Evaluation and treatment of primary eye diseases (i.e., infection, glaucoma, etc.) and of eye diseases secondary to disease of the rest of the body (i.e., diabetes, high blood pressure, etc.).

Emergencies

We provide emergency care for serious accidents and acute problems. During regular office hours, emergencies will be worked into the schedule. On evenings and weekends, our phones are answered and a doctor is always available.

Routine Eye Examinations

Routine eye examinations are provided to both adults and children in order to determine whether any eye disease or any general disease affecting the eye is present. This examination includes measurement of visual acuity, refraction (determination of need for glasses), evaluation of the cornea and lens (for cataract), measurement of the intraocular pressure (for glaucoma) and dilation of the pupil for evaluation of the retina, blood vessels and optic nerve.

The diagnosis of any disease found is discussed and any necessary treatment (medical or surgical) is instituted. A prescription for spectacles is given when necessary.

We suggest a routine examination annually for adults. A child's first examination should be by age 3 since amblyopia (lazy eye), if present, is more successfully treated at a very young age.
