About Our Office
The office has state-of-the-art imaging equipment for the diagnosis and treatment of eye disease. We currently perform diagnostic testing for glaucoma, macular degeneration, dry eyes, retinal disease and various other ocular conditions. Many ocular diseases are treated here in the office. Contact lens fittings for lenses of all types are our specialty, including hard to fit lenses that correct for astigmatism, that are multifocal (distance, computer-range and reading), and scleral lenses for corneal diseases. We co-manage with LASIK and cataract specialists for those patients wanting or needing these services.
