Specialty Contact Lenses
Most patients are good candidates for contact lenses as long as they need to wear glasses all day in order to see clearly. In some cases, patients that are not good candidates for regular contact lenses may require specialty contact lenses.
Decorative contact lenses are also an option. These lenses are intended to change the color or appearance of the eye, and should only be obtained after an optometrist finds you are a good candidate for the cosmetic lenses.
Contact Lenses
Considering contact lenses? An optometrist can help you determine if contacts are the right optical solution for you. When it comes to contact lenses, there are actually several types that may be prescribed.
Most contacts are meant specifically to correct vision, while specific types may be used for the treatment of certain eye health conditions.
Glasses
Have trouble seeing clearly? You may need glasses to give you clearer vision. Working with an optometrist to determine what is affecting visual clarity and getting the right prescription eyeglasses can make a huge difference in how well you see.
We have glasses available to help people with many types of vision problems, including nearsightedness (myopia), farsightedness (hyperopia), and issues with central vision.

Visual Rehabilitation
Vision rehabilitation, often called vision rehab, is a therapy program designed to help individuals with vision loss regain independence and improve their quality of life.
Vision rehabilitation is particularly beneficial for those experiencing low vision, a condition where eyeglasses, contact lenses, or surgery can’t fully restore sight, making daily activities challenging.
Eye Disease Treatment
Our team of optometrists has extensive experience in diagnosing and treating eye diseases. We stay up-to-date with the latest advancements in eye disease treatment to provide you with the best possible treatment options.
We utilize state-of-the-art diagnostic tools to assess the health of your eyes and determine the most appropriate treatment plan for your unique needs.
Macular Degeneration
Age-related macular degeneration is a concerning eye condition that requires early diagnosis and management.
An optometrist can help you understand your risks of macular degeneration, achieve early diagnosis, and help with disease management.
Emergency Eye Care
Sometimes, protecting your vision will mean taking immediate action and seeking emergency eye care.
Eye health emergencies can involve a number of symptoms, but getting help as soon as possible can mean the difference in retaining your vision or avoiding permanent damage.
Cataracts
Cataracts are actually considered the worldwide leading root cause of adult blindness. Cataract causes the internal lens of the eye to become clouded. This change is related to a number of issues, including simply age and sunlight exposure.
Thankfully, cataract is a treatable eye disease; surgery can be done to replace the existing lens and restore vision.
Diabetic Eye Care
The American Diabetes Association (ADA) recommends that adults with Type 1 diabetes schedule a diabetic eye exam within five years of their initial diagnosis and once a year after that.
Those with Type 2 diabetes should schedule an exam immediately and visit the optometrist annually.
If you ever had an eye exam before your diabetes diagnosis, you will find that this exam is much the same with a few added tests.
Glaucoma
The group of eye diseases known as glaucoma affects the optic nerve of the eye with abnormal pressure of eye fluid.
There are two primary types of glaucoma: closed angle and open angle glaucoma. Both forms can lead to vision loss, but open-angle glaucoma is a slower-acting type of glaucoma.
Closed-angle glaucoma can lead to sudden loss of vision and should be addressed immediately by an eye health professional.
