Services
Comprehensive Eye Exams
Thorough evaluations for adults, seniors, and children assess vision, detect early signs of eye conditions, and ensure long-term eye health. Our exams include preliminary tests, eye health evaluations, refraction testing, and visual acuity assessments. We use advanced diagnostic technology to identify issues like glaucoma, diabetic retinopathy, and macular degeneration at their earliest stages. Our optometrists tailor exams to individual needs, considering medical history, lifestyle, and specific vision concerns. Regular comprehensive exams help maintain optimal eye health and prevent vision loss through early intervention.
Dry Eye Therapy
Advanced treatments for chronic dry eye include IPL, RF, LipiFlow, Low-Level Light Therapy, and OptiLight by Lumenis. Our approach combines diagnostic testing to identify root causes with targeted therapies to restore natural tear production. We address oil gland dysfunction, tear film imbalances, and inflammation through non-invasive procedures. Personalized treatment plans may include professional-grade supplements, specialized eye drops, and lifestyle modifications. Our goal is to provide lasting comfort and improve tear quality through scientific, measured approaches.
NeuroVisual Medicine
Specialized care for Binocular Vision Dysfunction (BVD) using microprism lenses and vision therapy. Our advanced diagnostic tools identify subtle eye misalignments causing headaches, dizziness, and reading difficulties. Custom microprism prescriptions help the brain process visual information correctly, reducing symptoms. We combine precise lens fittings with targeted vision therapy exercises to improve coordination and visual comfort. This treatment benefits patients with chronic symptoms from traumatic brain injuries, migraines, or undiagnosed visual misalignments.
Glaucoma Treatment
Early detection and management of glaucoma through comprehensive testing, including pressure measurements, optic nerve imaging, and visual field mapping. We create personalized treatment plans using pressure-lowering eye drops, laser therapy, or minimally invasive surgical options. Our advanced diagnostic tools track subtle changes in eye health to prevent vision loss. Regular monitoring ensures treatment effectiveness while adapting to disease progression. Our specialists manage all glaucoma types, from common open-angle to acute angle-closure cases.
Pediatric Eye Exams
Comprehensive exams for children from infancy through adolescence ensure proper visual development and academic performance. We follow recommended exam schedules at 6-12 months, age 3, before school, and annually thereafter. Our team identifies vision problems affecting learning, coordination, and social interaction. We address common issues like amblyopia, strabismus, and focusing difficulties through glasses, vision therapy, or specialized treatments. Early intervention helps prevent long-term vision complications and supports healthy visual development.

She is wonderful with a beautiful, calming voice, kind and gentle spirit, and is very patient when answering all my questions. I never feel rushed. I truly have enjoyed every visit in that office!

Absolutely phenomenal staff and employees at Clear Lake Eye Center! The staff is super nice and friendly, and on more than one occasion they have exceeded my expectations to meet my needs. When I needed an emergency pair of contact lenses they got on it and went beyond my hopes to make sure I got them within 48 hours, just in time for my sons wedding. This is probably not their normal time frame to get products delivered , but this is testimony of their commitment to meet their customers needs.

Where do I begin, I have been a patient of Dr Brending for a few years now and I am so thankful to have been referred to her. Although I live 45 minutes away, I gladly make the trip for such exceptional service. I have seen many eye specialists in my 50 plus years, and pray I never have to seek help anywhere else. The entire office staff are well educated and display professionalism while showing they care. In my many calls to the office, the receptionists have shown to be attentive and ready to see my needs taken care of. Never once have I felt they were too busy for me, even though I know this
