Comprehensive Eye Exams
Our detailed eye examinations assess both vision quality and overall eye health. Using advanced diagnostic equipment, we check visual acuity, screen for common eye diseases, and evaluate how well your eyes work together. These exams are essential for early detection of conditions like glaucoma and macular degeneration. Our doctors explain all findings in clear terms and develop personalized treatment plans based on individual needs.
Contact Lens Fittings
We provide precise contact lens fittings using modern diagnostic tools. Our optometrists determine optimal lens parameters while considering eye health and lifestyle needs. The process includes trial lenses and follow-up evaluations to ensure proper fit and comfort. We offer solutions for standard prescriptions as well as specialized needs like astigmatism and multifocal requirements.
Pediatric Vision Care
Our child-friendly exams assess visual development and detect potential learning-related vision problems. We use age-appropriate techniques to evaluate eye health, focusing ability, and binocular vision skills. Early detection of issues like amblyopia or strabismus allows timely intervention. Our doctors create comfortable experiences that establish positive lifelong eye care habits for young patients.
Retinal Imaging
We utilize optomap technology for wide-field retinal imaging that captures over 80% of the retina in a single scan. This non-invasive procedure helps detect early signs of eye diseases like diabetic retinopathy and age-related macular degeneration. The digital images create a permanent health record that allows precise monitoring of retinal changes over time during subsequent examinations.
Ocular Disease Management
Our practice specializes in diagnosing and managing common eye diseases including glaucoma, cataracts, and macular degeneration. We employ advanced diagnostic tools for early detection and implement evidence-based treatment plans. Regular monitoring combined with personalized care strategies helps preserve vision and slow disease progression while maintaining patients' quality of life.

I had a great visit! Well except the extremely rude guy at the front desk with the long beard and bald head- don't know his name. Not welcoming at all and gave me a lecture about being late to appointments even though i literally walked it at 8:01 for a 8:00 appointment... i'm an adult, i know how to manage time. Not a good first impression but otherwise they had a clean environment and friendly doctors! I definitely suggest! just ignore the front desk guy :)

The staff is very professional and friendly! Drew of course is our favorite, Dr. Lisa may just give her a run for her money! She was very kind and patient with my three boys. She did a wonderful job explaining… our options and giving us a realistic perspective. All the testing and exams were very thorough and well done. This is our second time with Dunlap Vision and we will definitely be back next year!
