Eye Exams
Our comprehensive eye exams assess visual acuity, eye muscle coordination, and peripheral vision while detecting refractive errors and early signs of eye diseases like glaucoma and macular degeneration. We use advanced diagnostic technology to evaluate eye health for patients of all ages, from infants to seniors. Our optometrists and ophthalmologists work together to ensure accurate diagnoses and personalized treatment plans.
Glaucoma Treatment
We provide medical and surgical management for glaucoma patients, including medicated eye drops, laser therapy, and minimally invasive procedures. Our team monitors intraocular pressure regularly and implements tailored treatment plans to prevent vision loss. We educate patients on disease progression and lifestyle adjustments to maintain eye health.
Contact Lens Fittings
Our specialists fit standard and specialty contact lenses, including toric lenses for astigmatism and gas permeable lenses for keratoconus. We conduct detailed corneal mapping to ensure proper lens alignment and comfort. Patients receive comprehensive training on lens care and hygiene to prevent complications like dry eye or infections.
Retinal Injections
We administer intravitreal injections for retinal conditions like age-related macular degeneration and diabetic retinopathy. These treatments deliver medication directly to affected areas using sterile techniques to minimize infection risk. Our ophthalmologists monitor treatment effectiveness through regular follow-up appointments and imaging tests.
Eyelid Surgery
Our surgical team performs eyelid procedures to correct drooping eyelids that impair vision or create a tired appearance. The surgery removes excess skin and fat while preserving eye function. We provide pre-operative consultations and post-operative care to ensure optimal healing and aesthetic results.

Great office! Kind and knowledgeable staff. Recently took our little one for an exam as part of the InfantSee program, which is a great program to make sure your baby is checked early for any vision issues as well!

Waited 40 minutes past my appointment time in the lobby with no updates on how much longer or an apology for running behind. Decided to cancel my appointment and leave without ever being seen. I let the front desk know that I have a breastfed 7 month old at home so I couldn't wait any longer and needed to cancel my appointment. Still no apology or explanation just a, " please call us to reschedule." I will be going somewhere else in the future.
