Services
Comprehensive Eye Exams
Our comprehensive eye exams evaluate both vision quality and eye health using advanced diagnostic technology. These exams detect vision changes and identify early signs of ocular diseases like glaucoma and macular degeneration. Our optometrists recommend annual exams to maintain optimal eye health and ensure timely intervention for any developing conditions.
Contact Lens Exams
Contact lens exams include specialized measurements for proper lens fit and comfort. We evaluate corneal curvature, tear film quality, and pupil/iris size to determine the best lens options. Our optometrists help patients select from daily disposables, monthly lenses, and specialty designs for conditions like astigmatism and dry eyes.
Glaucoma Management
We provide early detection and ongoing management of glaucoma through regular screenings and pressure monitoring. Treatment options include medicated eye drops, laser therapy, and surgical referrals when necessary. Our team educates patients about risk factors and helps manage this progressive condition to preserve vision.
Dry Eyes Treatment
Our dry eye treatments address symptoms like burning, redness, and blurred vision through personalized care plans. Options include lubricating drops, lifestyle modifications, and advanced therapies like punctal plugs or LipiFlow treatment. We identify underlying causes such as medication side effects or environmental factors to provide lasting relief.
Macular Degeneration Care
We offer early detection and management strategies for age-related macular degeneration using advanced imaging technology. Treatment focuses on slowing disease progression through nutritional supplements, lifestyle changes, and low-vision aids. Our optometrists monitor patients regularly to adjust care plans as needed.

Dr. Shelby Henderson is amazing. She's super cool and knows her stuff. She performs my FAA pilot eye exam every 2 years, updates my vision prescriptions and treated a viral eye infection that had me really worried. I'm not one who posts many recommendations, but she is worthy of this one.

The tech handled my sons face roughly and didn't explain anything she was going to do. The doctor was rude and unhelpful.

Report
I was trying to switch brands between contacts and they did not follow up with me very well. Left a message complaining about my experience, got a call back almost 3 MONTHS later apologizing and trying to work with me. Three months is too long for something so important. I gave them 3 stars because I didn't want to be too harsh.
