Services
Comprehensive Eye Exams
Our comprehensive eye exams use advanced technology to assess vision needs and detect ocular diseases like glaucoma and macular degeneration. We evaluate prescription accuracy and eye health, ensuring optimal vision correction and early intervention for medical conditions. Patients receive personalized recommendations for maintaining long-term eye health.
Contact Lens Fittings
We provide precise contact lens fittings tailored to individual eye shapes and vision requirements. Our optometrists recommend lenses that ensure comfort and clarity, including options for astigmatism, multifocal needs, and dry eyes. Follow-up evaluations ensure proper adaptation and eye health maintenance.
Emergency Eye Care
Jackson Eye Care offers 24/7 urgent care for eye injuries, infections, and sudden vision changes. Our team addresses conditions like corneal abrasions, chemical exposure, and acute glaucoma attacks. Prompt treatment minimizes risks and preserves vision, with after-hours charges significantly lower than ER fees.
Pediatric Eye Exams
We specialize in evaluating children's vision development, identifying issues like amblyopia or focusing disorders. Our exams assess eye coordination, depth perception, and visual acuity. Early detection ensures timely intervention, supporting academic performance and long-term visual health through age-appropriate care.
Medical Eye Evaluations
Our practice diagnoses and manages ocular diseases such as diabetic retinopathy, cataracts, and glaucoma. Using advanced imaging technology, we monitor progression and coordinate care with specialists when needed.

Really friendly staff and good experience. The practitioner is awesome and walked me through the cool technology he was using to show me everything, so that was a plus! Without insurance it didn't break the bank either.

These guys are awesome. Came from out of town on business and they took care me. I took some unrelated frustrations out on the receptionist, for which I'm sorry. If she reads this, she was very nice and professional, and unfortunately I wasn't. Hope she accepts my apology. Dr. Jackson was awesome. Details are important to me. He took his time answering my questions and I didn't feel rushed or like I was under time constraints.
I forgot I had mentioned to him we were taking the kids to a theme park the following week. When I called in for something later he remembered our conversation and asked how it was. Just a super nice guy, his staff as well. The whole team was great. Wish them all the best from the coast

Dr Jackson and his staff are top notch. Always friendly, great service and great eye care and advice. Affordable and available for extra help and questions too. I have gone to Dr Jackson for at least 10 years now and I wouldn't even think of using anyone else.

This office is the most loving professional experience! Dr. Jackson along with his staff always goes the extra mile to make me feel comfortable and secure. Dr. Jackson's knowledge and the way he explains things is extraordinary. He is very patient, and his staff is very cheerful. I would recommend Dr. Jackson to anyone. I found him after having some bad experiences with other clinics.

On my first visit to Jackson Eye Care (or any optometrist for 25+ years) Dr. Phan was great about answering all of the questions that I had. Will continue to go here in the future!

I had to let a lot of medical stress go during Covid. Eye care is essential, however, and being three inches away during an eye exam was something I was reluctant to do during the height of the pandemic. I've had eye difficulties since childhood, so approaching age 60 JUST TELL ME WHAT TO DO! Dr. Jackson has been vague, talking about eye pressure, prescribing more drops but never really said, "Do this or do that." Knowledge is power.
He's a nice guy, but I'd prefer to hear it straight. He also is associated with Walmart, and we do not shop there, for political reasons. In attempting to, three times, get my medical records transferred, for a second opinion, the gal at Dr. Jackson's desk played dumb and said, "She'd sent it already." Then I called the next day, confirmed the fax number, and they said they still hadn't received it. FYI. What's the deal? I'm trying to get a second opinion before I lose my sight. Wouldn't a concerned doctor be helping to find answers?

We had 3 appointments back to back. We were in and out in an hour and a half including ordering 3 corrective lenses. Very pleased with their efficiency, professionalism and customer service.
