Comprehensive Eye Exams
Our comprehensive eye exams include vision acuity testing, eye performance evaluation, and detailed eye health assessments. Using advanced diagnostic tools like optical coherence tomography and digital retinal imaging, we detect vision problems and eye diseases. The exams cover depth perception, peripheral vision, and intraocular pressure measurement for glaucoma screening.
Contact Lens Fittings
We specialize in contact lens fittings for all eye types, including hard-to-fit conditions. Our optometrists perform detailed corneal measurements and offer various lens options like toric, scleral, and multifocal lenses. We provide trial lenses and follow-up evaluations to ensure optimal comfort and vision correction for both soft and rigid gas permeable lenses.
LASIK Surgery
We offer LASIK surgery consultations and post-operative care. Our pre-operative assessments determine candidacy through comprehensive eye exams and medical history reviews. We coordinate with surgeons and provide follow-up care including protective eye covers, medicated drops, and healing monitoring for patients seeking vision correction without glasses or contacts.
Emergency Eye Care
Our emergency eye care services address sudden vision changes, eye trauma, and foreign objects. We provide immediate evaluation for conditions like detached retinas, chemical burns, and acute glaucoma attacks. Patients receive urgent care instructions and, when necessary, referrals to emergency rooms after hours for critical eye injuries.
Pediatric Eye Exams
We conduct specialized eye exams for children focusing on vision development and early detection of eye conditions. Our exams assess eye coordination, focusing ability, and visual acuity. We monitor for common childhood issues like amblyopia and provide guidance for parents on maintaining children's eye health through regular check-ups.

Nothing but the best service from Dr Mills and his staff. Been getting my eyes checked for a number of years here now. I highly recommend them.

The doctor is great. The lady behind the desk is rude. I want to leave this practice NOT because of the doctor but the staff that is unwilling to help and tell you the cost.
Dr. Mills should ask his patients how they can improve, Im sure he will get a feedback that will be in his own benefit. The staff is not worth losing your patients in my opinion.

I was pushed into trying progressive glassed. The tech told me not to worry. It i didn't lime them or couldn't wear them the would make nnew lenses for me. What she failed to tell me was that if i couldn't see with them they would replace them with single vision lenses at the same price as the pergressive. So i paid 800 plus for reading glasses. Not happy

Very thorough exam. Nice, helpful staff. The doctor takes his time and explains things very well. I was impressed. I ordered a new pair of glasses, new lenses for old frames I had, and I'm also trying contact lenses for the first time. They offered me a trial pair of contacts lenses to see if I'm going to like them before I decide to invest in contacts.

Great experience. The staff and the doctor were wonderful. The person that helped me pick out my glasses gave great advice on what would look best for my face. Have not gotten the glasses back but very excited to see better.

I saw Dr. Christopher Mills and he has literally been the most thorough eye doctor I have ever seen. He had my prescription spot on and really took the time to make sure I could tell the difference during the lenses portion of the exam. Very friendly and knows his stuff! I would recommend him to anyone, especially those who have had a bad experience with other prescriptions in the past from other doctors.
