Services
Eye Exams
Our comprehensive eye exams utilize advanced diagnostic technology to assess visual acuity and detect ocular diseases. We evaluate eye health, prescription needs, and systemic health indicators through the retina. Patients receive detailed explanations of their eye health status and personalized care recommendations.
Eye Disease Management
We specialize in managing conditions like glaucoma, macular degeneration, and diabetic retinopathy. Our approach combines regular monitoring with personalized treatment plans to preserve vision. Early detection through advanced imaging helps prevent disease progression and maintain ocular health.
Optomap Imaging
This panoramic retinal imaging captures 80% of the retina in one image, enabling early disease detection. The non-invasive scan helps identify issues like retinal tears, AMD, and systemic conditions. It provides a permanent health record for tracking changes over time without routine dilation.
Contact Lens Exams
Our specialized exams determine optimal contact lens prescriptions and wearing schedules. We offer fittings for daily, weekly, monthly, and specialty lenses including multifocal and rigid gas permeable options. Patients receive comprehensive guidance on proper lens care and usage.
LASIK Consultation
We provide pre-operative evaluations and post-operative care for LASIK patients. Our consultations assess candidacy through corneal mapping and vision history analysis. Patients receive detailed information about procedure benefits, risks, and expected outcomes for vision correction.

I went in as a new patient with a somewhat concerning eye issue. I was able to get an appointment within 3 days of when I called and when I was seen I had an excellent experience. Very courteous and polite staff and the Dr. (Julie if I remember correctly) was phenomenal. She explain the possible issues with my eye in great detail. Will definitely be going back in the future.

Got my first ever eye exam today, Julie is amazing. She is very friendly and explains everything in a way that is simple to understand! Other staff was also very professional and informative. Going to be hard to find another doctor when I move from here that is comparable to Julie!
