Dry Eye Treatment
Our specialized dry eye clinic offers advanced treatments like Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) and Radiofrequency (RF) therapy to address root causes of chronic dry eye. These noninvasive procedures target inflammation and gland dysfunction, providing lasting relief for patients struggling with discomfort and vision fluctuations. Our optometrists create personalized treatment plans combining in-office therapies with at-home care strategies.
Vision Therapy
This evidence-based program improves visual skills through customized exercises and specialized tools. We treat conditions like strabismus, amblyopia, and learning-related vision problems by enhancing eye-brain coordination. Our vision therapists work with patients recovering from brain injuries to restore binocular vision and functional visual processing through structured, progressive treatment plans.
Comprehensive Eye Exams
We conduct thorough eye health assessments for all ages using advanced diagnostic technology. Exams include functional vision testing, ocular disease screening, and personalized recommendations for corrective lenses. Our optometrists monitor progressive conditions like macular degeneration and diabetic retinopathy while providing preventive care education tailored to each patient's lifestyle and visual demands.
Myopia Management
Our specialized program addresses progressive nearsightedness in children using evidence-based interventions. We offer MiSight contact lenses and MiyoSmart glasses to slow myopia progression, combined with regular monitoring and lifestyle guidance. This proactive approach helps reduce long-term risks of high myopia while maintaining clear vision during critical developmental years.
Contact Lens Fitting
We provide customized contact lens solutions for various vision needs, including specialty lenses for astigmatism and presbyopia. Our optometrists ensure proper fit through advanced corneal mapping technology and offer comprehensive training for new wearers. The service includes follow-up evaluations to maintain ocular health and optimize comfort for daily, weekly, or monthly lens users.
