We offer full-service eye care, including annual exams, glasses and contact lens fittings, cataract surgery, and laser vision correction procedures like LASIK and PRK. Our doctors also treat conditions such as glaucoma, macular degeneration, diabetic retinopathy, and dry eye syndrome.
In-office treatments such as LipiFlow® and OptiLight IPL provide effective relief from dry eye symptoms. We also perform oculofacial procedures, including blepharoplasty, to restore both vision and eyelid function.
We accept Medicare and most major insurance plans, including Aetna, Cigna, Blue Cross/Blue Shield, Humana, UnitedHealthcare, and Tricare. For routine care and eyewear, we work with vision plans like EyeMed.
You can finance elective procedures such as LASIK or premium cataract lenses through CareCredit® or Alphaeon Credit, which offer no-interest and low monthly payment options. Many patients also use HSA or FSA funds to reduce out-of-pocket costs. Our team will walk you through your benefits and help you select the best financing solution.
