About Us

Our Practice

Your eyes are always our focus

Your eyes are
always our focus

Eyes are important indicators of overall health, and comprehensive eye care goes beyond a prescription for glasses or contact lenses. At our offices, we take the time to get to know you, your eye care history, and your vision needs.

Our optometrists provide the expert care, advice, options, and follow-up you need whether you are a new patient or an existing one. We handle everything from adult and children’s eye exams and hard-to-fit contact lenses to eye emergencies, treatment of eye diseases, and co-management of eye surgery such as LASIK.
