Customized eye care
Your eyes are unique, and so is our approach to your care. During our exams, we not only assess your vision but also consider your medical history, lifestyle, and vision goals, allowing us to develop a customized treatment plan to suit your needs. We are here to assist you, whether you need pediatric eye care, a free InfantSEE® exam for a child aged 6 to 12 months, or a contact lens fitting for hard-to-fit cases like astigmatism, dry eyes, or keratoconus.

Dry eye diagnosis & treatment
In many cases, dry eye doesn’t go away, and it can even get worse. When your dry eye symptoms persist or worsen, it’s important to seek professional help. Our eye doctors offer in-office procedures and more advanced options when dry eye syndrome does not respond to other treatments.


Protect your child’s future eye health
Are you concerned about your child’s myopia (nearsightedness)? Our myopia management program is designed to slow myopia progression, which can reduce the risk of future vision issues. We provide personalized solutions to support your child’s vision as they grow.

Eye disease management
Our comprehensive exams are key to catching eye conditions early. From glaucoma and macular degeneration to diabetic eye disease and cataracts, we’re equipped to detect potential issues. If we identify a concern, we’ll create a customized treatment plan to address your needs and protect your vision.
