Our detailed eye exams assess visual acuity, eye pressure, and overall ocular health using advanced diagnostic technology. We detect early signs of conditions like glaucoma and macular degeneration while evaluating binocular vision function. Patients receive personalized recommendations for corrective lenses and eye health maintenance.
Vision Therapy
This specialized program improves eye coordination, focusing abilities, and visual processing through customized exercises. Ideal for children with learning-related vision issues and adults seeking enhanced visual performance. Our certified therapists guide patients through progressive treatment phases.
Myopia Control
We offer evidence-based treatments to slow myopia progression in children and adults. Our approach combines specialty contact lenses, orthokeratology, and lifestyle recommendations to preserve visual acuity and reduce future eye health risks through proactive management.
Dry Eye Treatment
Our clinic provides advanced diagnostics and personalized treatment plans for chronic dry eye conditions. Utilizing IPL therapy and amniotic membrane treatments, we address underlying causes while offering relief through customized lubrication regimens and environmental modifications.

I agree with another reviewer. Best eye care available. I recently moved to an island near Seattle, and because of convenience tried to get nearby care. Not worth it. Boarding a ferry and heading back intown!

Dr Andrews was amazing. I had my first visit this week and I have recommended her to a bunch of my friends and family already. She was very knowledgeable and friendly and made me feel very comfortable. I have not had a visit to a doctor like this in a long time. I would definitely recommend!!

Dr. Andrews is always courteous, kind, and caring. Her exams are very though and she takes the time to explain in depth anything if you ask. I also appreciate the lack of pressure to purchase eyeglasses or contacts during the appointment. Some practices I've historically used push those products on you to extract as much as they can from your and your insurance. Urban Eye Care is a gem in the heart of Seattle, from walking in the door to walking out, it's always a pleasurable experience.

I was recommended to Dr. Andrews. She exceeded my expectations. The past two eye doctors that I've seen both gave me bad prescriptions. Dr. Andrews gave me the perfect prescription. I was so happy, that I referred other friends and my mother. They all had nothing but good things to say. I would recommend Dr. Andrews 100%
