Services
Eye Exams
Our comprehensive eye exams use advanced technology to assess vision health and detect early signs of eye disease. We evaluate refractive errors, eye coordination, and overall ocular health for patients of all ages. Regular exams help maintain optimal vision and identify conditions like glaucoma or macular degeneration before they progress.
Contact Lenses
We offer custom contact lens fittings for standard and specialty lenses, including toric lenses for astigmatism and gas permeable lenses for keratoconus. Our optometrists ensure proper fit and comfort while considering lifestyle needs and vision correction requirements for clear, healthy vision.
Glaucoma Treatment
Our glaucoma management includes early detection through intraocular pressure testing and optic nerve evaluation. We provide ongoing treatment plans to control eye pressure and prevent vision loss using medicated drops, laser therapy, or surgical referrals when necessary for long-term eye health.
Diabetic Eye Care
We specialize in diabetic retinopathy screening and management, monitoring for retinal changes caused by diabetes. Our comprehensive exams track vascular health in the eyes and coordinate care with primary physicians to preserve vision and prevent complications from diabetes-related eye disease.
Designer Eyewear
Our optical shop offers a wide selection of designer frames and high-quality lenses tailored to individual prescriptions. Our staff helps patients choose stylish, durable eyewear that complements facial features while providing optimal vision correction and UV protection for everyday comfort.

Everyone was so nice and professional at Palmetto Eye yesterday. It was my first visit after recently moving to Rock Hill. Dr. Melissa Wood was wonderful. She spent a good amount of time with me answering all my questions and explaining all the results of my check up. I am very happy to have found this place!
