Comprehensive eye exams are key for maintaining eye health and sharp vision. Our vision exams go beyond simple vision tests to evaluate your overall eye health, checking for refractive errors like myopia, hyperopia, and astigmatism, as well as early signs of serious conditions such as glaucoma and macular degeneration.

Key components of the exam include:

• Visual acuity tests to measure clear vision
• Refraction assessments for precise eyeglass/contact lens prescriptions
• Eye muscle tests
• Pupil response tests
• Peripheral vision assessments
• Eye pressure measurements to detect glaucoma
• Detailed exams of the front and back of the eye to inspect the retina and optic nerve closely

In addition to the comprehensive eye exams outlined above, our clinic also offers the following specialized services:

• LASIK Co-Management: We work closely with the surgeon before and after your procedure, offering pre-surgical advice, post-operative care, and follow-up exams to monitor your recovery and vision improvement.
• Cataract Co-Management: Similar to our LASIK service, cataract co-management pre-surgical assessments to evaluate the health of your eyes and determine the best approach for cataract removal. After surgery, we provide post-operative care, including monitoring your eye's healing process and adjusting your vision correction as needed.

Our practice employs the latest advancements in optical technology to ensure accurate diagnoses and effective treatments for a variety of eye conditions. This includes state-of-the-art imaging and diagnostic tools that enable precision care for our patients.

Dry eye syndrome is a common eye condition that is caused by the eyes producing low-quality or an insufficient amount of tears. It can negatively impact an individual's life, leading to symptoms such as irritation, redness, discomfort, and blurred vision. We offer a variety of treatments for dry eye, such as the innovative OptiLight by Lumenis, an FDA-approved light therapy designed to alleviate dry eye symptoms. It works by targeting the meimobian glands which produce the oil layer of tears. This improves tear quality and reduces discomfort. 

Our practice is equipped to handle eye emergencies, providing immediate care for injuries, infections, and sudden vision changes. We prioritize urgent cases to ensure rapid treatment and minimize the risk of long-term damage.

We offer focused glaucoma testing to detect early signs of the disease, using advanced diagnostic equipment. Early detection is crucial for managing glaucoma and protecting your vision from this potentially sight-threatening condition.

We provide comprehensive co-management services for LASIK and other refractive surgeries, guiding you through the entire process from pre-surgery evaluation to post-operative care. Our experts ensure you receive the best possible outcome for your vision correction needs.

Myopia, or nearsightedness, is a prevalent vision problem that is caused by the eyeball being too long relative to the focusing power of the cornea and lens of the eye. This results in blurry distance vision which worsens over time, potentially leading to serious eye conditions in the future, such as retinal detachment and glaucoma. 

To manage the progression of myopia, we offer a variety of treatment techniques, like low-dose atropine eye drops which relax the eye's focusing system, and multifocal eyeglasses and contact lenses. We'll also guide lifestyle adjustments to optimize vision health and prevent future complications associated with high myopia. 

Pediatric eye exams are specially designed to evaluate and protect the visual health of our younger patients. We create a comfortable and engaging environment for children, ensuring accurate assessments and the early detection of any vision problems.

We offer expert diagnosis and treatment options for presbyopia, a common age-related vision condition that affects near vision. Our treatments include prescription lenses and other corrective options tailored to your unique needs.

Specialty contact lenses are designed for people with unique eye conditions, enhancing vision where standard lenses might not suffice. We offer a variety of specialty lenses for people with varying hard-to-fit conditions, such as:

• Scleral lenses that cover the entire cornea and are ideal for those with irregular corneas or severe dry eyes, creating a moisture-rich environment for comfort.
• Rigid gas-permeable (RGP) lenses, hybrid lenses, and specific scleral lenses for keratoconus, a condition that causes corneal thinning and bulging.
• Toric lenses designed for astigmatism correction, featuring different powers across the lens to address the eye's irregular curvature.
