Our Services

Comprehensive Eye Exams

A comprehensive eye exam measures visual function and eye health. This is done with a variety of medical equipment, great precision, and can only be done correctly by your eye doctor.

Diabetic Eye Exams

Diabetes is a systemic (whole body) disease that affects blood vessels everywhere in the body. The eye is a prime place to monitor this disease as your eye doctor can safely view blood vessels without cutting into tissue.

Eyeglasses

From protecting the skin from ultraviolet rays to ensuring comfortable viewing, there are many reasons to wear eyeglasses.    We can help!

Standard & Specialty Contact Lens Fitting

Contact lens fitting involves measurements of the curvature of the front surface of your eye in order to obtain the proper curve of the lens.  We specialize in difficult to fit lenses.

Ocular Disease Treatment & Management

From degenerative diseases to eye injury, with early detection and treatment, you can often protect your eyes against serious vision  loss.

Pre and Post-Operative Care

Our doctors provide pre and post operative care for cataract surgery, LASIK, PRK, corneal transplants and other surgeries. Ask us about our free LASIK evaluation with your comprehensive eye exam.

Specializing in Low Vision Rehabilitation

Some patients, due to eye disease, congenital/childhood disease, or injury, cannot achieve perfect vision even with the best glasses and contacts. Both of our doctors specialize in optimizing visual function for these patients using devices and techniques in our Low Vision Clinic.
