Our expert eye specialists carefully measure and fit contact lens and eyeglass prescriptions for maximum comfort, visual acuity and health.
 
Services include: 
  • Routine eye exams
  • Family eye exams
  • Diabetic eye exams

  • Evaluation and treatment of Glaucoma and Dry Eye Syndrome
  • Evaluation and monitoring of Cataracts and Macular Degeneration

The department works to diagnose a host of diseases and common concerns related to the eye, and makes referrals to the Ophthalmology department when eye surgery might be needed.
 
Patients can also choose from the latest inventory of optical wear in our in-house optical shop, which is conveniently located on the same floor as the Optometry department.
