Services
Comprehensive eye exams
Our thorough eye exams use advanced diagnostic technology to assess vision quality and eye health. We evaluate refractive errors, intraocular pressure, and retinal health while providing personalized education about your eye condition. These exams help detect early signs of eye diseases like glaucoma and macular degeneration, as well as systemic health issues that may manifest through eye symptoms.
Contact lens fittings
We offer specialized contact lens fittings including Ortho-k and scleral lenses for complex vision needs. Our optometrists use corneal topography to ensure proper lens fit and provide training on insertion, removal, and care. We carry the latest contact lens brands and offer trial lenses to ensure optimal comfort and vision correction for each patient.
Ortho-k lenses
Our Ortho-k treatment uses custom gas-permeable lenses worn overnight to temporarily reshape the cornea. This non-surgical solution corrects mild myopia and slows its progression in children. We provide comprehensive fitting, follow-up assessments, and ongoing management to ensure safe and effective vision correction without daytime lenses or surgery.
Scleral contact lenses
We specialize in scleral lenses for irregular corneas and conditions like Keratoconus. These large-diameter lenses vault over the cornea, creating a fluid reservoir that improves vision and comfort. Our fitting process uses advanced corneal mapping to create customized lenses that provide stable vision correction for patients with complex eye conditions.
Eye disease diagnosis
Our practice provides early detection and management of eye diseases including glaucoma, cataracts, and diabetic retinopathy. Using OCT imaging and visual field testing, we monitor disease progression and coordinate care with specialists when needed. We emphasize preventative care and patient education to preserve vision and slow disease development.

I got an eye exam done last year during a really busy time at my job. I wasn't able to get child care for my appointment so I brought along my toddler. The assistant that did my initial tests before I saw the doctor was WONDERFUL. She was kind, empathetic towards my nervousness about my child etc. if she was my actual doctor I would have been so happy. The actual doctor was cold, distant and rude.
She made uncomfortable faces towards my daughter and offered no signs of empathy. I apologized profusely sensing her attitude and she just turned her lip up in silence like a robot. I was talked into making a follow up appointment when I really didn't want to due to being super busy and I ended up missing it. She charged me for missing the appointment. I didn't receive any notification that I owed money via email or call until I got a letter in the mail for it being 120 days overdue. The absolute worst experience with an eye doctor I have ever had. I would never rebook or continue to go to this location. Beware.

I am tired of calling and asking this business to return my calls. While things went well, all was great, but the moment I had a question I was given conflicting answers. The co-owner of the business has not returned my call in 6 business days. I did not receive my prescription during my last visit, I asked that it be e-mailed and I still don't have it. My exam was on Nov 2nd. During the eye exam I noticed that my right eye vision was "milky, " and I separated my face from the instrument only to find out it was poorly cleaned so I cleaned it myself with the eye doctor in presence.
I started going here because it was close, convenient and had decent reviews. It all went well while there were no problems. The moment there was one, I am being avoided. I don't recommend this business and they can't get me back. I just want my prescription and I am going elsewhere.

I came in yesterday with my frame broken and bent out of shape after it had been stepped on during a camping trip. Within 20 minutes they reattached the temple piece, bent everything back into shape, and let me walk out wearing my glasses again! Excellent and friendly service everytime I have visited!

First visit with their office and found them to be focused on the current virus concerns which is comforting. Dr Susannah Lee is very competent and professional, now our family eye care specialist! 100% recommended.

I've been going to Barnes Professional Eye Care for several years. I found the previous optometrists and the other staff excellent and I can report that my first encounter with Dr. Sabahi was also excellent. She was very good at fine tuning my eyeglass prescription. They dispense high end eyeglasses and the prices reflect that fact but the quality of both the lenses and frames are top notch.

I decided to come based on the rave reviews here - and now want to add mine. Great staff, very friendly, very caring Dr. Schissler - they helped me chose a frame within my price range - the glasses fit great, look great, best of all, they work great! First time I ever got a prescription so perfect - Highly recommend this office!

The staff is friendly and professional, the office is attractive but not intimidatingly fancy, and Dr. Stasik is great! He was prompt and easy to talk to, and he walked me through each part of the exam, explaining what each test pertained to and the science behind it (I'm curious and always like to know the details). He also gave me helpful general advice about how to get the family ready for eye exams and when to bring them - I asked since I have a few small children, and it was very informative.
Their selection of frames is wonderful. Not the cheapest in town, for sure, but there seemed to be a decent price range. They even ordered a few colors of the frames I liked so I could try each one and make a final decision when my lenses were ready. That was a pleasant surprise, and I really felt they went the extra mile to make sure I had the exact glasses I wanted.
