Services
LASIK Surgery
LASIK surgery corrects refractive errors like myopia, hyperopia, and astigmatism using advanced laser technology. Our specialists ensure precise reshaping of the cornea for improved vision clarity. Patients benefit from reduced dependency on glasses or contact lenses through this safe, FDA-approved procedure.
Cataract Surgery
Cataract surgery removes clouded lenses and replaces them with artificial intraocular lenses to restore clear vision. We use modern techniques like phacoemulsification for minimal incisions and faster recovery. Customized lens options address individual visual needs, including astigmatism correction.
Glaucoma Exams
Glaucoma exams detect increased intraocular pressure and optic nerve damage through tonometry, visual field testing, and OCT imaging. Early diagnosis prevents peripheral vision loss. Treatment options include medicated eye drops, laser therapy, or surgical interventions tailored to disease severity.
Diabetic Eye Exams
Diabetic eye exams assess retinal health to identify diabetic retinopathy, a complication from blood sugar fluctuations. Dilated fundus exams and retinal imaging monitor vascular changes. Timely intervention prevents vision-threatening complications like hemorrhages or retinal detachment.
Dry Eye Treatment
Dry eye treatment addresses symptoms like burning, redness, and excessive tearing through advanced diagnostics. Options include artificial tears, prescription medications (e.g., Restasis), punctal plugs, and the iLUX device for meibomian gland dysfunction. Personalized plans target underlying causes for long-term relief.

First off, Crystal and Bruce were disrespectful beyond belief, i couldn't believe it! nobody deserves to get treated how they treat people! it's like they think they are better than you or something. i wouldn't recommend this place to ANYONE i know. you ask a simple question and they act like your are already supposed to know the answer and look at you like you're dumb. i was so angry when they treated my sister like she was nobody. never going back here!

I wish I could give different review stars for the various people in the whole office. Dr Thompson would get 5 stars he is amazing, takes his time with you and explains everything that you ask about. The guy who does the fittings would get 5 stars as he is very good at what he does. There are 3 women at the front desk; the one that is nearest the door and has red hair would get no more than one star, she is rather rude she doesn't want to do anything to help someone.
The other two women are better than she and one especially was helpful. They would get 3 and 4 stars. I am actually actively looking to go elsewhere with my eye care because of the one woman who is so damn rude. I had a friend call to see about making a new patient appointment and the lady was so rude to her she decided to go elsewhere. Dr Thompson this woman is costing you money and losing your patients.

Eye exam was fine. Everything else was horrible. When picking out glasses, everything was up-charged without explanation or consulting me. At the end of the day, the bill was over $900 (before insurance) for an exam and one set of frames.
