Services
Comprehensive Eye Exams
Our thorough eye examinations assess visual acuity, eye health, and potential systemic health indicators. Using advanced diagnostic equipment, we detect early signs of ocular diseases and systemic conditions like diabetes. The exam includes digital retinal imaging and visual field testing to ensure complete assessment of your eye health.
Contact Lens Fittings
We provide specialized contact lens fittings for various vision correction needs including astigmatism and presbyopia. Our optometrist conducts detailed corneal mapping to ensure optimal lens fit and comfort. We offer trial lenses and follow-up evaluations to guarantee proper adaptation to contact lens wear.
Refractive Surgery Consultation
Our pre-operative evaluations determine candidacy for LASIK and other vision correction surgeries. We analyze corneal thickness, pupil size, and overall eye health to recommend appropriate surgical options. Post-operative care includes monitoring healing progress and managing any complications.
Eye Disease Treatment
We diagnose and manage common eye diseases including glaucoma, cataracts, and macular degeneration. Treatment plans may include medicated eye drops, lifestyle modifications, or specialist referrals. Regular monitoring ensures timely intervention for progressive conditions.
Emergency Eye Care
Our practice offers same-day appointments for ocular emergencies like foreign body removal, chemical exposure, and sudden vision changes. We have specialized equipment for corneal abrasion treatment and acute glaucoma management. Emergency care includes follow-up evaluations to ensure complete recovery.
