Welcome to our practice. We are happy that you selected us as your eye care provider and appreciate the opportunity to help you and your family with all your eye care and eyewear needs.

During your first visit, our doctors will perform a comprehensive eye examination. Regular eye exams are important in helping you maintain good vision and can detect a number or serious health conditions such as glaucoma and diabetes plus a number of conditions that can go undetected. Plus eye exams for children and young adults can spot problems that can impact learning and development.

An important addition to our exam is our Optomap retinal screening. This is a part of our compressive exam and a comfortable and effective means for examining your retina. As a new and even existing patient this photo can often times reduce the need to dilate your eyes. Each time we take your photo we can compare year to year which enables us to detect even the slightest changes that could have long term effects. We have found pathology that is a challenge to find under a dilated eye. Usually there is a very small fee involved for this image, but most patients find it as a significant value.
