Services
Comprehensive Eye Exams
Our thorough eye exams assess visual acuity, eye health, and systemic conditions affecting vision. Using advanced diagnostic tools, we detect early signs of diseases like glaucoma and macular degeneration. Patients receive personalized recommendations for corrective lenses or treatment plans.
Cataract Surgery
We perform outpatient cataract surgery using precision techniques to replace cloudy lenses with clear implants. Our approach minimizes recovery time while maximizing visual clarity, with pre-operative evaluations ensuring optimal intraocular lens selection for each patient.
LASIK Procedures
Custom LASIK treatments reduce dependency on glasses or contacts by reshaping the cornea. Our technology creates detailed eye maps for precise laser adjustments, addressing nearsightedness, farsightedness, and astigmatism with rapid recovery.
Glaucoma Management
We employ tonometry and optic nerve imaging to diagnose glaucoma early. Treatment options include medicated drops, laser therapy, and microsurgery to control intraocular pressure and prevent vision loss through ongoing monitoring.
Contact Lens Fitting
Our specialists conduct detailed corneal topography to prescribe customized contact lenses for astigmatism, presbyopia, or irregular corneas. We offer trial lenses and follow-up assessments to ensure comfort and optimal vision correction.

CEI is very well run. I'm typically seen within 5 minutes of my scheduled appointment, and the entire staff is focused on patient satisfaction. Additionally, on two emergency occasions, they opened up their schedule, to see/advise my wife. This was highly appreciated! Please keep up the fine work! Sincerely, AM

I had a tear in my eye from my contacts and walked in at 4:20 in the afternoon with no appointment and they were very gracious, professional and joyful to see me. They were able to get me right in before they closed and the doctor was beyond smart and delightful. Thank you so very much for saving me! unbelievable service, great attitudes and accommodation in a culture where that does not exist. What a breath of fresh air and I will refer many people to this wonderful business!

I can't say enough good things about Clavenna, they are not only the best ophthalmologist's office I've been to, but the best medical provider in general. After spending about an hour calling around to different places because of blurry vision from a possible eye abrasion, I called Clavenna and after describing my symptoms the office staff expressed genuine concern and was able to get me in first thing the following morning!
When I arrived everyone was very warm, welcoming and professional. When I met the Dr, he was no different and took great care and time to understand my symptoms. I told him that I didn't have insurance, and there was absolutely no judgment, he remained understanding and was able to work with me. What a great place, if you're looking for an eye doctor, with Clavenna you've literally found the best around!

Dr Clavenna is highly recommended. If you're getting any kind of eye surgery or having issues with your eyes he is the best of the best. Very nice person, and very thorough. He did my dads caterax surgery and my dad recommended him to me. After recently visiting with Dr Clavenna I can understand why my dad strongly recommended him to me.

I've been a patient at Clavenna for only a little over a year but I am always amazed at how quickly I am in and out for my appointments. It's like they are all waiting just for me and if tests are on the schedule, each is done seamlessly with no waiting in between. Dr. Fitzgerald has a tech at his side who makes notes in the computer as he examines my eyes and we discuss. I've never been a patient at any office that runs so efficiently. The care is top notch with current up-to-date technology.
