Services
Comprehensive Eye Exams
Our thorough eye examinations assess visual acuity, ocular health, and systemic disease indicators. Using advanced diagnostic tools like Optos retinal imaging, we detect conditions such as glaucoma, macular degeneration, and diabetes-related eye changes. The exams include prescription determination for glasses or contact lenses, with options for dilation or non-invasive retinal photography.
Dry Eye Treatment
Specialized dry eye evaluations identify root causes like Meibomian Gland Dysfunction. We offer Thermal 1-Touch treatments, customized eye drop regimens, and lifestyle recommendations. Our approach combines in-office procedures with home care solutions to improve tear quality and ocular surface health for lasting relief from dryness and irritation.
Contact Lens Fitting
We provide precise contact lens fittings for all prescriptions, including multifocal, toric, and scleral lenses. Our optometrists specialize in correcting astigmatism, presbyopia, and irregular corneas. The process includes trial lenses and follow-up assessments to ensure optimal comfort, vision clarity, and eye health with both daily wear and extended wear options.
Pediatric Eye Exams
Early childhood eye exams detect vision problems that affect learning and development. Our comprehensive assessments for infants and school-age children evaluate eye coordination, focusing ability, and visual acuity. We participate in the InfantSEE program, providing no-cost eye exams for infants to identify developmental vision issues before they impact learning.
Optical Boutique
Our optical boutique offers designer frames and advanced lens technology for superior vision correction. We feature Freeform lenses with customized digital surfacing for enhanced clarity. Services include sunglass tinting, anti-reflective coatings, and computer vision lenses. Our opticians assist with frame selection and lens customization to meet individual visual needs and lifestyle requirements.

Dr Sikes and his team are friendly, kind, professional, and also extremely patient (as when it took a number of visits to figure out the right contact lenses for me). I'm delighted to have discovered this optometrist!

I've never experienced such thorough diagnostics and sifting through many possibilities before working with Dr Gropper. She is so positive, patient and compassionate as well. I now have a solution to a complex eye issue and couldn't recommend this practice more highly!

Chapel Hill Eyecare was my original eye doctor when I lived in Carrboro and I had since moved back home (a little farther away) and went through a bad experience with another eye doctor in my area. Lydia was so quick to help me and instructed me how to contact my vision insurance so I could get my benefits reinstated. She was incredibly compassionate and helpful. Dr. Scott Sikes is a wonderful doctor, his dedication to his patients is unmatched and that shines through in how he treats everyone around him.
He confirmed my suspicions that my prescription was wrong and went to work to correct it. Emily helped me in picking up my glasses and she was great to work with as well, addressing any questions I had as well as assisting me with an adjustment. I highly recommend this office to anyone, it's well worth the drive. Thank you again everyone!

Dr. Sikes is wonderful and a very empathetic doctor! I had an issue with my eye over a weekend, and I was in a lot of pain. Dr. Sikes was able to see me for an emergency appointment that afternoon. Appreciate his willingness to help even after hours.

Today was my first visit. Very happy with everything. Everyone very friendly and helpful, every part of the exam was explained, not rushed. I plan to continue to go to them for all my eye care needs.
