OUR SERVICES

Comprehensive Eye Care

From the simple to the complex - Team oriented care

Our doctors give the very best in eye care utilizing the most advanced instrumentation for diagnosis of eye disease. We evaluate the entire visual system and assess for conditions related to diabetes, hypertension and a host of other systemic diseases.

 

We work as part of the team with families, social services, nursing and primary care doctors to ensure that patients get the best and most complete care possible and we're always available for after-hours calls and problems from the nursing staff.

Our doctors have the experience and knowledge to manage all eye conditions such as glaucoma, macular degeneration, cataracts, retinopathy and a wide variety of other conditions.  

We also utilize the most advanced care available including amniotic stem cell therapy for corneal rehabilitation, punctal occlusion for advanced dry eye and the latest in electrodiagnostic testing such as Visually Evoked Potentials and Electroretinograms as well as utilizing optical coherence tomography to better detect abnormalities that can't be seen in a regular examination!

Eyeglass fittings

The best in materials from caring doctors

When our doctors determine that glasses will enhance the quality of life for our patients, we have frames right there on site and our doctors provide hands-on assistance to help the residents pick just the right glasses for them! 

 

We even laser engrave their names into the glasses!

Our team recognizes that even a small improvement in vision can make all the difference in the world for our patients.  Things most people take for granted like being able to watch TV, play bingo or even see their food are hurdles we can help even the most non-verbal patient overcome and make their lives better in small and big ways!

Documentation

We make caring for your residents easier then ever

At every visit, not only do our doctors provide a comprehensive report to help you meet your state requirements and convey information to families, we provide detailed prescription information for medications to help the nursing staff.

Basically, we exist to help make both the lives our patients AND the folks charged with their care the best they can be!
