Eye Care Services

• Dry Eye Treatments – Dry eye syndrome occurs when your eyes don’t produce enough tears or when tears evaporate too quickly. We offer comprehensive treatments including prescription eye drops, anti-inflammatory medications, punctal plugs to prevent tear drainage, and advanced therapies such as LipiFlow or intense pulsed light (IPL) to address meibomian gland dysfunction.
• Comprehensive Eye Exam – Our thorough eye examination evaluates your visual acuity, prescribes necessary vision correction, and screens for eye diseases. The exam includes visual field testing, intraocular pressure measurement, slit lamp evaluation, and retinal assessment to ensure optimal eye health and detect potential issues before they progress.
• Eyeglasses – We provide custom-fitted eyeglasses using precise measurements and high-quality lenses. Options include single vision, bifocal, progressive, and specialized lenses with treatments such as anti-reflective coating, blue light filtering, photochromic technology, and scratch-resistant coatings to suit your specific vision needs and lifestyle.
• Contact Lenses – Our contact lens services include professional fitting of soft, rigid gas permeable, hybrid, and specialty lenses. We determine the optimal lens parameters for your eye shape and vision requirements, providing options for daily wear, extended wear, disposable, and specialty lenses for conditions like astigmatism and presbyopia.
• Myopia Management – This service aims to slow the progression of nearsightedness in children and adolescents. Treatment approaches include specialized contact lenses (orthokeratology or multifocal designs), atropine eye drops, and specific eyeglasses designed to reduce peripheral hyperopic defocus that contributes to myopia progression.
• Keratoconus – We diagnose and manage keratoconus, a progressive thinning of the cornea. Treatment options include specialized contact lenses (scleral, rigid gas permeable), corneal crosslinking to strengthen and stabilize the cornea, Intacs corneal implants, and, in advanced cases, corneal transplantation to restore vision and corneal integrity.
• LASIK & PRK – These surgical procedures correct refractive errors by reshaping the cornea. LASIK creates a corneal flap before laser treatment, while PRK removes the epithelium directly. We provide pre-surgical evaluation, procedural referrals, and comprehensive post-operative care to ensure optimal outcomes and recovery.
• Cataract – Cataract management includes diagnosis, monitoring, and coordination of surgical intervention when a clouded lens significantly impairs vision. We offer pre-surgical consultations, intraocular lens selection assistance, surgical referrals, and post-operative care to restore clear vision after lens replacement.
• Glaucoma Testing – Our comprehensive glaucoma screening measures intraocular pressure, evaluates optic nerve health, assesses visual field, and analyzes retinal nerve fiber layer thickness. Early detection is crucial for implementing treatments that preserve vision by reducing intraocular pressure through medication, laser procedures, or surgical interventions.
• Demodex – We diagnose and treat Demodex infestations, microscopic mites that can cause blepharitis and contribute to dry eye symptoms. Treatment protocols include specialized eyelid cleansers, tea tree oil-based therapies, and in-office procedures to eradicate these parasites and alleviate associated inflammation and discomfort.
• Pink Eye – We diagnose and treat conjunctivitis (pink eye), differentiating between viral, bacterial, and allergic causes. Treatment plans are tailored to the specific type and may include antibiotics for bacterial infections, anti-inflammatory medications, artificial tears, and guidance on preventing transmission of contagious forms.
• Macular Degeneration – We provide monitoring, early detection, and management of age-related macular degeneration (AMD). Services include retinal imaging, genetic testing for risk assessment, nutritional supplementation recommendations, monitoring of dry AMD, and coordination of treatment for wet AMD with anti-VEGF injections when indicated.
