Eye Examinations
Our comprehensive eye exams assess visual acuity, ocular health, and systemic disease indicators. Using advanced diagnostic tools like OCT imaging, we detect early signs of glaucoma, diabetic retinopathy, and macular degeneration. The 45-60 minute evaluations include refraction testing, intraocular pressure measurement, and retinal scans to ensure complete eye health assessments for patients aged 3 and above.
Dry Eye Treatment
Our specialized dry eye clinic employs advanced diagnostics like InflammaDry and TearLab to identify inflammation markers and osmolarity imbalances. Treatment protocols combine BlephEx lid exfoliation, iLux meibomian gland therapy, and customized artificial tear regimens. The multi-phase approach addresses both evaporative and aqueous-deficient dry eye conditions through evidence-based interventions tailored to individual tear film composition.
Myopia Management
This pediatric-focused program utilizes orthokeratology lenses, atropine therapy, and multifocal contact lenses to slow myopia progression. Clinical studies show our interventions reduce axial elongation by approximately 50%, lowering lifetime risks of retinal detachment and glaucoma. The treatment includes quarterly progress monitoring using corneal topography and axial length measurements to optimize outcomes for children aged 6-16.
Vision Therapy
Dr. Noelda Fernandes' vision therapy program addresses binocular vision disorders through customized neuro-optometric exercises. The 12-24 week regimen improves eye coordination, focusing ability, and visual processing skills using specialized equipment like vectograms and computer-assisted tools. Effective for treating amblyopia, strabismus, and post-concussion visual disturbances, sessions combine in-office treatments with home reinforcement activities.
Diagnostic Imaging
Our diagnostic imaging suite features Cirrus OCT, Optos California, and Humphrey Visual Field analyzers for precise ocular mapping. These technologies enable early detection of retinal pathologies, optic nerve damage, and macular changes through high-resolution cross-sectional imaging. The non-invasive scans provide quantitative data for monitoring progressive conditions like diabetic retinopathy and age-related macular degeneration with sub-micron accuracy.

Fantastic service and staff. Would have been nice to know there is a $50 no show fee before I made my initial appointment, but all in all worth the extra money. Highly recommended.
