Comprehensive Eye Exams
Our thorough examinations assess visual acuity, eye health, and systemic conditions affecting vision. Using advanced tools like OCT imaging, we detect early signs of glaucoma, macular degeneration, and diabetic retinopathy. The process includes refraction testing, binocular function analysis, and intraocular pressure measurement to ensure complete ocular health evaluation.
Contact Lens Fittings
We offer customized contact lens solutions for nearsightedness, astigmatism, and presbyopia. Our practice fits specialty lenses including rigid gas permeable and multifocal options. Patients receive detailed instructions for proper lens care and hygiene, with follow-up assessments to ensure optimal comfort and vision correction.
Dry Eye Treatment
Our clinic provides targeted therapies for dry eye disease, including artificial tears, prescription medications, and lifestyle adjustments. We conduct tear film analysis to identify underlying causes and recommend personalized treatment plans to improve ocular comfort and maintain corneal health.
Pediatric Eye Care
We specialize in early detection of vision problems affecting children's learning and development. Services include infant eye exams, myopia progression management, and treatment for amblyopia. Our child-friendly approach uses age-appropriate testing methods to ensure accurate assessments and positive patient experiences.
Eyewear Dispensing
Our optical boutique offers premium frames and lenses tailored to individual prescriptions and lifestyles. Patients receive expert guidance in selecting eyewear that balances aesthetics, durability, and optical performance.

Report
Most impressed is their after sales support. I had problem with a frame after I purchased it for a few months. First one hinge screw constantly got loose, then one arm broke apart. They immediately arranged a replacement for me. But the second one had one hinge screw constantly got loose too. Their staff, Vicky, realized there's an inherent problem with the frame chosen. She contacted the supplier and eventually had a salesperson of the supplier to bring some frames, that matched with my lens for a second time replacement, to Dr. Kuhn's clinic for me to try on. It's not easy as there were back

My entire family has been seeing Dr.Lu for a number of years. We are made to feel welcome the minute we enter the office. Each of us have distinct needs- ranging from my 10 year old son to my mum. My son said it best when I asked him if he wished to share anything about Dr.Lu. He said, "She is kind." THAT means the most to me-as a mother and as her patient. Her kindness and the fact that she is so thorough is what I appreciate. Thank you Dr.Lu and the entire team for taking such good care of us.
