comprehensive exams
Patients will receive acomprehensive eye exams, including specialty eye exams for diabetes and pediatric needs, as well as expanded diagnostic testing for early detection of serious eye conditions. Our doctors will perform tests to check your visual acuity, determine your prescription strength, examine how your eyes work together, and check the pressure in your eyes. Comprehensive eye exams are recommended yearly and children should get their first exam prior to schooling to assure their eyes are ready for learning.
contact lens exams
Our contact lens exam is done with a comprehensive exam at the same appointment or with an eyeglass prescription no older than 3 months. If you wear or want contacts, you need a contact lens exam in addition to a comprehensive eye exam. Our eye doctors will perform special tests during a contact lens exam to evaluate your vision with contacts. The first test will measure your eye surface to determine what size and type of contacts are best for you. With the results of those tests, our eye doctor can provide a contact lens prescription that is the right fit for your eyes.
An eyeglass prescription is no substitute for a contact lens exam because the two are very different. An eyeglass prescription measures for lenses that are positioned approximately 12 millimeters from your eyes; whereas a contact lens prescription measures for lenses that sit directly on the surface the eye. An improper fitting or prescription of contacts can damage the health of the eyes.
Our prices vary depending on the complexity of the fitting of contacts and our team will go over any questions or concerns patients may have.

Myopia control
- Coopervision MiSight Contact Lenses: To help slow the progression of myopia in children we also offer MiSight contact lenses by CooperVision. These revolutionary contact lenses are disposable contact lenses that not only correct your child’s vision but also slow down the progression of myopia in most children. These daily disposable lenses are easy to use, and because they are thrown away at the end of each day, there is a lower risk of infection and contamination.
- Progressive Addition Lenses: Progressive addition lenses provide vision correction for myopia on one seamless lens. This allows you to transition your gaze smoothly between objects at a distance and near with less strain without having to switch suddenly between two distinct prescriptions sections (like with bifocal lenses).
- Peripheral Defocus Lenses: Peripheral defocus lenses work to correct the peripheral hyperopic shift. Myopic eyeballs are not perfectly round, and some of the light that enters the eye focuses on the sides of the retina instead of on the back. The eyeball tries to correct for this and capture those errant rays, which causes it to become more elongated, causing myopia. Peripheral defocus lenses help ensure that the back of the retina can better capture those rays of light, reducing the progression of myopia over time.
