Services
Comprehensive Eye Exams
Our comprehensive eye exams evaluate vision quality and eye health using advanced diagnostic technology. We perform digital refraction tests with Clarifye systems to detect refractive errors and specialized imaging to identify early signs of eye diseases like glaucoma and macular degeneration. The exams include intraocular pressure testing, retinal scans, and personalized vision correction recommendations for patients of all ages.
Specialty Contact Lenses
We offer customized contact lens solutions for complex vision needs including keratoconus and dry eye syndrome. Our inventory includes scleral lenses, rigid gas permeable lenses, and specialty soft lenses that provide superior comfort and visual clarity. Patients receive trial lenses during fittings to ensure optimal comfort and performance before final prescriptions are determined.
Dry Eye Treatment
Our dry eye management combines advanced diagnostics with personalized treatment plans. We utilize LipiFlow thermal pulsation therapy for meibomian gland dysfunction and prescribe autologous serum drops for severe cases. Treatment options include punctal plugs, prescription medications, and customized artificial tear regimens tailored to each patient's specific tear composition and lifestyle factors.
Cataract Evaluations
We provide comprehensive cataract assessments and pre/post-operative care using advanced imaging technology. Our doctors monitor progression through regular evaluations of lens opacity and visual function. We educate patients on preventive measures while preparing personalized surgical plans when needed, coordinating with leading ophthalmologists for optimal outcomes.
LASIK Consultations
Our LASIK evaluations use wavefront technology to map corneal topography and measure refractive errors. We assess candidacy through detailed eye health examinations and discuss customized vision correction options including traditional LASIK, PRK, and implantable collamer lenses for patients seeking reduced dependence on glasses or contact lenses.

Dr. Clearly is one of the best doctors I have ever seen! She is ever so sweet and very patience with all of my questions and concerns about my eyes and their health. The computer technician, Zach, was also very knowledgeable about the contacts I ordered and was able to assist me with my financial questions and invited me to come back if I ever more problems. An extremely nice visitnothing to fear at all!

Dr. Julie Cleary is always very kind and professional. I was able to walk right in when I arrived for my appointment and as usual, the staff and Dr. Cleary were efficient. My exam was completed in a short time and I was on my way with my new prescription in hand. I highly recommend!

Visit went quickly with no long wait. Dr Clearly is the best. She is excellent at explaining what is going on with my eyes. She also listens and really works to correct any issues I am having.

Report
I'm an older person with some eye issues and the doctor took her time to explain everything. She made sure I felt comfortable with everything she told me before I left. I like the feeling when you know you have the doctors full attention and they are not trying to hurry things up. I feel there full attention every time.
