Comprehensive Eye Health Exams
At Bard Optical, we’re known for our thorough, comprehensive eye health exams. Our eye care professionals will take their time to understand you and your vision needs as they examine the delicate structures inside of your eyes. And if we detect any conditions that might pose a threat to your vision, we’ll personalize a plan for you to ensure your vision is always protected.
Pediatric Eye Health Exams
Our “Vision for Life” philosophy means caring for patients of all ages. With our pediatric eye health exams, we’ll make sure your little ones grow up with clear, comfortable vision that lasts by screening for age-specific conditions. If we find anything out of the ordinary, we’ll craft a plan that keeps their vision in great shape.
Contact Lens Exams
We want to make sure your corrective lenses are as visually precise as they are comfortable. During a contact lens exam, we take detailed measurements of your eyes to get an accurate prescription and assessment of your eye health to determine which lenses will work best for you. Our eye doctors are well versed in contact lens fittings and will recommend the right size, style, and brand of lenses for your specific needs.
Eye Disease Management
Using advanced technology, our team can detect even the earliest signs of eye diseases that can affect your sight and quality of life, like glaucoma or age-related macular degeneration (AMD). If we identify any cause for concern, we’ll personalize a plan to proactively treat these conditions — before they can impact your vision.
Eyewear Options for Everyone
Each of our patients has a unique fashion sense, and we believe their eyewear should complement it! We’re proud to carry a large variety of frame styles, and our opticians will help you find the perfect pair that matches your personality, budget, and lens preferences.
