Eye Examinations
We believe eye examinations are essential for maintaining good health. These exams assess not only your vision but also detect underlying medical conditions. Our comprehensive eye exams include multiple tests, such as autorefractor measurements, tonometry to check for glaucoma, and digital retinal photography to monitor the health of your eyes. Our optometrists use advanced tools to examine every aspect of your eye health.

Here’s what you can expect:

1. The Autorefractor: This test determines your prescription by measuring how light reflects through the eye. It’s quick and painless.
2. The Tonometer: This small device releases a puff of air to measure the internal pressure in your eyes and check for glaucoma.
3. Digital Retinal Photography: We take a photograph of the back of your eye to examine its internal health and track any changes over time.
4. The Retinoscope: We shine light into your eye to assess the reflection from your retina, which is especially helpful for children or those who struggle to explain their vision.
5. The Phoropter: This machine tests your vision with different lens strengths, helping us determine the clearest vision for both near and distant objects.
6. The Ophthalmoscope: We use this tool to examine your retina, optic nerve, and retinal blood vessels.
7. The Slit Lamp: This microscope allows us to inspect the front surface of your eye, checking for any imperfections, especially important if you wear contact lenses.

Eye Health Conditions
We diagnose and treat various eye health conditions, from common refractive errors like astigmatism to more serious conditions such as cataracts, glaucoma, and diabetic retinopathy. Our experienced optometrists provide the best care for both routine and complex eye conditions.

Hearing Services
We offer hearing services at selected stores. Our hearing tests are non-invasive and take approximately 40 minutes. During your visit, our audiologists conduct tests to determine your hearing loss and recommend suitable hearing aids if needed. You can test hearing aids the same day and make an informed decision about your needs. We schedule a follow-up appointment to ensure the aids are working well.
