We follow AOA-recommended exam schedules and offer InfantSEE program screenings for free assessments between 6-12 months.

Quality of care leaves a lot to be desired considering the amount of money they charge. Add to that poor customer service. Never Again

This is the best eye exam we, myself, my wife and our son have ever had! The doctors were extremely thorough and answered all the questions I have never had answered. Our son has had issues with his prescriptions for years. He feels very confident in the description of why he never had the correct prescription after talking with the doctor. We are very happy with the service we received and we are waiting to get our glasses! They also have an excellent selection of frames!
