highest level of service as we try our hardest to make you feel
at home. Browse through our services and if you have any more questions,
please, don't hesitate to ask.
Primary Eye Care
We do more than check whether you need contacts or glasses. Our practice is dedicated to maintaining the overall health of your eyes. An annual visit to your optometrist is an important part of preventative eye care. Your optometrist can detect eye problems in their early stages. Early detection of eye problems more severe than vision corrections is crucial because often symptoms do not appear to the patient until vision is permanently damaged.

Contact Lenses and Glasses
Our office is designed to care for the vision needs of each family member
from beginning to end. After a thorough eye exam and determining
which corrective measure best meets your vision and lifestyle needs,
you can pick out your new eyewear and we will fill the prescription.
If you decide on glasses, our office has a wide selection of frames
to choose from with something for everyone. We carry contemporary
and traditional frame styles, as well as specialty frames like sun
or sports glasses. To best fill your prescription, we have every
type of lens available. If you decide on contact lenses, we also
carry full lines of soft, gas permeable, disposable, and colored
contact lenses.
Some frame and lens manufacturers we carry include:
Carl Zeiss | Marchon | Maui
Jim | Oakley | Varilux
Advanced Technology
We are now offering digital retinal photography to all our patients.
We use a 6.2 megapixel digital camera to photograph the blood vessels,
macula, and optic nerve on the inside of the eye. This picture gives
us an extremely accurate reference point to use in the future to
monitor for changes such as diabetes, glaucoma, macular degeneration,
and high blood pressure.
After the picture is taken, a photo comes up on the computer,
and we can immediately review the results with you.
Eye Disease and Special Testing
Everyone should have regular eye examinations. Ocular health encompasses more than contacts or glasses. Early detection of eye disease is critical to successful treatment. By the time symptoms of many diseases actually occur, the patient may already have permanent vision loss. Regular eye exams by our optometrist ensure that any health threat to vision is detected and appropriate measures are taken. A patient need not have a history of poor vision to suffer from an eye disease. Several diseases, such as glaucoma or macular degeneration, left untreated will irreversibly damage vision.
Headaches, a reduced or foggy field of vision, floaters or flashes in your vision, and eye strain can be indicators of a more serious vision problem. Please call our office immediately to schedule an appointment.

Children's Vision
Infants and young children require unique methods for evaluating eye health, clarity of vision, and eye coordination. Infants and children from birth through age six are evaluated for proper development of visual skills. The American Optometric Association recommends that infants receive their first vision examination at six months. Vision screenings and examinations are essential for infants and young children in identifying and correcting vision and eye health disorders that may hinder the learning process.
