on my glasses. Not only did you fix the one, you changed the other out as well. Your outstanding customer service is deeply appreciated from a truck driver away home.
