Comprehensive Eye Exams
Our detailed eye exams assess visual acuity, detect ocular diseases like glaucoma and macular degeneration, and evaluate overall eye health. Using advanced diagnostics, we identify vision changes and systemic health indicators through retinal analysis. Recommended annually for all ages, these exams ensure early detection of conditions affecting vision and general wellness.
Myopia Management
Specialized programs slow childhood nearsightedness progression through treatments like atropine therapy and orthokeratology. These evidence-based approaches reduce risks of future eye diseases while improving current visual clarity. Regular monitoring ensures optimal treatment effectiveness and adaptation to individual patient needs.
Dry Eye Treatment
Customized solutions address tear film imbalances causing dry eye symptoms. Treatments include prescription drops, lid hygiene protocols, and advanced therapies targeting meibomian gland dysfunction. Our approach focuses on restoring ocular surface health and preventing long-term complications from chronic dryness.
Cataract Surgery Co-Management
Pre- and post-operative care for cataract surgery patients includes diagnostic testing, treatment planning, and recovery monitoring. We coordinate with surgical specialists to ensure optimal visual outcomes using premium intraocular lens options and personalized rehabilitation strategies.
Pediatric Eye Care
Kid-friendly exams assess developmental vision needs and detect learning-related visual issues. Our 'KidCare' program includes interactive evaluations and prize incentives to create positive eye care experiences while ensuring accurate diagnosis and treatment of childhood vision conditions.

Atkinson Eye Care has been wonderful to work with. They worked with me until I was fully satisfied with my glasses and contacts. When I was not totally happy with the color of my new frames, they allowed me to change it to a different color at no extra charge. Brandy and Meg were so very helpful with everything, and Dr. Jay was super.

I went to Dr. Atkinson's office to get an eye exam and to get new frames for my glasses. Brandi took care of me and she was awesome. She was most helpful in picking out new frames for me. She was so kind and patient with me as well Love her! Dr. Bill is the best! I have been going to him for many years. Always a wonderful visit. He is always so kind and caring. Cannot say enough good things about their office.

Our low vision specialist was unavailable and Meg at Atkinson Eyecare encourage my disabled brother to come in and see what couldn't be done in the absence of his regular care! It was amazing! Meg was able to hear him and create solid solutions! Thanks for caring for everyone! I have been using Atkinson Eyecare for about 10 years and my brother still needs his separate care, but WOW! Thanks again so very much! Every staff with or without the doctors knows their trade and work for solutions! #1 They just care!

Cindy was so very helpful in picking out just the right frames that would be best for my prescription. My new glasses look great and I'm very happy with the results! Just picked up my new prescription sunglasses. Once again, Cindy helped me pick out a great frame and I took advantage of the discount price for my second pair. I've been going to Atkinson for many, many years and this current experience was one of the best!

Everyone was so wonderful and helpful for my exam and glasses. Brandy was especially helpful when it came to picking the right frames for my face, the add ins for the lenses (especially the color and mirroring on my sunglasses, I had no idea there were so many types). I love love love all 3 pairs I got!
