Services
Comprehensive Eye Exams
Our thorough eye examinations use advanced diagnostic technology to assess vision health and detect potential eye diseases. We evaluate visual acuity, eye coordination, and intraocular pressure while checking for conditions like glaucoma and macular degeneration. Our exams include retinal imaging and digital refraction to ensure accurate prescriptions and early detection of systemic health issues.
Dry Eye Therapy
We offer specialized treatment for chronic dry eye syndrome using advanced diagnostic tools to identify underlying causes. Our personalized therapy plans may include prescription medications, punctal plugs, or LipiFlow thermal treatment. We also provide lifestyle recommendations and specialized contact lenses for severe cases, ensuring long-term relief and improved ocular surface health.
Myopia Control
Our evidence-based myopia management program targets progressive nearsightedness in children and teens. Using corneal reshaping lenses, atropine therapy, and specialized contact lenses, we slow axial elongation of the eye. Regular monitoring with the Topcon MYAH device allows precise tracking of treatment effectiveness and adjustment of intervention strategies.
Laser Eye Surgery Consultation
We provide comprehensive pre-operative evaluations and post-operative care for laser vision correction. Our optometrists assess candidacy through corneal topography, pupil dilation, and tear film analysis. We coordinate with surgical centers and offer customized recovery plans, including specialized eye drops and follow-up examinations to ensure optimal visual outcomes.
Children's Eye Exams
Our child-friendly eye exams assess visual development, eye teaming, and focusing abilities. We use age-appropriate techniques to detect amblyopia, strabismus, and learning-related vision problems. The examination includes color vision testing, depth perception assessment, and digital refraction to ensure accurate prescriptions for school-aged children and adolescents.

Great optometrist but worst front desk staff ever. One even hung up on me. I was called to come and pickup my glasses. Only thing I was told is to inform them when I get there. This lady literally won't listen to me. She kept telling me they have to book an appointment again. On trying to explain to ther that I was called to come and pick them up before their closing time be 5pm she said no and hung up on me.
