Services
Cataract Surgery
Our advanced cataract surgery removes clouded lenses while preserving eye health. Using laser precision and premium implants, we restore clarity and reduce glasses dependence. Patients experience improved color perception and night vision, with most procedures completed in 30 minutes under local anesthesia. Recovery typically involves minimal downtime.
LASIK Procedure
Custom LASIK solutions address myopia, hyperopia, and astigmatism using femtosecond laser technology. Our board-certified surgeons create personalized flap patterns for optimal corneal reshaping. Patients achieve 20/20 vision or better in most cases, with immediate visual improvements commonly reported after the 15-minute procedure.
Comprehensive Eye Exams
Thorough diagnostic evaluations detect early signs of glaucoma, macular degeneration, and diabetic retinopathy. Our dilated retinal exams include binocular vision testing and intraocular pressure measurements. Patients receive personalized eyewear prescriptions alongside expert recommendations for ocular health management.
Optical Center
Our ABO-certified opticians combine style with functionality through premium lens coatings and designer frames. We offer progressive lenses, blue light protection, and sports eyewear solutions. Onsite repairs and adjustments ensure lasting eyewear satisfaction for prescription glasses and sunglasses.
Premium IOL Implants
We offer multifocal and toric intraocular lenses that correct astigmatism and presbyopia. These premium implants provide extended depth of focus for distance, intermediate, and near vision. Patients enjoy reduced dependency on corrective lenses while benefiting from UV protection and glare reduction.

I saw Dr. Cleaver for a routine eye exam. He and the staff were great. Quick check in, very short wait in the patient room for both the assistant and Dr Cleaver. He walked me through all of my options and made time for questions/understanding.

Incompetent staff optometrist. My wife had to go twice for the wrong prescription provided by 2 different optometrist. Beware of this clinic optometrist. Always ask for the MD to confirm the optometrist assessment. It is best to stay away because doctor (MD) does not do vision assessments in this clinic and hired optometrists are incompetent underexposed and likely undertrained.

I called Dr. brumms office to get scheduled they refused to schedule me until I was paid in full. It's $100. I told them I would pay the full amount tomorrow. She said that she could not schedule me until it's paid. We are in the middle of a global pandemic. My neurologist put in a referral for me to see a new optometrist.

Love Brumm Eye Center. I recently was helped by Carissa Stripe - who helped me fix my prescription sunglasses I purchased at Brumm. I have been a patient for many years and purchased several pairs of glasses there. Both my husband and I have been very pleased with the service and efforts Brumm extends to all their patients and customers. First class eye center!

Brumm Eye & Laser Vision was recommended to me by a friend for an eye condition that I could not get resolved after several weeks of treatment. They quickly had my eye issue under control and figured out a long term treatment that is working great. After weeks of suffering, I was very appreciative of their direct approach. The office staff is very friendly and professional. I highly recommend this office for all your eye care needs.
