Services
Comprehensive Eye Exam
Our comprehensive eye exams use advanced technology to assess visual acuity and eye health. These exams detect early signs of conditions like glaucoma and macular degeneration while evaluating overall wellness connections. Patients receive personalized recommendations for vision correction and eye health maintenance.
Dry Eye Management
We diagnose and treat dry eye syndrome through advanced techniques and personalized plans. Our approach includes lubricating drops, prescription medications, and therapies like IPL treatment to restore natural moisture balance and alleviate chronic discomfort effectively.
Myopia Control
Our myopia control program slows nearsightedness progression in children using specialized contact lenses, atropine drops, and orthokeratology. This proactive approach reduces future risks of eye diseases while maintaining clear vision during critical development years.
Scleral Contact Lenses
Custom-designed scleral lenses provide comfort and clarity for complex vision needs. These gas-permeable lenses vault over irregular corneas, creating a tear reservoir that protects ocular surfaces while correcting vision for conditions like keratoconus.
Low Vision Rehabilitation
Our low vision rehabilitation services maximize remaining vision through assistive devices and training. We prescribe magnifiers, telescopes, and electronic systems while providing ongoing support to improve daily living independence for patients with significant vision loss.

I went to see Dr. Mao and Shania yesterday for the first time. Shania was incredibly warm and friendly, helpful and efficient! And the same with Dr. Mao. He sat patiently and listened to what I had to say. He asked me questions to confirm that he'd understood my needs correctly and after I was done explaining, he did some tests and arrived at a solution for me. I left with two different trial contacts so I could decide which worked better. He is incredibly kind and thoughtful and knowledgable and smart. I am so thrilled that I found him!

Dr. Mao, Susan, and Shania go above and beyond in providing service for their patients. None of them rush through any part of the appointment. Such a friendly accommodating environment.

This was my first visit to Dr. Mao's office. I had been having a lot of issues with my prescriptions from my previous optometrist over the past few years, so I thought I would try a new optometrist. I was able to get in for an appointment within a week and Dr. Mao shared information regarding my eye health that I had not been made aware of previously. He provided solutions for my dry eye issue and after my exam provided me with a new prescription for glasses. He then referred me to his assistant who helped me select new glasses, properly fitted them, and advised me that they would be ready for

My friend recommended Dr Mao a few years ago. And since then he has also become my dad and daughter's doctor as well. We all liked Dr Mao the first time we met him. And the people on his staff are just as great. Everyone made us feel so comfortable. I would highly recommend Dr Mao to more family and friends in the future.

I would highly recommend Dr. Mao! It was refreshing to visit a practicing optometrist with ophthalmologic training and awareness of complex eye issues. He was very friendly and took the time to ask me about the functional impact of my visual impairment, and explore how to better adapt to vision changes. Dr. Mao and his staff were also familiar with Assistive Devices Program, which was helpful, and knowledge of funding programs like this is rare to find in an optometrists office. Both Shania and Jacqueline are also very knowledgeable and welcoming. Overall, it was a great experience and I will

I just wanted to let you know that my visit this morning exceeded my expectations. The staff was warm and welcoming which helped me feel at home right away. Dr. Mao took the time to get to know me and to talk about my concerns. He explained everything very well and took the time to explain next steps. The staff was helpful while picking out frames and options for lenses for both everyday wear and sunglasses. Thank you again for a great experience. I will definitely recommend to family and friends.
