We are well-trained to care for diabetic eye disease, glaucoma, macular degeneration, and thyroid eye disease.
Our office offers comprehensive contact lens fitting, offering a diverse array of contact lens models and materials. We are highly trained for successful fitting of challenging "hard to fit" lenses, including multifocal "bifocal" lenses and contact lenses for high astigmatism. Our optical dispensary offers a diverse array of high quality frame styles for the entire family.
Your initial eye examination may include the following:
A high quality eye examination includes dilation of the eyes, which is necessary for all our new patients, unless medically contraindicated. The dilation typically lasts 4–6 hours and can result in blurring of your vision. It is recommended that a driver accompany you for your first appointment, particularly if you have never driven with dilated pupils. It is advisable that you bring your sunglasses with you to all of your eye examinations.
