Here at Eye Care Professionals, we know how important proper eye care is. We are dedicated to providing the highest level of service so you can have the vision you deserve.

We truly believe in routine eye examinations so that you can see as clearly as possible. Once you have to get glasses or contacts, it is even more important to watch the health of your eyes. You also need routine checks to ensure your prescription has not changed.

To ensure good eye health and vision, we are very proud to offer the following services:

Comprehensive Eye Exams

On average, we recommend scheduling an appointment once every two years to ensure your eyes are remaining healthy. If you have been diagnosed with an eye condition, however, we recommend scheduling an appointment once or twice a year depending on the severity.

During your appointment, we will review your patient history, visual acuity, perform preliminary tests, and evaluate your eyes’ overall health.

Contact Lenses

Nowadays, most people prefer to wear contacts instead of glasses. If you are interested in contact lenses, please let your eye doctor know prior to your appointment. During your exam, we will discuss the various contact lenses available and determine the best option based on your individual needs and lifestyle.

IPL & Low Light Therapy

IPL uses gentle pulses of light to treat the underlying causes of dry eye. It’s a painless procedure done in an optometrist’s office.

IPL targets the skin around the eyes, reducing inflammation and any bacterial growth in the area around your eyes. The light helps break the buildup of oil or other debris blocking the meibomian glands that produce oil for tears.

Hard To Fit Contact Lenses

Do you find wearing contact lenses impossible? Are your regular contacts painful or constantly uncomfortable? You are not alone. Due to a variety of factors such as individual eye shape, specific conditions, impairments, or the aftermath of surgery, some patients are considered to have more difficulty wearing contacts than others.

LASIK Co-Management

LASIK stands for laser in-situ keratomileusis and is a popular surgery to correct vision problems. LASIK can help people who are nearsighted or farsighted, as well those who have astigmatism.

LASIK works by reshaping the cornea with a laser, which allows light to be correctly focused onto the retina. A laser is used to create a small flap in the cornea, which is peeled back so another laser can reshape the cornea. The flap is then placed back and the surgery is complete.

Digital ocular photography is offered at Eye Care Professionals. Photos can be taken of any disease or pathology of the front of the eye and inside the eye on the retina. Many eye problems can develop without warning and with no symptoms or change in vision. With newer advances in technology and a thorough eye exam of the retina diseases such as macular degeneration, glaucoma, retinal tears and detachments, diabetes, and high blood pressure, can be detected.

OCT (Optical Coherence Tomography)

The OCT is a non-invasive advanced technology imaging test that uses light waves to take a cross section image of your retina. This device can photograph each distinct layer of your retina. The OCT can also scan an image of your optic nerve, corneal thickness, anterior chamber angle, vault of scleral contact lenses and much more.

The OCT is very helpful in the diagnosis and management of many retinal disorders and diseases including: macular degeneration, macular holes, epiretinal membranes, posterior vitreous detachments, and glaucoma just to name a few.
