Services
Eye Exams
Our comprehensive eye exams include refraction testing, visual acuity assessment, and ocular health evaluation using advanced diagnostic equipment. Annual exams help detect early signs of systemic conditions like diabetes and hypertension while ensuring optimal vision correction. Our doctors provide detailed reports explaining eye health status and personalized recommendations for vision improvement.
Dry Eye Relief
Specialized dry eye treatment combines diagnostic testing with personalized therapy plans using IPL, LLLT, and amniotic membrane technology. Our dedicated Dry Eye Center addresses meibomian gland dysfunction and evaporative dry eye through evidence-based protocols that restore tear film stability and improve ocular comfort for long-term relief.
Retinal Screening
Optomap Retinal Exams create high-resolution digital images of the retina to detect early signs of glaucoma, macular degeneration, and diabetic retinopathy. This non-invasive scanning laser technology produces permanent medical records that track ocular changes over time, enabling proactive disease management and early intervention.
Contact Lens Fitting
Custom contact lens evaluations assess corneal topography and tear film dynamics to determine optimal lens materials and designs. Our practitioners specialize in fitting specialty lenses for complex prescriptions, astigmatism, and dry eye patients, ensuring comfortable vision correction tailored to individual lifestyle requirements and visual demands.
Cataract Co-management
Pre- and post-operative care for cataract surgery patients includes comprehensive evaluations, surgical planning, and recovery monitoring. We coordinate with ophthalmologists to ensure continuity of care, track visual improvements after lens replacement, and manage any complications during the healing process using advanced diagnostic tools.

Report
I would like to commend Stratton Eyes for their service and compassion. My aunt, due to illness, is no longer able to insert or remove her contacts. We went in today with no appointment, as she was having discomfort in one eye. She was taken back immediately and taken care of by a very kind technician. When he was not able to find the solution, Dr. Ko Took care of her personally. I appreciate their kindness to her. They remove and replace her contacts for her every month. The staff and doctors are the best!
