Services
Eye Examinations
Comprehensive eye health assessments using digital retinal photography and advanced diagnostic tools. Our examinations detect early signs of ocular diseases like macular degeneration and glaucoma while evaluating visual acuity. Patients receive personalized recommendations for vision correction and ongoing eye health management, with particular expertise in identifying learning-related vision problems in children.
Orthokeratology
Non-surgical vision correction through overnight corneal reshaping. Custom-designed contact lenses gently reshape the cornea during sleep, providing clear daytime vision without glasses. This treatment effectively manages myopia progression in children and offers adults an alternative to laser surgery, with noticeable results typically achieved within two weeks.
Myopia Control
Specialized programs combining orthokeratology and low-dose atropine therapy to slow myopia progression. Our evidence-based approach targets children during critical growth periods, reducing the risk of high myopia complications. Regular monitoring ensures optimal treatment outcomes while maintaining visual comfort and academic performance.
Contact Lenses
Custom contact lens fittings for various vision needs, including multifocal and specialty lenses. We provide comprehensive training on proper lens handling and maintenance while ensuring optimal comfort and visual clarity. Our expertise extends to solving challenges with traditional glasses wearers, particularly for active lifestyles and sports participation.
Visual Stress Assessment
Diagnostic evaluation for visual stress symptoms affecting reading and learning. Utilizing colorimetry assessments, we identify precision optical filters to alleviate symptoms like text distortion and glare sensitivity. This service addresses uncorrected vision problems contributing to academic challenges in children and adults with reading difficulties.
