Routine Eye Exams
Routine eye exams are an important aspect of maintaining one's overall health. As with an annual physical or dental exam, it is extremely important to have your eyes examined regularly. Regardless of how great your eyesight is, scheduling regular eye exams is a great way to stay on top of your overall health.
Pediatric optometry
Pediatric optometry focuses on assessing and addressing the vision and eye health needs of children. This includes diagnosing and correcting refractive errors like nearsightedness and farsightedness, as well as treating conditions such as amblyopia (lazy eye) and strabismus (eye misalignment). Treatment may involve prescribing glasses or contact lenses, patching therapy, vision therapy exercises, or in some cases, eye muscle surgery. Our pediatric optometrists also educate parents about the importance of regular eye exams and proper eye care habits for children, and collaborate with other healthcare professionals to ensure comprehensive care. Early detection and intervention are crucial for optimizing a child's visual development and academic success.
Myopia Management
Myopia is a very common issue throughout the world. Approximately 1/3 of the population in the United States have the condition and over 90% of several East Asian countries suffer from myopia. While myopia may seem like such a common condition that it shouldn’t be cause for concern, it is actually associated with several very serious conditions that can threaten one’s ability to see.
Lasik/Refractive Consultations
If you are one of the thousands of people considering LASIK laser eye surgery, then you will probably be gathering as much information as possible about the treatment. By this point, you are probably aware of the benefits that LASIK offers, such as a reduced or eliminated need for glasses or contact lenses and greater convenience in your day to day life. However, for many patients, despite the advantages of LASIK, the thought of surgery on their eyes is still a cause of anxiety and fear. One of the best ways to alleviate this concern is to find out more about what the procedure entails.
Scleral Lenses
Many people rely on contact lenses to correct their refractive eye error and help them see the world around them clearly. However, this doesn’t make them right for everyone. In fact, there are several groups of people who have a hard time wearing regular contact lenses. Fortunately, this doesn’t necessarily mean that you can’t take advantage of the benefits of contacts. There is another type of lens designed for those patients who for whatever reason are unable to wear ordinary contacts comfortably. These are known as scleral lenses.
