Comprehensive Vision and Eye Health Examinations
Regular eye exams are an invaluable tool in maintaining healthy eyes by detecting and preventing disease. Some diseases develop slowly without causing pain or vision loss. Early detection of any problems can reduce the risk of further harm and allow for a choice of treatment options. The entire exam process can take an hour depending on the complexity of the problem. Each patient will be evaluated with a refraction, slit lamp, intraocular pressure and a retinal exam.
Pediatric Eye Care
We take pride in maintaining the vision of our younger patients in an environment that is lighthearted and fun. We want to insure the good sight, vision, and eye health for the rest of your child's life and take a preventative approach to his/her general health and eye health. We will work with your child's primary care physician to help keep his/her eyes health. It is important that all of our pediatric patients have healthy and efficient visual systems to help make visual demands of learning in school easier and fun.
Contact Lens Exams and Fittings
Thanks to the advances in optical technology, almost everyone is a candidate for contact lens use. This includes patients with astigmatism and also those who prefer bifocal or multifocal lenses. At our office, we offer a comprehensive array of contact lenses to suit each individual patient's needs. We offer daily disposables, extended wear soft lenses to gas permeable contact lenses. We offer regular and custom lens services for both healthy and difficult to fit patients.
Vision Therapy
Vision therapy is the non-surgical alternative to various eye disorders like amblyopia (Lazy Eye), strabismus (Wandering Eye), autism, and sports vision. These conditions typically present themselves during the adolescent years and have the highest likelihood of correction when treated early on. Our doctors prescribe various eye exercises to address various ocular disorders and we supervise the patient through each session working toward a successful outcome.
Orthokeratology
Corneal reshaping with gas permeable molds worn over night. This FDA approved therapy controls myopia progression in younger patients and allows clients to be contact lens and glasses free during waking hours. Our doctors are specially trained to identify those clients that are ideal candidates for this therapy and to design and fit ortho-k molds. Therapy usually lasts for a year.
