Services
Eye Examinations
Our comprehensive eye exams use advanced technology to assess vision clarity and eye health. We check for common conditions like glaucoma and macular degeneration while updating prescriptions. The 30-minute process includes specialized testing for patients with pre-existing conditions or family history of ocular disease.
Ortho-K Therapy
This non-surgical treatment uses custom rigid lenses worn overnight to temporarily reshape the cornea. Ideal for myopia patients, it provides daytime vision correction without glasses or contacts while potentially slowing prescription progression through personalized lens design.
Contact Lenses
We offer soft and specialty lenses for various vision needs including astigmatism and presbyopia. Our optometrists provide fitting services and training for safe lens handling. Options include daily disposables, monthly replacements, and therapeutic lenses for conditions like keratoconus.
Premium Frames
Our collection features leading brands like Ray-Ban and Oakley alongside practical options. Optical dispensers help select frames that complement facial features while ensuring proper fit for individual prescriptions and lifestyle requirements.
Dry Eye Treatments
Specialized assessments identify dry eye causes followed by tailored treatment plans. Options include advanced therapies, lid hygiene education, and customized lubricant recommendations to improve ocular surface health and comfort.
Questions
How often should I have an eye examination?
We recommend biennial exams for adults with no symptoms. Annual checks are advised for contact lens wearers, diabetics, or those with family eye disease history. Children should be tested before school starts.
What is Ortho-K and who benefits most?
Ortho-K uses overnight lenses to reshape the cornea for daytime vision correction. It's ideal for active individuals, children with progressing myopia, and those unsuitable for laser surgery due to dry eyes or corneal issues.
Do you offer children's vision assessments?
Yes, we specialize in pediatric optometry including behavioral assessments. Early detection of vision problems is crucial for learning development, with comprehensive exams tailored to children's specific needs.
What lens options are available for computer use?
We provide anti-fatigue lenses with specialized zones for digital device use, office lenses optimized for computer distances, and blue light filtering coatings to reduce digital eye strain during prolonged screen time.
Can I try frames online before purchasing?
While we recommend in-person fittings for accurate assessment, our website showcases current brands. Our optical dispensers can help virtually through our online booking system for frame selection guidance.
