Services
Family Eye Exams
Comprehensive eye examinations check visual acuity, color vision, eye coordination, and microscopic eye structures. We recommend annual exams for patients with healthy vision. Our modern equipment ensures accurate diagnosis of potential vision issues while maintaining patient comfort throughout the process.
Cataract Surgery
We employ modern microsurgical techniques to remove age-related cataracts and implant artificial lenses. This outpatient procedure allows rapid recovery within days. Our specialists use advanced technology to restore optimal vision while providing clear preoperative and postoperative care instructions for patient confidence and safety.
Diabetes Eye Care
Our ophthalmologists monitor diabetic-related eye changes through regular comprehensive evaluations. We help minimize vision loss risks by detecting early signs of diabetic retinopathy. Patients receive personalized guidance on maintaining eye health alongside blood sugar management strategies for long-term visual preservation.
Glaucoma Treatment
We diagnose and manage glaucoma through eye pressure checks and specialized vision tests. Treatment options include medicated eye drops, laser therapy, or surgical interventions when necessary. Our approach focuses on preventing optic nerve damage while educating patients about disease progression and preventive care.
Optical Shop
Our optical shops feature premium designer frames from Coach, Calvin Klein, and Prada alongside durable Flexon options. Certified opticians assist with frame selection and fitting. We offer advanced lens technologies like Crizal anti-reflective coatings for improved visual clarity and comfort in various lighting conditions.

Excellent office from both a patient's and a physician's point of view! Always prompt and polite, and Dr. Calenda has an excellent bedside manner to go along with his depth of knowledge in his field. Always a pleasure to deal with this office!

Horrible customer service and front desk personnel. Dr. Levin is wonderful and it's unfortunate that he works with such a team. I've stuck with them for years because of his great service. However, the office hours are not always maintained, the call service is often on during open business hours, I've waiting over 45 minutes for a scheduled appointment, and have received rude responses when inquiring about prescriptions/appointments/orders etc. Frankly, this office is a train wreck. At this point, shame on me for not finding a new provider sooner.

Long time patient. Always have found the office personnel friendly. They know me by first name. Sandra is always pleasant. knowledgeable. and helpful in choosing glasses. But the reason I return is because of Drs. Calenda and Dr. Levin. I literally trust my vision to their expertise.

My first time here. Very nice staff! Dr. Levin was great and personable. He gave me clear information after examining my eyes with the eye test before Dr. Calenda came in to see me. Dr. Calenda is a nice guy who was thorough and didn't make you wait like some other offices do! I ended up purchasing my eyeglasses from Sandra and she was patient and very helpful. I'd recommend Calenda Eye Care!
