Dr. Hart personally reviews results, ensuring accurate prescriptions and identifying systemic health issues. Annual exams are recommended to maintain long-term eye health and prevent irreversible damage from conditions like glaucoma or diabetic retinopathy.

We specialize in diagnosing and managing glaucoma through medication, laser therapy, and surgical referrals. Early detection during routine exams helps prevent optic nerve damage. Treatment plans are customized to slow disease progression and preserve vision using the latest medical advancements and personalized monitoring.

Regular dilated eye exams monitor retinal health, while interventions like injections or laser therapy address vascular damage.
