Services
LASIK Surgery
Our LASIK procedures use wavefront-guided technology and the VISX Star S4 IR excimer laser for precise vision correction. Patients receive personalized surgical plans addressing nearsightedness, farsightedness, and astigmatism. With 98% of patients achieving 20/20 vision, our certified surgeons perform over 30,000 procedures annually using the latest refractive techniques.
Cataract Treatment
We offer comprehensive cataract management from early detection to surgical intervention with premium intraocular lenses. Our ophthalmologists use advanced diagnostics to monitor progression and determine optimal timing for lens replacement, restoring clear vision through minimally invasive procedures performed at our specialized centers.
Dry Eye Therapy
Our dry eye specialists employ tear film analysis and meibomian gland evaluation to create customized treatment plans. Options include artificial tears, prescription medications, and in-office procedures targeting underlying causes of chronic dryness and irritation for lasting relief.
Contact Lens Fitting
We provide comprehensive contact lens exams and fittings for standard, toric, multifocal, and specialty lenses. Our optometrists ensure proper fit and comfort while offering brands ranging from daily disposables to extended wear options for patients with complex prescriptions.
Eye Exams
Our comprehensive eye exams assess visual acuity, eye health, and systemic conditions affecting vision. Using digital retinal imaging and advanced diagnostic tools, we detect early signs of glaucoma, macular degeneration, and diabetic retinopathy while determining optimal corrective lens prescriptions.

They get you in and out quickly. Barely any waiting and the girls in there are very nice and helped me pick out some new frames and helped with all of the warranty and price. They were great!

The doctor was so knowledgeable and helpful. He discovered my prescription from another place was off. He offered me better contact lenses and worked with me to see clearly up close which my last eye place didn't do. Great experience.

I don't remember the last time I was treated this badly at any business. The manager was curt and sarcastic. On my way out, I had a food emergency at my car. Sushi flew everywhere, and I was trying to get it all out of the car in a pile before taking it to the garbage. The manager came out--at first I thought to help out, as I was dripping with food. Nope--she was there to tell me what an awful person I was for making such a scene in front of her store. I literally couldn't believe it. I will never shop here again, and neither will anyone I know.

This location is superb! Very clean office and very professional staff. The staff was so helpful with getting us in for the appointment. They called our insurance and helped us complete the appointment and costs. 5 stars for this location and the staff. Not so much for the one doctor. It is great to know that others and their children had awesome visits with Dr. Lynn Stromness. Maybe he had a bad day when we went.
I don't know but his visit with my son was not great. Very annoying and rude if I must say. I let my kid know that this is the world we live in. Not everyone will be nice. Just be respectful and kind. Do not hesitate to book an appointment here though. You might get a better experience than we did!
