Services
Comprehensive Eye Exams
Our optometrists perform detailed eye exams to assess vision health and detect diseases. These exams include testing for visual acuity, eye coordination, and retinal health. Early detection of conditions like glaucoma and macular degeneration helps prevent vision loss through timely treatment.
Medical Eye Care
We diagnose and manage ocular diseases such as diabetic retinopathy and dry eye syndrome. Advanced diagnostic tools enable precise monitoring of conditions like cataracts and glaucoma. Treatment plans may include medication, referrals for surgery, or specialized therapies like Tear Care.
Eyeglasses
We offer high-quality prescription eyeglasses and sunglasses from top brands. Our opticians use digital measuring systems for precise lens alignment. Services include selecting frames, lens customization, and adjustments to ensure optimal comfort and vision clarity.
Contact Lens Fitting
Our doctors fit all contact lens types, including toric and multifocal lenses. The process begins with eye health assessments and precise measurements. We provide daily disposables and specialized lenses for patients with astigmatism or presbyopia.
Dry Eye Treatment
We offer Tear Care System treatments for meibomian gland dysfunction. This technology stabilizes the tear film to reduce symptoms like burning and redness. Treatment plans may combine in-office procedures with at-home care recommendations for lasting relief.

Report
My appointment was at 2pm I was on time and took off work. After waiting 15 minutes I asked how much longer as I have another appointment after this. I was told all the exam rooms are full. But another patient came in after me and was taken almost right away. It was obvious this patient was known to the staff so she got preferential treatment. My time is worth the same as their time. Also it takes months to get an appointment so Sussex Eye doesn't need your business

Report
I just went there to have glasses made. The first pair of glasses they made were awful. They didnt fit right so I couldnt even see through the progressive lens. They made a second pair. These were so big they fell off my face. I went back to have them sized but after two days they were falling off my face again. I ended up having to buy another pair of glasses somewhere else. Those glasses were two sizes smaller.
