Services
Comprehensive Eye Exam
Our thorough eye exams assess visual acuity, screen for common diseases, and evaluate eye health using advanced diagnostic technology. Doctors check for conditions like glaucoma and diabetic retinopathy while updating corrective lens prescriptions. The exam includes pupil dilation for detailed retina examination and is recommended annually for most patients.
Contact Lens Exam
This specialized exam includes all comprehensive exam elements plus precise contact lens fitting. Doctors evaluate corneal shape and tear film quality to determine optimal lens type and size. Patients receive trial lenses and training on proper insertion, removal, and care techniques for safe, comfortable wear.
Diabetic Eye Exam
Annual dilated eye exams specifically for diabetic patients detect early signs of retinopathy. Using retinal imaging technology, doctors monitor blood vessel changes and recommend interventions to prevent vision loss. These exams are covered by medical insurance and include coordination with primary care physicians.
Glaucoma Management
Our glaucoma specialists monitor intraocular pressure and optic nerve health through regular visual field testing and OCT imaging. Treatment plans may include medicated eye drops, laser therapy, or surgical referrals. Patients receive detailed education on medication adherence and disease progression prevention.
Emergency Eye Care
Same-day appointments address sudden vision changes, eye pain, foreign objects, and infections. Our team provides immediate treatment for conditions like conjunctivitis and corneal abrasions. After-hours emergencies are triaged by phone to determine appropriate care urgency.

Report
After my husband had a great experience getting safety glasses for work here, we decided to switch to them for our regular eye care. The staff was very nice and the doctor was able to give me information about an issue with one eye that I was born with that no one had ever told me about before! The staff was super helpful in helping us pick out new frames, being genuinely excited for the style and color we picked just as much as we were!

They take almost all insurance. My insurance with them covered my entire eye exam. Also, they offer lenses and frames at reduced/wholesale prices. They're prices are better than even my vision plan! Also, their customer service is excellent. No hassle scheduling. On-time appts. Dr. Aumage even recommended an eye drop that whitens the cornea! Would recommend them to anyone looking for an affordable but quality eyeglasses store.
