Routine eye and vision 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.
