Services

Routine vision and medical eye care is provided at all of our eye care centers. If you wear glasses or are in need of a comprehensive eye and vision examination, or if you have symptoms such as blurred vision, burning or itching eyes, watery eyes, redness in the eyes, headaches, flashes of light, double vision, or other symptoms that concern you, our primary eye care service doctors will provide the needed evaluation and treatment.
 
A comprehensive eye examination includes an assessment of vision as well as an evaluation of ocular health. A battery of tests is performed to assess visual function. With that information, the doctor determines the best spectacle or contact lens prescription for each patient, if corrective lenses are necessary. During the ocular health evaluation, the doctor will measure intraocular pressure and thoroughly examine your eyes with dilation. Dilating the pupils allows the doctor to detect problems or disease processes such as cataracts, glaucoma, diabetic retinopathy, or macular degeneration. You may be referred to one of our specialty services if your needs require it.
 
Types of Payment Accepted
We accept cash, personal checks, ATM, MasterCard, Visa, American Express and Discover.

We participate with most insurance companies including Medicare. Keep in mind that most vision insurance is handled by a specialized company that is separate from your medical insurance company. Your vision insurance covers only routine vision exams.  Your medical insurance covers medical visits for conditions such as eye infections, glaucoma, cataracts, etc.  Please have your insurance information and ID number available when calling for an appointment. We will be able to help with the information you will need at that time.

Children’s Eyes
When to Examine Children's Eyes?

Do you have children? Have they had an eye examination within the past two years? Ever?

If not, then they are certainly due for a checkup. In fact, the American Optometric Association (AOA) recommends that children have their first complete vision evaluation before they are 6 months old! Obviously, the examination of an infant's vision is much different than the examination of an adult, but many eye and vision problems can be detected at this early age.

The AOA also recommends that children have a vision evaluation at age 3 and age 5.
Despite this recommendation, studies show that fewer than 15 percent of children entering kindergarten have ever had a formal eye exam.
This special population needs special care. Regular, routine eye and vision evaluations are a vital part of this care.
 
Vision develops significantly after birth. Newborns will only react to objects that are large, bold, and close to them. New techniques for examining infants have been developed over the last 20 years. Specialists who have been trained in these techniques are now able to complete many components of the adult examination in an infant examination. This enables us to not only detect blurred vision in an infant, but also make sure that an infant's vision will develop well during childhood.

It is important to realize that children may not be aware that they have a vision problem, and may not complain to parents or teachers despite an existing problem. Lazy eye and nearsightedness, two very common vision conditions in children, often exist without symptoms. Only with an examination by an eye care specialist can these conditions be found and properly treated.

Parents should be aware of symptoms that may indicate that a child has a vision or visual processing problem. Be sure to tell an optometrist if a child frequently

Studies indicate that 60 percent of children identified as "problem learners" actually suffer from undetected vision problems. According to the AOA's American Eye-Q® survey, only 39 percent of adults understand that behavioral problems can be an indication of vision problems.

Early detection and treatment provide the very best opportunity to treat and correct vision problems to help children see clearly. The AOA recommends that a child's first eye exam take place at six months of age. Unless problems are detected, the next exam should be at age three, and then every two years once a child begins school. Unfortunately, the Eye-Q® survey showed that 57 percent of children did not receive their first eye exam until age five or older.

So... if your child has not had a recent examination, make an appointment soon. Remember, we all have only one set of eyes, and proper care of this precious gift starts at an early age.
