OPTOMETRY SERVICES
Advanced Pre Tests
Our advanced pre-testing experience combines state-of-the-art diagnostic technology with innovative tools like virtual reality to deliver a more precise and engaging eye exam.
We evaluate visual acuity, depth perception, eye coordination, and color vision testing, along with screening for early signs of eye disease.
This comprehensive pre-test process helps our optometrist detect issues such as myopia (nearsightedness), eye strain, and binocular vision problems, while providing a highly accurate foundation for your comprehensive eye exam.
Contact Lens Fittings
We offer personalized contact lens exams and fittings designed around your lifestyle and comfort. Dr Sydney Lehman fits a wide range of lenses, including daily, monthly, toric, and multifocal contact lenses. We use speciality contact lenses such as scleral or gas permeable for corneal disease, high prescriptions, and severe dry eye. We work with Alcon, Johnson & Johnson, Coopervision, and Bausch & Lomb.
We also provide contact lens trials so you can experience the fit and vision before finalizing your prescription. Careful measurements and follow-up ensure your lenses provide clear, comfortable vision while supporting long-term eye health.
Comprehensive Exams
Our comprehensive eye exams are designed to assess both your vision and overall eye health. In addition to updating prescriptions for glasses and contact lenses, our eye doctor evaluates for conditions such as myopia (that’s when you’re nearsighted), hyperopia (that’s when you’re farsighted), astigmatism, presbyopia (when you need reading glasses), strabismus, diplopia, dry eye, and digital eye fatigue.
We also screen for eye diseases including glaucoma, macular degeneration, cataracts, and diabetic eye disease. Using advanced technology and a personalized approach, we provide thorough eye exams for patients experiencing blurry vision, headaches, or changes in vision, ensuring long-term eye health and clear, comfortable sight.
Dry Eye Therapy
Our dry eye therapy focuses on identifying and treating the underlying causes of dry eye syndrome. We evaluate tear film quality and ocular surface health to build a customized treatment plan that relieves symptoms like irritation, redness, and fluctuating vision.
We can also provide treatment for other sources of discomfort like headaches, ocular migraines, and light sensitivity. We can also work with patients to prescribe or adjust their prism needs for their prescription.
For emergency eye issues, please seek immediate care at the ER.
