Our Medical Approach
Our practice has incorporated a medical model of care, which means we’ll not only focus on your vision prescription, but also on the innerworkings of your eye. Our optometrists are highly trained to spot sight-threatening conditions early during your exam, as well as manage them over time to keep your sight in great shape.

Comprehensive Eye Health Exams
The first step to better vision is through one of our comprehensive eye health exams. These exams involve taking a detailed look into the critical structures of your eyes to ensure they aren’t affected by disease. With our technology, we can also generate the ideal prescription for you so your eyewear can do everything you need it to, day in and day out.
Pediatric Eye Exams
Kids need a different approach to eye exams because of their developing eyes and constantly changing vision. In our pediatric eye health exams, we carefully check your child’s eyes and every aspect of their sight. This allows us to diagnose common issues like strabismus (crossed eyes), amblyopia (lazy eye), and myopia (nearsightedness).
Contact Lens Exams
Your contact lens prescription is different than that of your glasses, and we’ll find yours during one of our contact lens exams. These exams also allow us to check for eye conditions that can affect your contact lens use while also helping us find the perfect lenses for your eyes.
Eye Disease Management
In our 80 years of practice, we’ve helped countless patients preserve their sight by detecting and managing serious eye diseases as soon as possible. Because of our medical expertise, we can help preserve your vision for many years into your future, so you can focus on all the amazing things left to see.
Eyewear Options for Everyone
Our wide selection of glasses and contacts is all at your fingertips. All our eyewear will help you achieve crisp vision that helps make everyday tasks easier to see and your surroundings more defined. Whether you’re customizing the lenses of your glasses and sunglasses or reaping the lifestyle flexibility of contacts, we have you covered.
