It Starts with an Eye Exam
Comprehensive Eye Exams
Our comprehensive eye exams include a thorough evaluation of your eye health, visual acuity, and eye muscle function. We use the latest technology to detect and diagnose eye diseases and conditions.
Designer Frames & Lenses
We carry a wide selection of designer frames and lenses from the top brands you know and love. Our staff will help you find the perfect pair of glasses to fit your style and budget.
Contact Lens Fittings
Our doctors are experts in fitting all types of contact lenses, including soft, hard, and specialty lenses. We also offer fittings for patients with astigmatism and presbyopia.
Retinal Imaging
Ultra-wide field imaging allows your doctor to see more of your retina all at once, so they can pick up on the earliest signs of disease.
Myopia Control
Myopia, or nearsightedness, is a common vision condition that can worsen over time. Our optometrists can provide myopia control treatments to slow down the progression of the condition and prevent further vision loss.
Emergency Care
We offer emergency eye care services for patients experiencing eye injuries, infections, or sudden vision changes. After hours, please visit your nearest emergency department.
