FAQ

Our exams are designed to be both comprehensive and highly personalized. We go beyond a basic prescription to evaluate eye health, visual performance, and how your vision supports your daily life—whether that’s screen use, driving, or detailed work.

Yes, we offer advanced wide-field retinal imaging that allows us to examine the back of the eye in detail, often without the need for dilation. When clinically necessary, dilation may still be recommended for a more thorough assessment.

Most adults benefit from annual exams, especially if they wear contact lenses or experience symptoms like dryness, eyestrain, or fluctuating vision.

Yes. We take a medical, root-cause approach to dry eye, focusing on why your symptoms are happening—not just temporary relief.

We provide advanced in-office treatments including Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) and radiofrequency therapy, designed to restore proper oil gland function and improve tear quality.

IPL reduces inflammation around the eyelids and improves the function of the oil glands, helping stabilize the tear film and reduce irritation over time.

Radiofrequency delivers gentle, controlled heat to the eyelids to unclog blocked glands. It’s often used in combination with IPL for a more comprehensive treatment plan.

Dry eye is typically a chronic condition, but with the right combination of treatments, it can be significantly improved and well managed.

Determining whether you’re a good candidate for cataract surgery or refractive eye surgery like LASIK or PRK starts with a comprehensive eye exam. During your visit, we evaluate your vision, eye health, lifestyle needs, and medical history to see if surgery is the right option for you.

We work closely with experienced cataract and LASIK surgeons and can refer you to a trusted specialist when appropriate. Our practice provides co-management of your care, meaning we support you before and after surgery with follow-up visits, monitoring, and personalized guidance to ensure optimal results.

If you’re experiencing blurred vision, glare, halos, or difficulty seeing at night, you may be a strong candidate for evaluation. Schedule an eye exam to learn more about your options for clearer vision.
