Services
Comprehensive Eye Exams
Our comprehensive eye exams assess both vision correction needs and ocular health using advanced diagnostic tools. Dr. Jacobs evaluates eye health, prescribes corrective lenses, and screens for conditions like glaucoma and macular degeneration. This service includes patient education about preventive care and treatment options.
LipiFlow Treatment
LipiFlow treats Meibomian Gland Dysfunction by removing blockages in eyelid glands responsible for tear film stability. The 12-minute in-office procedure uses controlled heat and massage to restore natural oil production. This FDA-approved treatment addresses the root cause of evaporative dry eye symptoms.
Contact Lens Fittings
We provide customized contact lens fittings considering eye health, lifestyle, and prescription requirements. Our process includes trial lenses, comfort assessments, and instruction on proper lens care. We offer specialty lenses for astigmatism, presbyopia, and dry eye conditions.
Cirrus OCT Scans
Cirrus Optical Coherence Tomography creates high-resolution cross-sectional images of ocular tissues for early disease detection. This non-invasive scan identifies retinal abnormalities, glaucoma progression, and diabetic eye changes before symptoms appear. The technology enables precise monitoring of ocular health over time.
Pre-Surgical Consultations
Our pre-surgical evaluations determine LASIK/PRK candidacy through corneal mapping and eye health assessments. We conduct specialized tests beyond standard eye exams to ensure surgical safety and effectiveness. The consultation includes personalized recommendations for vision correction surgery.

The staff are all very pleasant and helpful. Spent close to an hour with Dr. Jacobs who was concerned that I might be in an early stage of glaucoma. I had a number of scans and it ended well. I also got some additional help for my dry eye syndrome. On my previous visit I got some new glasses. The tech who helped me was knowledgeable and helped me make a quick and informed decision. I highly recommend Champion Eye Center.

The entire staff was excellent including: the receptionist, the assistant who prepped for the exam, the optometrist (who gave me most comprehensive eye exam ever), the assistant who helped me select my frames and the receptionist who took my payment. The waiting room and the exam room was spotless and the interior space and decor is very warm and inviting. I highly recommend Champion Eye Center!

This establishment continues to impress me. The service is top notch! I've worked with Joel for a few months now and I'm coming on my 3rd pair of glasses. Joel answers all my questions and always shows a willingness to help me find the perfect pair of glasses. It's a stark difference from other vision centers. Thanks Joel and the rest of the team - never change!
