Services
Comprehensive Eye Exams
Our thorough eye exams use advanced technology to assess both vision quality and eye health. We check for common vision problems like myopia and astigmatism while screening for serious conditions such as glaucoma and macular degeneration. The exam includes digital retinal imaging and visual field testing to ensure complete assessment of your ocular health.
Prescription Eyewear
We offer a wide selection of designer frames and high-quality lenses tailored to your specific vision needs. Our optical experts help with frame fitting and lens customization including anti-reflective coatings, progressive lenses, and UV protection. All eyewear is custom-crafted to meet both your visual requirements and lifestyle needs.
Contact Lens Fittings
Our specialized contact lens fittings ensure optimal comfort and vision correction. We provide comprehensive evaluations for various lens types including toric, multifocal, and specialty lenses. Patients receive detailed instructions on proper lens care and handling, with follow-up assessments to ensure long-term eye health.
Retinal Imaging
Using state-of-the-art Optos technology, we capture detailed images of your retina to detect early signs of eye diseases. This non-invasive imaging helps identify potential issues like diabetic retinopathy and age-related macular degeneration before symptoms appear, enabling early intervention and better treatment outcomes.
Vision Health Management
We provide ongoing management of chronic eye conditions including glaucoma and cataracts. Our monitoring services track disease progression using advanced diagnostic tools, and we coordinate with ophthalmologists for surgical cases. Patients receive personalized treatment plans and regular follow-up assessments to maintain optimal eye health.

Really grateful to have Dr Knight as my optometrist. I've been going here for probably 10 years now and have only had good experiences (except for that eye puff pressure test, but that's on the test, not the clinic haha). Dr Knight is super professional and great at her job and the receptionist is a dream to deal with. Never had any problems getting my prescription or billing my insurance.
