Services
Comprehensive Eye Exam
A comprehensive eye exam is crucial for detecting eye conditions like glaucoma and macular degeneration, often before symptoms arise. It also assesses overall eye health and can reveal systemic issues, such as diabetes or hypertension. Regular exams are key to maintaining good vision and preventing vision loss.
Contact Lens Exam
and Fittings
An eye care professional evaluates your eye shape and prescription to find the best lenses for you. This personalized fitting helps ensure a comfortable experience and optimal visual clarity. Regular check-ups are recommended to maintain the right fit over time.
Diabetic Eye Exam
Annual diabetic eye exams are vital for early detection of diabetic retinopathy, which can lead to vision loss. Regular screenings help identify retinal changes, allowing for timely treatment and reducing the risk of severe vision impairment. They also monitor overall eye health, making them essential in diabetes management.
Children's Eye Exam
Children's eye exams are essential for detecting vision problems early, which can impact learning and development. Regular screenings help identify issues like nearsightedness, farsightedness, and amblyopia (lazy eye). Early detection allows for timely treatment, ensuring that children can see well and succeed in school and daily activities.
We offer a range of eye care services to meet your vision needs. From comprehensive eye exams to specialized treatments, our doctors ensure your eyes receive the best care possible.
As we do not accept insurance plans, our focus remains solely on delivering exceptional care to our patients. Our primary goal is to make scheduling appointments convenient and hassle-free by offering online booking services.
