- GlaucomaNo matter what your vision is like, an important part of maintaining great eye health is scheduling regular eye exams. We provide patients with thorough, comprehensive eye exams. These exams help us identify any changes in your eyesight and monitor existing conditions including glaucoma, myopia, and more. A routine exam also helps us determine your optical prescription and ensures you are maintaining your best eye health.

- Macular DegenerationMacular Degeneration is often unnoticeable in its early stages, and it generally progresses over time. As it develops, it causes vision loss and makes it harder to see fine details such as small print. It also results in vision distortion and some images will appear as if parts of them are missing. The macula is the part of the eye that controls the central field vision. When the macula is damaged, it reduces the central vision, while the peripheral vision remains the same.
