Services
Comprehensive Eye Exams
Our thorough eye examinations assess visual acuity, eye health, and systemic disease indicators through retinal imaging. Using advanced OCT technology, we detect early signs of diabetes, hypertension, and macular degeneration while updating prescriptions for glasses or contact lenses. Patients receive detailed explanations of their eye health status and personalized care recommendations.
Glaucoma Management
We specialize in diagnosing and managing glaucoma using the Humphrey Vision Analyzer and OCT imaging to monitor optic nerve changes. Treatment plans may include medicated eye drops or referrals to specialists. Regular follow-ups track disease progression and adjust interventions to preserve vision while educating patients about risk factors and lifestyle modifications.
Retinal Imaging
Our Optos Retinal Scanner captures 200-degree ultra-widefield images of the retina in one shot, surpassing conventional imaging limitations. This technology enables early detection of retinal detachments, diabetic retinopathy, and age-related macular degeneration. Digital records allow precise tracking of changes over time, facilitating timely interventions and specialist referrals when necessary.
Contact Lens Fitting
We provide customized contact lens fittings for various vision needs, including astigmatism and presbyopia. The process involves corneal topography mapping and trial lens assessments to ensure optimal comfort and vision correction. Patients receive training on proper insertion, removal, and care techniques while selecting from a wide range of premium lens materials.
Emergency Eye Care
Our clinic addresses sudden vision changes, eye injuries, infections, and foreign body removal with same-day appointments. Doctors utilize specialized equipment to diagnose corneal abrasions, chemical burns, and acute glaucoma attacks. Emergency treatments may include antibiotic ointments, protective shields, or immediate referrals to ophthalmologists for surgical cases.
