It is our true pleasure to have you here today. We strive to offer patient-centered eye and vision care. Please complete the following to help us get to know you and tailor your exam to your exact needs.

While eye exams generally include a look at the front of the eye to evaluate health and prescription changes, a thorough screening of the retina is critical to verify that your eye is healthy. This can lead to early detection of common diseases, such as glaucoma, diabetes, macular degeneration, and even cancer. The photos are quick, painless, and may not require dilation drops. More than 80% of your retina can be evaluated in one single image while traditional imaging methods typically only show 15% of your retina at one time. These photos will become a part of your medical records and will allow the doctor to compare them with subsequent photos at future exams in order to detect even the smallest amounts of change. Dilation is the only way 100% of your retina can be seen and can also help reduce the affects of your/your child's focusing which allows for a more accurate prescription.
