Having 20/20 vision doesn’t necessarily mean your eyes are healthy. Many serious eye conditions, such as glaucoma, macular degeneration, and diabetic retinopathy, can develop quietly without noticeable symptoms. Our skilled optometrists use the latest diagnostic technology to catch issues early, often before they impact your vision, so you can stay ahead of potential problems and keep seeing clearly for years to come.

Review of your health & vision history

We perform refraction testing to measure your prescription accurately, ensuring clear and comfortable vision. 

Digital retinal imaging

A digital retinal exam provides ultra-widefield images of your retina, allowing us to detect early signs of retinal disease without dilation in many cases.  

Optical coherence tomography (OCT)

OCT offers high-resolution, cross-sectional images of your retina, aiding in the early detection of conditions like macular degeneration and diabetic retinopathy.

We conduct a detailed examination of the front and back of your eyes, checking for signs of cataracts, retinal issues, dry eye, and more.
