Arthritis
Dry Eye is the disruption of a single or multiple components of the front tear layer of the eye. Tearing, burning, redness, and fluctuating vision are common symptoms of Dry Eye. Dryness could be secondary to underlying systemic medical conditions such as Sjogrens Syndrome, Systemic Lupus Erythematosus, and Rheumatoid Arthritis.

Primary Care
Diabetes and high blood pressure can result in changes to the back of the eye, causing a change in patient's prescription. Our doctors will examine by dilation then forward the exam results to your primary care/co-managing doctor.

Ophthalmologists

Glaucoma
January is all about Glaucoma! We are joining the conversation to raise awareness around this sight stealing disease so our patients can stay vigilant with a proper diagnosis and treatment. Let’s keep your eyes healthy this year!
Macular Degeneration
Macular Degeneration happens when central vision is distorted and blurred. Our doctors will use diagnostic dilation drops as well as OCT for proper evaluation. Patients can help prevent Macular Degeneration by using UV Sunglasses, maintaining a healthy lifestyle and not smoking.
Laser Eye Surgery
LASIK/ PRK (and in years past, Radial Keratectomy (RK)) are surgical procedures performed to correct your prescription and eliminate the need for full time glasses or contact lens wear. Even after surgery, the eyes need to be examined to ensure maintenance of ocular health and stability. We offer this for patients, which includes a letter sent to your surgeon with examination findings of each annual visit.
Cataracts
Cataracts are the clouding of the crystalline lens inside the eye and are a normal maturation of the internal lens. Symptoms are blurred or dimmed vision, halos and glare that become worse at night, or needing additional bright light when reading.
Eye Exam
The American Optometrist Association (AOA) recommends first eye examination at 6 months and again before starting Kindergarten. Why?
