Services
Eye Exams
Our comprehensive eye exams use advanced digital equipment to assess vision and eye health. The process includes consultation, vision testing with digital mapping, functional testing for depth perception and peripheral vision, and eye health evaluation. Our optometrists diagnose conditions early through detailed examinations that measure eye function and detect diseases like glaucoma and macular degeneration.
OCT Scans
Optical Coherence Tomography scans provide high-resolution cross-sectional images of the retina using light waves. This non-invasive test detects early signs of eye diseases including glaucoma, macular degeneration, and diabetic retinopathy. The 10-minute procedure creates detailed color-coded images that help track changes in retinal structure over time for accurate diagnosis and treatment planning.
Contact Lens Fittings
Our licensed opticians perform precise contact lens fittings using corneal curvature measurements and eye health evaluations. We work with major manufacturers to recommend lenses tailored to individual lifestyles, whether for daily wear, extended use, or specialized vision correction needs. The fitting process ensures optimal comfort and visual clarity while maintaining eye health.
Glaucoma Treatment
We diagnose and manage glaucoma through comprehensive eye exams that measure intraocular pressure and optic nerve health. Our treatment plans may include medicated eye drops, laser therapy, or surgical referrals. Regular monitoring helps prevent vision loss by detecting pressure changes early and implementing appropriate interventions to protect optic nerve function.
Macular Degeneration Care
Our practice provides early detection and ongoing management of macular degeneration using advanced imaging technology. We monitor progression through regular retinal scans and visual acuity tests. Treatment options include nutritional recommendations, low-vision aids, and coordination with specialists for advanced therapies to preserve central vision and maintain quality of life.

I got an eye glasses perscription at this oculus and ordered glasses with that perscription online. The perscription in the glasses did not look clear and sharp, so I took the glasses back to lense crafters this oculus is located in to be checked. The glasses were made correctly according to the perscription I was given, so the perscription may have been wrong. I scheduled a recheck at this oculus, but the morning of the recheck I got a call from the practice owner that they would not do the recheck. The practice owner said I was a problem patient because I had declined the pupil dilation and

The worst, most counterproductive and unprofessional environment I've ever experienced. Took four, absolutely useless appointments to get something as simple as another years supply of contacts that rescheduled what seemed to be 100 times. My eyes have been completely different prescriptions my whole life and have been getting progressively worse. After these four appointments, I ended up with a less powerful prescription... and same for both eyes. Being so frustrated by the forth appointment that I had no contacts I paid for the incorrect prescription just to have contacts. Now I'm stuck
