Services
Comprehensive Eye Examinations
Our detailed eye exams assess vision, prescription, and eye health using advanced technology like OCT scans and retinal imaging. We detect conditions such as glaucoma and macular degeneration early, ensuring timely treatment. Patients receive thorough explanations of their eye health and personalized care plans.
Dry Eye Management
We diagnose and treat dry eye disease using evidence-based protocols and advanced tools like keratography. Customized treatment plans may include lifestyle adjustments, medicated drops, or specialized therapies. Our clinic focuses on long-term relief and preventing complications like corneal damage.
Myopia Management
Targeting children and teens, our myopia control uses orthokeratology, atropine drops, and MiyoSmart lenses. These methods slow myopia progression by up to 50%, reducing future eye disease risks. Regular monitoring ensures effective, tailored interventions for each patient.
Orthokeratology
This non-surgical treatment reshapes the cornea overnight with rigid lenses, providing clear daytime vision without glasses. Ideal for active individuals, it also slows myopia progression in young patients. We offer fittings, follow-ups, and lens replacements for sustained results.
Co-Management
We collaborate with ophthalmologists and specialists to manage complex conditions like diabetic retinopathy and glaucoma. This ensures patients receive coordinated care, reducing costs and wait times while maintaining high standards through regular monitoring and specialist referrals.
