Services
Ortho-K
Orthokeratology uses custom gas-permeable lenses worn overnight to temporarily reshape the cornea, providing clear daytime vision without glasses or contacts. This non-surgical solution effectively manages myopia progression in children and adults. Our FDA-approved treatment includes comprehensive fitting and follow-up care to ensure optimal results.
Myopia Management
Our evidence-based programs slow childhood myopia progression through specialized contact lenses, atropine therapy, and lifestyle guidance. Early intervention reduces risks of severe eye conditions like retinal detachment and glaucoma. We tailor treatment plans to each child's visual needs and family preferences.
Comprehensive Eye Exams
Full-spectrum eye health assessments using advanced diagnostic technology detect vision changes and ocular diseases. Our exams include refraction testing, intraocular pressure measurement, and retinal imaging. We provide personalized recommendations for corrective lenses and preventive care strategies.
Pediatric Eye Care
Specialized evaluations for infants through teens ensure proper visual development critical for learning. We diagnose and treat amblyopia, strabismus, and focusing disorders. Our child-friendly approach creates comfortable experiences while addressing parents' vision concerns.
Dry Eye Treatment
Customized treatment plans address chronic dry eye symptoms through advanced diagnostics and targeted therapies. We offer prescription medications, lid hygiene protocols, and environmental recommendations to improve tear quality and ocular surface health.

They are always so great! Dr Gurdak is not only professional and a great doctor, but he is also a genuinely nice person. Ariana and the rest of the staff are super accommodating and great as well. I feel at home there. My 7-year old, my husband, and I are all patients. Best eye doctor for the whole family!

Dr Gurdak is, hands down, the best eye doctor Ive ever been to. He genuinely wants to find the best option for you and takes his time in doing so. The staff is also extremely helpful and welcoming, which makes the experience that much better.

I recently saw Dr. Anthony Gurdak for a routine eye exam. The wait time was short, the service and attention to detail were amazing. The staff is very welcoming and professional specially Adrianna who assisted me upon arrival and in ordering a new pair of prescription glasses that were ready in less than a week. I highly recommend this practice for any of your vision needs.
