Dry eye is a more prevalent condition than you might think. It occurs when your eyes don’t receive adequate lubrication from tears. Symptoms of dry eye encompass:

Astigmatism
Don’t let astigmatism blur your vision and cause discomfort. Our doctors can conduct a thorough eye exam to assess whether you have this highly common condition. Astigmatism refers to the irregular shape of the eye’s front surface, which disrupts the proper bending of light rays. This can result in a number of symptoms including:
- Blurry or Distorted Vision
- Eyestrain
- Headaches
- Discomfort or the Need to Squint
But don’t worry, mild to moderate astigmatism can often be corrected with eyeglasses or contact lenses. Find relief and clear vision today.
Contact Lens Fitting
Just like you, your eyes are unique, and our doctors are committed to finding the perfect and comfortable contact lenses for you. Before being fitted with contacts, we recommend scheduling a comprehensive eye exam to ensure your eyes are healthy for lens wear and to rule out any underlying issues that could affect their use. During this appointment, our doctors will walk you through the process of inserting contacts, ensure your comfort, and determine the best type of lenses for your lifestyle. They will also take precise measurements to ensure the chosen lenses align seamlessly with your eyes’ distinctive contours:
- Corneal Curvature
- Pupil Size
- Tear Film Evaluation
Our aim is to provide an exceptional contact lens experience that ensures a proper and comfortable fit. We offer a wide range of contact lens types, materials, sizes, and colors.
