Services
Cataract Surgery
Cataract surgery removes clouded lenses and replaces them with artificial intraocular lenses. Our surgeons use advanced techniques like laser-assisted procedures and premium IOLs to correct vision issues such as astigmatism. Patients typically experience improved vision within days, with a 95-98% success rate reported annually in the United States.
Glaucoma Treatment
Our glaucoma management includes medicated eye drops, laser therapy, and surgical interventions to control intraocular pressure. Early detection through routine exams helps prevent optic nerve damage. We tailor treatment plans to each patient's condition severity and lifestyle requirements for long-term eye health.
Routine Eye Exams
Comprehensive eye exams assess visual acuity, eye health, and systemic conditions affecting vision. Our optometrists use digital imaging and refraction tests to update prescriptions for glasses or contact lenses. These exams also screen for early signs of cataracts, diabetes, and macular degeneration.
Contact Lens Fitting
Our opticians specialize in fitting patients with customized contact lenses, including toric and multifocal options. We offer trial lenses and follow-up evaluations to ensure comfort and proper fit. The latest lens materials provide enhanced oxygen permeability for extended wear comfort and eye health.
Macular Degeneration Care
We provide diagnostic testing and management strategies for age-related macular degeneration. Treatment options include anti-VEGF injections, nutritional supplements, and low-vision aids. Our team monitors disease progression using OCT imaging to preserve central vision and maintain quality of life.

This place does not put records in properly. They do not put in the proper dates. I had four children that I took in for eye exams on the exact same day, made sure last summer all four of my children had glasses for the following year of school and now I'm being told that they didn't see the eye doctor until late in August. There is absolutely no way that this took place late in August as they had already started school.
All four of my children had brand new glasses before they started school last year. Because they put their records in improperly in accurately and just blatantly wrong now my children will not have a new glasses for this year for school.

The doctors here are great do a wonderful job. But the billing department does NOT file with your insurance. I call and asked if they filed all my policies. She said they did but could only provide two proofs and I have three insurance policies. Tried to call again left message will not return my calls. They just keep sending out the same bill.

Dr. Williams was amazing. Very smart, gave alot of information and was super calm and really just comforting. The only downfall was not being told about the blurred vision after dilation of the eye.

Was a little bit unorganized at check in with 3 gals and they could only help one of us at a time? Plus the Dr was behind schedule possibly because of check in inefficiencies. Dr and Assistant were very thorough and he explained and anserwed all of my concerns. Also, very welcoming. I chose to get my frames at Wally World because the prices were a bit higher and I required all the added lens featured so wanted to save as much as I could to cover those costs. Overall, nice place and clean! Thank you!

Dr. Craw is so amazing and thorough. He corrected my previous prescription from a different doctor and performed extra steps to ensure the best outcome. I appreciate the time he takes to make sure I can see. That extra attention makes all the difference.

The staff is extremely helpful and polite, I was moving slowly because of needing a walker due to a leg issue. The staff was accommodating towards my needs and made me feel good about my visit. The checkup was very through as usual and I really appreciate that tremendously. I don't have much to say except Thank You!
