Services
General Eye Exam
Our comprehensive eye exams assess visual acuity, eye health, and systemic health indicators through neurological screening, eye pressure testing, and retinal examination. These evaluations detect early signs of conditions like glaucoma, macular degeneration, and diabetic retinopathy while determining corrective lens prescriptions. The 60-90 minute process includes pupil dilation when necessary to ensure complete assessment of ocular health.
Retina Care
Specialized retinal care utilizes Optos imaging technology to diagnose and manage conditions like macular degeneration and diabetic retinopathy. Our ophthalmologists perform detailed retinal evaluations to detect abnormalities in the light-sensitive tissue responsible for vision, implementing treatment plans that may include laser therapy or medical interventions to preserve visual function.
Contact Lens Services
We offer customized contact lens fittings for various needs including astigmatism correction with toric lenses and multifocal solutions for presbyopia. Our specialists ensure proper lens curvature measurements to prevent discomfort while providing education on proper wear, cleaning techniques, and annual eye health monitoring for safe contact lens use.
Dry Eye Syndrome
Advanced dry eye treatment addresses meibomian gland dysfunction through Lipiflow thermal pulsation therapy. This 12-minute FDA-approved procedure uses controlled heat and massage to unblock oil glands, restoring natural tear film balance. We combine diagnostic testing with personalized management strategies including artificial tears and lifestyle modifications.
Myopia Management
Our pediatric myopia management program employs multiple approaches including orthokeratology lenses, atropine eye drops, and peripheral defocus contact lenses. These evidence-based treatments aim to slow eye elongation progression in children by 45-60%, reducing long-term risks of glaucoma and cataracts associated with high myopia.

Overall great first experience at the office. Everyone was extremely nice and welcoming. Dr. Kuskie took the time to help me understand my eyes better than any other doctor I've had in the past. My wife and kids all loved their experience there as well.

Excellent business and service. 1st experience was great. Kristen checked me in. Prompt and courteous. Stacy did the initial exam and was prompt, professional, and courteous. Dr. Holtzman was excellent. Asked a lot questions and answered mine. Didn't feel rushed like he was trying to get to the next appointment. Professional, courteous, and comprehensive. Alexis stopped what she was doing to call a previous provider for history details. Unheard of in todays you will wait, you will pay top dollar, and you will get what we feel like type business environment.
The biggest observation was that the employees were having fun serving the customer base. You could feel the positivity when you walked in the room. Very well done Alexis. Thank you! I will be back and will send all the referrals I can.

This is my first visit today. I was very much impressed. The doctor is very caring and thorough. I finally got a pair of glasses that are going to fit correctly thanks to the nice lady at the desk. I would highly recommend them. It just really seem to care and that meant the most to me.

Dr. Kuskie is an answer to my prayers. I have a medical condition that affects my eyes and can be very painful. He knows about the disease and is working with me. Finding a provider with any knowledge of Sjogren's is beyond difficult and many patients never do find help. Brenda took care of me to begin the appointment and she's warm, friendly, and knowledgeable. The front desk staff is also very good. They are efficient and friendly. I've been a patient for over 30 years and am grateful for the entire staff.
