Services
Comprehensive Eye Exams
Our detailed eye exams assess vision clarity and eye health using advanced diagnostic tools. We check for refractive errors, glaucoma, cataracts, and other conditions while updating prescriptions. Patients receive personalized recommendations for vision correction and ocular health maintenance, with specialized testing available for children and seniors.
Contact Lens Fittings
We offer precise contact lens fittings with trial lenses to ensure comfort and proper vision correction. Our specialists handle complex cases including astigmatism and presbyopia, with access to premium brands like ACUVUE and specialty therapeutic lenses for medical conditions.
Pediatric Eye Care
Our child-friendly exams detect vision problems affecting development and learning. We use age-appropriate testing methods to diagnose conditions like amblyopia and strabismus, offering early intervention through glasses, vision therapy, or specialized treatment programs.
Diabetic Eye Exams
These specialized exams monitor diabetes-related eye changes using dilation and advanced imaging. We detect early signs of retinopathy and macular edema, providing critical monitoring to prevent vision loss while coordinating care with primary healthcare providers.
Ocular Health Assessments
Our comprehensive evaluations use OCT imaging and visual field testing to detect glaucoma, macular degeneration, and other sight-threatening conditions. We provide ongoing monitoring and management plans for chronic eye diseases, ensuring early intervention when needed.

This review is long over due. I have been going to the optometrist clinic for 24 years and have had nothing but the best experiences. More recently however I purchased a new pair of glasses. The staff are super supportive and helpful. They really do go the extra mile to make sure your glasses are the right fit for you. I was even able to return at any time for adjustments if I needed them. The staff are very calm, polite and professional. Dr. Dos is very friendly and excellent with kids and adults alike. I highly recommend this clinic.

The optometrist and the ladies at the desk were super nice and helpful. However the lady helping me with glasses choice left me much to be desired. The frames choice was decently done. However when it came to billing, I explained multiple times that I have my benefits then I have my husbands benefits. Its never been a problem to bill both in the proper order. However she said to me they could only bill one insurance company. So I had to pay out of pocket and submit the rest to my insurance when I would have paid zero.
Suffice to say, I will be looking for another place for my glasses

I overheard one of the head ladies there speaking to her staff quite rudely, I believe her name was Shanda. My overall experience there was alright, the doctors and assistants there were very nice, but I just had a problem with how Shanda is speaking to her staff. As a manager myself, it doesn't sit quite right with me when staff are treated unfairly.

It was my first appointment at this clinic last month. Dr. Evernden saw me that day. I had never met her before. She immediately put me at ease and made the entire appointment not only bearable, but pleasant. She answered all the questions I had and made sure I understood my prescription. At no point did she make me feel rushed or like I was just another patient. The ladies at the reception were also very helpful and kind. Great service all in all!

I have had several pairs of glasses made here and have been uniformly pleased with quality and impressed with service. Had a warranty issue with lenses that was dealt with quickly and professionally with no hassles. Not quite as pricey as higher end places, but not necessarily budget level either. Good quality and excellent service, at a fair price. Highly recommended.
