Services | All patients are treated to comprehensive eye care in which the key word is "thoroughness." With the acquisition of high resolution retinal photography using the Topcon TRC-NW6S camera, high quality photographs are available to complement the dilation that is required with every exam. If not covered by insurance, we assess a nominal charge of $39 for this state of the art test. We also possess glaucoma detection technology including pachymetry, threshold visual field testing and Second generation Fourier Domain Optovue OCT that is used if glaucoma is recognized as a clinical likliehood.
Other services include contact lenses, eyeglasses and primary care optometry which includes management of red eye, foreign bodies, dry eye and keratoconus.
Comanagement of LASIK (laser correction of myopia, hyperopia and astigmatism), glaucoma and cataracts is shared with referring ophthalmologists. I also try to communicate with the patient's primary care provider as permitted by the patient.

We are proud to offer the Topcon TRC-NW6S non dilated retinal exam capability. This revolutionary technology allows almost the most important part of the eye including the optic nerve and macula to be viewed through an undilated pupil. This technology facilitates the early diagnosis and treatment of potentially sight threatening diseases.
Any competent eye exam should include an assessment of the retina to screen for potentially vision threatening diagnoses. That is why we observe the protocol of dilating the eyes.
