Many eye conditions respond more effectively to treatment when detected in their early stages. Consequently, it is crucial to identify and address eye health and vision issues as promptly as possible. A comprehensive eye examination can unveil the presence of underlying causes for vision problems and signs of diseases that may compromise your eye health and overall well-being. In fact, a thorough eye exam can also serve as a diagnostic tool for various systemic conditions, including diabetes, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, tumors, cancer, autoimmune disorders, and thyroid disorders.

Specialist Eye Care Services

Don't delay your eye care any longer. Schedule an eye examination at any of our convenient locations with one of our skilled optometrists. Your ocular health and visual well-being are our top priorities. Explore our extensive list of specialist eye care services:

  • Glaucoma Assessment

    Glaucoma encompasses a group of conditions that can jeopardize the optic nerve, leading to vision loss and blindness. Although it is often associated with increased fluid pressure within the eyes, recent findings have demonstrated that it can also manifest with normal eye pressure. Early intervention can significantly safeguard your vision, making regular eye exams vital for its early detection.


    Our optometrists will assess your risk for glaucoma during a comprehensive dilated eye examination, including a visual field test to evaluate your peripheral vision.

  • Diabetic Retinopathy Evaluation

    Diabetic retinopathy, a common complication of diabetes, is a leading cause of blindness among adults. It is characterized by the progressive deterioration of the retinal blood vessels, which are essential for clear vision. Our dilated eye exam includes a thorough evaluation for diabetic retinopathy and other potential eye issues.

  • Ocular and Visual Migraine Assessment

    Ocular migraines, though rare, can result in temporary vision loss or blindness in one eye due to reduced blood flow or vessel spasms in the eye. A family history of migraine headaches is often linked to this condition. Our comprehensive examination covers ocular migraines and other eye concerns, ensuring your ocular health.

  • Macular Degeneration Screening

    Macular degeneration, often associated with aging, impairs central vision and is responsible for the loss of sharp visual details. Our eye doctors perform a comprehensive dilated eye examination to assess for macular degeneration and other eye conditions.

  • Cataract Evaluation

    Cataracts, the leading cause of blindness worldwide, cloud the eye's lens and can occur for various reasons. Our comprehensive eye exams incorporate cataract assessments, ensuring early detection and appropriate intervention.

  • Red Eye Assessment

    Red eyes, or bloodshot eyes, can result from numerous causes and may exhibit a range of symptoms, including irritation, pain, discharge, and sensitivity to light. Our experienced optometrists will perform a thorough evaluation of red or bloodshot eyes to determine the underlying issue and prescribe the necessary treatment.
