We are a member of the Dynamic Vision Network, a group of independent optometrists who strive to practice optometry in our own capacity to provide our patients with the personal service they deserve. We deliver outstanding personal service, competitive prices and value added products. Often optometrists are the first health care professionals to detect chronic systemic diseases such as high blood pressure and diabetes. Eye examinations are an important part of health maintenance for everyone. Adults should have their eyes tested to keep their prescriptions current and to check for early signs of eye disease. Children's eye exams are important to ensure normal vision development. Eye exams for children also are very important to insure normal vision development and confirm that children have the visual acuity and vision skills required for schoolwork and other activities. If your child is performing poorly at school, be sure to have his or her eyes examined by an eye doctor who specializes in children's vision to rule out an underlying visual cause. Left untreated, amblyopia can stunt the visual development of the affected eye, resulting in permanent vision impairment. Such binocular vision problems can cause headaches, eye strain and other problems that can affect reading and other near vision tasks. In most cases, early detection and treatment of eye diseases can help reduce your risk for permanent vision loss. For example, diabetes can cause small blood vessel leaks or bleeding in the eye, as well as swelling of the macula, which can lead to vision loss. Detecting and treating age-related eye problems early can help maintain quality of life and reduce the risk of permanent vision loss. Vision screenings are limited eye tests that help identify people who are at risk for vision problems. The eye test that you take when you get your driver's license renewed is an example of a vision screening. Keep in mind that a vision screening can indicate that you need to get your eyes checked, but it does not serve as a substitute for a comprehensive eye exam. Based on the results of your exam, your optometrist can recommend a treatment plan suited to your individual needs. Your optometrist may recommend that you take eye vitamins or vision supplements to maintain good eye health or to help alleviate specific problems like dry eyes. Optometrists have an unobstructed view of the eyes' blood vessels, which is where they can see signs of these chronic conditions. We are proud of the personalized eyecare provided to our patients, as well as the best quality products, the finest customer service and the greatest product value. Are you too busy/fussy to carry around more than one pair of glasses? Do you enjoy different looks for different occasions? We are here to find the best fit for your lifestyle. Come in and talk to one of our team about your needs and we will pro-actively recommend the best course of action.
