Our exam
We measure eye pressure, examine the front and back of each eye and refine your prescription. Every patient also gets retinal photos and a corneal map for $39, compared year to year so small changes don't slip by. Your doctor explains your images.
With an in-office telehealth visit, the same $39 covers two OCT glaucoma scans.

DreamSculpt Ortho-K
Our Johnson City office runs a DreamSculpt Ortho-K program for children with worsening nearsightedness. This orthokeratology method uses Ortho-K lenses worn only at night, so kids are glasses-free during the day.
See up close and far away without reading glasses
Multifocal contact lenses let many people skip readers for most of the day.
They're designed for presbyopia, the normal age-related loss of close-up focus. Monovision contacts are another approach.
We fit trial lenses and fine-tune them at follow-up.

Scleral lenses for keratoconus
Scleral lenses for keratoconus rest on the white of the eye and hold saline over the cornea, often giving clear vision when glasses can't.
