Eye Exams

Regular eye exams are crucial for maintaining optimal vision health. During an eye exam, we will assess various aspects of your vision, including visual acuity, eye muscle coordination, and peripheral vision. These exams not only detect refractive errors like nearsightedness, farsightedness, and astigmatism but also identify potential eye diseases such as glaucoma, cataracts, and macular degeneration at their early stages.

Eyeglasses

Eyeglasses are a common solution for correcting refractive errors and improving vision clarity. After an eye exam, our optometrists use precise measurements to craft customized lenses that address your specific vision needs. Whether you require single-vision lenses for near or distance vision, bifocals, or progressive lenses for both, eyeglasses offer a reliable and effective means of vision correction. Additionally, a wide range of frame styles and materials are available for both functionality and fashion.

Contact Lenses

Contact lenses provide a convenient and comfortable alternative to eyeglasses. They are available in various types, including soft, rigid gas permeable, and hybrid lenses, to cater to different preferences and vision requirements. However, proper fitting and care are essential to ensure optimal vision and eye health. Regular contact lens exams, which evaluate lens fit and assess eye health, are necessary to prevent complications such as corneal abrasions, infections, and dry eye syndrome.

Contact Lens Exams

Contact lens exams are specialized assessments that focus on evaluating the fit, condition, and comfort of contact lenses. In addition to checking visual acuity, these exams assess the lenses' interaction with the cornea and surrounding structures to ensure they provide oxygen and hydrate your eyes. We may adjust lens parameters during these exams to enhance comfort and visual clarity.

Eyelid Surgery

Eyelid surgery, or blepharoplasty, is a procedure that enhances the function and appearance of the eyelids. Whether performed for cosmetic reasons or to address drooping eyelids that impair vision, this surgical intervention can rejuvenate the eye area and restore a more youthful appearance. By removing excess skin, fat, and muscle tissue, eyelid surgery can alleviate hooded eyelids, reduce under-eye puffiness, and improve overall eye symmetry.

Retinal Injections

Retinal injections, also known as intravitreal injections, are common treatments for various retinal disorders, including age-related macular degeneration (AMD), diabetic retinopathy, and retinal vein occlusion. These injections deliver medication directly into the vitreous cavity of the eye, targeting abnormal blood vessel growth or inflammation that can lead to vision loss. While the procedure may sound intimidating, it is performed under local anesthesia and is relatively quick and painless.

Prescription Sunglasses

Prescription sunglasses offer dual benefits of vision correction and UV protection, making them a practical and stylish accessory for individuals with refractive errors. These specialized sunglasses are customized to your prescription, ensuring optimal vision clarity while shielding your eyes from harmful UV rays. With a wide array of lens tints and frame designs available, prescription sunglasses allow you to express your personal style while and preserve your eyesight.

Glaucoma Treatment

Glaucoma treatment encompasses various approaches that helps lower eye pressure and prevent further vision loss. From medicated eye drops and oral medications to laser therapy and surgical interventions like trabeculectomy and minimally invasive glaucoma surgery (MIGS), treatment strategies are tailored to each patient's specific needs. Regular monitoring and adhering to treatment are crucial for managing glaucoma effectively.
