Our highly trained Opticians use state-of-the-art diagnostic and testing equipment to gather valuable information about your vision and the health of your eyes. The data from this testing helps the doctors determine the best options for your care, and can alert us to the early signs of significant problems before they become serious.
While expert eye health care and excellent customer service are top priorities of our optometry practice, we know fashion sense and quality are important as well. With many options to choose from, we can help you build your own unique look! Our Opticians are very knowledgeable about lens materials and helping you select the best frame style for your individual style. They will also repair and adjust frames for your comfort.
