Comprehensive Eye Exams
Routine eye exams are essential to maintaining long-term vision and eye health. During your visit, our optometrist will:
- Evaluate vision and update glasses or contact lens prescriptions
- Screen for eye diseases such as glaucoma, macular degeneration, and diabetic retinopathy
- Assess eye coordination and focusing ability
- Evaluate overall ocular health
Even if you are not experiencing vision changes, annual eye exams are recommended to detect concerns early.
Medical Eye Care
In addition to vision correction, we diagnose and manage a variety of medical eye conditions, including:
- Dry eye syndrome
- Conjunctivitis (pink eye)
- Allergic eye conditions
- Glaucoma
- Macular degeneration
- Diabetic eye disease
- Eye infections and inflammation
